Sesame Park Live: When I Grow Up

When I Grow Up was the second Sesame Park Live show, which ran in 1998. It was an adaptation of the American Sesame Street Live show When I Grow Up. The tour was produced by NorthStar Theatrical Productions.

Dodi allows everybody in Sesame Park to write what they want to be when they grow up. The whole cast is featured in big song and dance numbers about their dream jobs.

Basil wants to be an astronaut, Louis wants to be a interpreter, Bert and Ernie choose forest rangers. Chaos wants to be a hockey player, though the Count counts 700 penalty shots before Chaos makes a goal. Cookie Monster wants to be a cook, and open the world's first drive-in cookie restaurant.

Grover refuses to participate, because he thinks the whole idea is silly. Chaos ends up making him be a member of her imaginary hockey team, playing another round with her unwilling "teammate".

Big Bird isn't sure about what he wants to be. In the end, Dodi makes Big Bird the director.
