Ha, the opening between Big Bird and Mr. T.Hanks was a laugh. As well as the standing ovation from the entire audience as they all “Sing.”

This was fun. Big Bird thinking Tom Hanks' name was Thanks and trying to sit in his lap was funny. This is My Street was the perfect song for the occasion. I could tell that Leslie was still grieving over losing Caroll. I empathized with her.

I thought the sing-a-long was great. And it didn't seem to be just a polite standing ovation/sing-a-long. The audience really seemed to appreciate it and enjoyed it.
