The new show... "Can't Stop Singing"

Cute! :laugh::grouchy:

I'm really not surprised. Bert and Ernie are very much secondary characters on the tv show now. It's all about the monsters.

Haha! Yep. I noticed the same. What's even more weird for me is to see Telly and Count as mute understudies. Especially Telly! I'd almost rather they just use Honker and Grungetta. Telly is So not a "background" character, you know?

@Oscarfan I used to work for the company and I have a few friends who still do the SSL shows :)

So in the video above, "Murray" and "Prairie" are the other sheep. And that there is the full CSS Cast

The performer playing Murray also does Oscar, Hoots AND a sheep. During fully cast shows, Prairie is the 3rd sheep. Grover and Count play penguins as well

Yes, it's is very interesting. I think Elmo was only an understudy in the theatre version of Let's Play School. Side note: LPS was actually the first show to do a trimmed down "theater" version :-D

Nevermind. Found it!!! :laugh:

I'm pretty sure the reason count is an understudy is because Jerry Nelson was very ill during pre production of this show.

No, I asked my friend who's in the show :) But there's a YouTube vid?? Please share!!!

Yep... As I suspected, Count and Telly are definitely the medium and tall understudy characters :-/

That would be really nice. Unfortunately, I have a strong feeling he's the medium understudy character :(

It'll never happen. He's too tall. It's unsafe for him to go up and down stairs.

Sometimes when characters split tracks (e.g. Cookie/Telly, Count/Bert) they'll put the understudies in the other character just for photo purposes, but I wouldn't be surprised if Count and Telly were the medium and tall u/s :-/

They just posted another pic! Prairie is the small understudy!!! :flirt:
