Elmo, Abby Cadabby, Cookie Monster, and their Sesame Street friends to travel to Sarasota for an unforgettable family celebration on April 26
Sarasota, FL (December 8) – Round Room Live is proud to announce Elmo’s Got the Moves, an all-new Sesame Street Live production that will travel to cities across the U.S. and Canada, with a stop in Sarasota at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall on April 26, 2026 at 2 p.m. This joyful and engaging show invites children—and their families—to sing, dance, and move along with their favorite friends from Sesame Street in a heartwarming, interactive celebration unlike anything they’ve seen before. Tickets go on sale Friday, December 12 at 10 a.m.
Elmo’s Got the Moves will have kids and parents alike out of their seats and dancing along with Elmo and his Sesame Street friends as they move and groove to fan-favorite songs, including “Sunny Days,” “Elmo’s Got the Moves,” and “Letter of the Day.” Families will discover fun and playful ways to move—from yoga and jumping rope to cartwheeling and silly dance moves— all in a welcoming environment that brings the magic of Sesame Street from the screen to the stage. More than just a show, Elmo’s Got the Moves is a shared moment of laughter and learning – an experience you and your child will treasure long after the final song.
Following Sesame Street Day and the debut of new Sesame Street episodes (November 10), this brand-new live tour gives families the ultimate way to experience Sesame Street—bringing the joy, music, and characters they know and love off the screen and onto the stage in an unforgettable, interactive celebration.
