Champaign, IL — Champaign Park District is proud to announce Elmo’s Got the Moves, an all-new Sesame Street Live production that will travel to cities across the U.S. and Canada, with a stop in Champaign, IL, on Saturday, March 28, 2026, at 2pm. This joyful and engaging show invites children—and their families—to sing, dance, and move along with their favorite friends from Sesame Street in a heartwarming, interactive celebration unlike anything they’ve seen before.
Tickets for Elmo’s Got the Moves will go on sale Friday, November 21, with pre-sales starting Thursday, November 20. Reserved seating tickets are $29.50-$69.50 plus an additional per-ticket fee of $4-$7. A $40 Photo Experience Ad-On will also be sold separately. Tickets will be available at the Virginia Theatre Box Office, online at thevirginia.org, or charge by phone at (217) 356-9063.
Elmo’s Got the Moves will have kids and parents alike out of their seats and dancing along with Elmo and his Sesame Street friends as they move and groove to fan-favorite songs, including “Sunny Days,” “Elmo’s Got the Moves,” and “Letter of the Day.” Families will discover fun and playful ways to move—from yoga and jumping rope to cartwheeling and silly dance moves— all in a welcoming environment that brings the magic of Sesame Street from the screen to the stage. More than just a show, Elmo’s Got the Moves is a shared moment of laughter and learning – an experience you and your child will treasure long after the final song.
Following Sesame Street Day and the debut of new Sesame Street episodes (November 10), this brand-new live tour gives families the ultimate way to experience Sesame Street—bringing the joy, music, and characters they know and love off the screen and onto the stage in an unforgettable, interactive celebration.
