For their final community appearance in Detroit, Elmo and Cookie Monster will make their way to Beaumont Hospital to visit with patients and perform a special routine. During their visit, the two Sesame Street Live stars will share hugs and smiles with patients in the pediatric garden where they will perform a routine and then make their rounds to patients' individual rooms.

Media are invited to capture the performance and visit in the Pediatric Garden. A Sesame Street Live spokesperson will also be available for interviews about Sesame Street Live "Can't Stop Singing" at the Fox Theatre, playing now thru Feb. 17.

The appearance is set for Tuesday, February 11 at 1 p.m. at the Royal Oak Beaumont, Pediatric Garden
3601 W. 13 Mile Rd., Royal Oak, MI 48073.

ABOUT THE SHOW: When Elmo gets his furry fingers on Abby Cadabby's magic wand, there's something in the air - and Sesame Street becomes a nonstop, all-singing, all-dancing musical montage! Grover and Baby Bear sing their highs and lows, Cookie Monster sings fast and slow, Bert and Ernie converse in song and Murray makes mouth music for all to sing along! Sesame Street Live "Can't Stop Singing" offers a fun-filled learning experience packed with the razzle-dazzle of interactive live performance, including up-close and personal interactions on the audience floor.
