Elmo's Coloring Book



Sesame Street Live: Elmo's Coloring Book was a Sesame Street Live show produced by VEE Corporation in 1997.

In this show, Elmo and the gang, along with an artist named Professor Art, go into a coloring book and make drawings. Meanwhile, many different things turn from their original color to white. Among these is Oscar the Grouch, who suddenly turns nicer when he's white. Eventually, they learn that the colors were taken by a polar bear who wants to be these colors.

Cast

 * Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Telly Monster, Rosita, Bert, Ernie, Count Von Count, Prairie Dawn, Oscar the Grouch, Baby Bear, Professor Art, Blanche the Polar Bear, The Palettes

(The program for this show also lists Grover, Zoe, and the Honkers, but they aren't actually in the show.)

Telly received more stage time in this show due to his absence in 123 Imagine! the previous year.

A revamped version of the show meant for theatres instead of arenas, directed by Sloan Bayer, hit the road for a 2006-2007 international tour. The tour included two weeks at Madison Square Garden, a performance on The Today Show and several months of performances outside the U.S. It was replaced on the theatre circuit in 2007 by Super Grover! Ready for Action.
