FROM SESAME STREET.
I'M GOING TO TRY MY BEST.
Chris: BEING PRETTY GOOD.
RASCAL BUNCH OF THE SHOW.
HIT PRODUCTION HAS BEEN EXTENDED
THROUGH FEBRUARY 17TH.
WE'RE GOING TO TRY OUR BEST AT
THIS BUT WE'RE GOING TO LET THE
PROS HERE.
COCO WIEL WITH A PREVIEW.
THANK YOU.
SO I DON'T HAVE THAT.
WHAT ARE SOME TIPS WE SHOULD BE
DOING FOR THIS?
WELL, PUTTING THE CHIN DOWN.
TRY TO MAKE EYE CONTACT LIKE AT
THE CAMERA OR WITH EACH OTHER.
WHEN YOU'RE TALKING, THE VOWELS,
MOUTH STAY OPEN AND CONSO NENT,
IT CHOSES.
TAKES A LOT OF PRACTICE, WHICH
OUR FABULOUS CAST HAS HAD A LOT
OF PRACTICE.
AND A GREAT RUN FROM THE SHOW.
THOSE ARE SOME LITTLE TIPS.
Chris: SOUNDS LIKE SOME
GOOD TIPS.
Tannya: WHAT IS THE STORY
IF YOU KNOW SESAME STREET,
THE CHARACTERS FROM SESAME
STREET GROW UP, AND THEY MOVE TO
THE AVENUES, WHICH KIND OF MAKES
MORE SENSE.
IN THE NEW YORK LIFESTYLE.
IT'S MUCH MORE MATURE
SITUATIONS.
MUCH MORE RISKE STORY LINES AND
MUCH MORE WHAT
ADULTS RATHER THAN WHAT KIDS
ENCOUNTER BUT IT'S STILL THE
SAME MORAL LESSONS.
Tannya: BECAUSE IT'S RISKE,
WE BOTH HAVE KIDS.
YOU REALLY ONLY SHOULD HAVE A
MATURE AUD YEBS? AUDIENCE?
YES.
Tannya: HOW LONG DOES IT
TAKE FOR PUPPETEERS TO GET
PROFICIENT?
IT'S AN ONGOING PROCESS.
IN THE BEGINNING, IT'S A LOT OF
EXPLORATION.
MUCH MORE PROFICIENT.
AND IT'S FINE TUNING, JUST LIKE
WITH EVERYTHING.
Chris: THE INITIAL
RESPONSE, WHAT DID PEOPLE THINK
OF THE PLAY WHEN THEY FIRST SAW
IT HERE?
SHOCKING.
BUT IT'S A GREAT SHOW.
ESPECIALLY FOR GENERATION XERES
WHO GREW UP WITHSESAME STREET.
Tannya: COCO, HOW LONG HAVE
YOU BEEN INVOLVED WITH THIS
PRODUCTION?
FROM THE BEGINNING.
Tannya: REALLY?
YES.
I WORK LOCALLY AT THE
I FOCUS ON TEACHING, ACTING WITH
PUPPETS.
Chris: WHO MAKES THESE?
BY THE PUPPETEERS IN NEW
YORK.
I THINK THESE ARE JIM HENSON'S.
THEY GET CONTRACTED TO COME IN
AND PERFORM FOR EVERY
PRODUCTION.
Tannya: I THINK WE'VE
TALKED ABOUT THEM ENOUGH.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WORK ON
OUR GAME.
WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO BE
PERFORMING?
THEY'RE GOING TO BE
PERFORMING THE OPENING NUMBER OF
THE SHOW.
