Callum has been obsessed with Elmo for as long as I can remember. I'm not sure what it is about that little red guy, but the second Callum spots him anywhere, it's all he can focus on. I have this app on my phone that essentially lets you FaceTime with Elmo, and it has been a saving grace on long car rides, restaurants, or just when Callum is in a grumpy mood.
So, when I found out that Sesame Street live was coming to the Milwaukee Theatre January 9 - 10, I knew that we would have to check it out. The show coming to Milwaukee, "Make a New Friend," will be featuring Big Bird, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Bert and Ernie, and more. Each performance is 90 minutes of singing, dancing and audience participation, including a 15-minute intermission. The perfect length for very young children, like Callum. Other than a few sporting events, Callum has never been to any sort of live performance or movie. I just know he's going to love seeing some of his favorite characters come to life in "Make a New Friend."
