Sesame Street Road Trip is a nation-wide Sesame Street tour to help celebrate the show's 50th anniversary. The tour visited ten different cities over the course of summer 2019, beginning with New York City in June.[1][2]
Additionally, at each stop on the tour, material was shot for a series of segments that appeared during Season 50, all about what "local kids love about their communities."[4]
The stage show included the songs "Here We Go", "So Much Alike", "Let's Go Driving", "Sesame Street Theme", and after a false ending, "Letter of the Day", as well as an original song on food in the USA. Big Bird appears in pre-recorded segments on a TV, as if he were making a video call on a cellular phone.
