Does anyone know at what time he is supposed to appear? I missed 30 minutes of it and I won't be here to watch all of it. Or does Elmo appear throught the show? Thanks.

Pros:

Hoots the Owl was there! That was cool.

Cons:

Elmo and Vivica A. Foxx did a remake of Lena Horne and Grover's "How Do You Do?" I like the Grover one better. It was cute though.

I went into to DC last night and watched the dress rehearsal. He was so cute! He rode a tricycle, and was so funny. He kept making comments in his Elmo voice about how the slow the rehearsal was going!

The "robot" Elmo on the tricycle was really cool. Someday they will make robotic hands inside the puppets so the mouth movements are more realistic. Kevin did a really good job with such a large crowd. Speaking of, what is the largest live crowd a Muppet has ever performed in front of?

It was a good combination of Elmo for the kids, and famous people and music for the adults.
