Here's a vid of most of the finale from the 2nd remount of Elmo Makes Music. It has been scaled down a LOT since it's original production in 01 and first remount in 06.

Sidenote- I think the medium understudy is in for Ernie during this performance, because he messed up bigtime near the end :stick_out_tongue:

Wow, im late lol. Haven't been on in awhile.

But yeah, this production is very...eh, cute. I like, no correction - LOVE the fact they used backdrops instead of the stupid projector. I HATED that thing. It's funny how the very show that introduced that thing is the one that gets transformed back into the classic backdrops. I like it though, but I still feel that there were a few hits and misses. Like during the EW scene, why not use a backdrop of EW instead of just only using the props?

Anyways, it's overall a very nice change. It kind of looks like the old SSL sets, which didn't feature a lot of lights on the backdrops. But this a nice step in a good direction for VEE, after all, if you are going to repeat a show, at least make it FRESH, which they did, and quite well, hehe. =)

I have to say, I'm very much excited to know that they are actually coming to the UK this time, and even appearing in my very TOWN!
