Elmo Rocks! returns in 2016 in The Globe Theatre

[CastleOSullivan]

"Elmo Rocks!" will be returning in 2016. This time it will be in The Globe Theatre. The show will run from March 19 to May 1.

I guess it will already be running on Pass Member Preview Day. I am interested to see how they will incorporate it on the stage. It would look quite strange without any projections, as the entire stage is pearly white with peace signs and swirls.

Elmo needs to be burned at the stake the same goes for the rest of his friends and spongebob to.

So avoiding the globe again this summer...

At least it's contained within a theater instead of out in an open theater like last year.

I'd almost prefer this over London Rocks.

EDIT: no, I would totally prefer this over London Rocks.

Hopefully this means they'll remove the hundreds (thousands?) of British flags polluting the skyward view in England....>

We can dream.

My young ones like Elmo Rocks, so they will be happy.

And, The Glove >>> Outside, as it is more conducive to naps

Why are people happy about this what is wrong you

 

[Nicole]

Why shouldn't people with kids, who like the show, not be happy? I'd rather watch it in the Globe than the FoF, too.

It's only an improvement compared to what we're used to. I don't think anyone is thrilled with the triumphant return of the theatrical masterpiece that is Elmo Rocks, but I think most people are happy to see the Globe used this time around instead of Il Teatro di San Marco which has housed it in past years.

My daughter will be very happy about it. As for me, it's no worse than any other 5 year old entertainment that I put up with on a daily basis.

As long as they don't paint the doors blue like in 2009, I welcome Elmo because he isn't in Italy. I might actually have more than one weekend to appreciate "regular season" Italy this year.

I seriously wonder how they will stage this in the Globe however. Also, I hope BGW doesn't have to cough up the money themselves. Then I don't really care how little or how much they do. It could have been a more versatile theater like the Abbbeystone, but I think it's too late for that until London Rocks is gone.

Does anyone think this happened because of the Italy construction?

Does anyone think this happened because of the Italy construction?

Considering the construction in San Marco is not going to touch the Teatro stage(or really the theatre at all), and is scheduled to be finished by park opening, no. I think the Globe was chosen most likely due to the fact it will be sticking around for a lot longer this year. Additionally, the Globe is more weather resistant, and it'll be vacant. They may have other things planned for the Teatro stage, also.

I myself hated elmo as a kid and I know of several other people whom themselves hated the little red furball when they were growing up hence my earlier statement.

 

[Nicole]

While I'm sure that plenty of people dislike Elmo, it seems evident that he is still very popular.

I'm 100% certain this show is better than London Rocks.

- Just watched the SW version. If they keep that then it'll def be way better.

This was by far the best iteration that I have seen of this show. They still don't allow filming though.
