Sesame Street Live Event Muppets Show Performance

Sesame Street Live Performance

This Introduction of Sesame Street Live is based on the Wikipedia history and description of the performing group.

In March 1980, Vincent Egan founded the VEE Corporation, who wanted to create a live character show similar to Sesame Street. He previously worked for the Muppets featuring company Ice Follies. He got in touch with the Children's Television Workshop and the Jim Henson's company who were interested in his proposal.

After securing some funding for the project, a licensing agreement was signed by Vee for the characters with the Children's Television Workshop.

In September 1980 at the Metropolitan Sports Center in Bloomington, Minnesota the first Sesame Street Live show opened for a successful five-day run. After some reduced attendance to the following shows in five locations, Vee changed the script and the marketing materials while he asked his financiers for a stay of the payments.

The following Christmas season in New York City, the show went on to play for four weeks at Madison Square Garden's 4,000-seat Felt Forum before an audience of 100,000 spectators. VEE then added shows to Australia in 1982–1983 and from the 1983-1984 season until the 1988-1989 season there were only two Sesame Street Live shows on tour.

Blue Star Media, LLC purchased VEE Corporation On April 1, 2015 But kept Egan as a consultant and the company with the Sesame Street Live performance was renamed VStar Entertainment Group.
