Notes

• During the opening number of the first performance ("Sing"), John Tartaglia accidently knocked his mic off, and was handed a hand mic for the rest of the show.
• Dave Goelz did not have a mic on during the Muppet medley for the first performance, which resulted in Gonzo's lines being barely audible.
• Despite performing multiple characters in the show, Steve Whitmire and Bill Barretta were not listed among the performers in the concert's promotional materials.
• During the first performance, Kevin Clash (Elmo) caught Steve Whitmire (Ernie) off guard during "Rubber Duckie" by having Elmo squeaking for Ernie's Rubber Duckie, which caused Whitmire to laugh.
