Post-Show Photo Experience Add-On
A $40 add-on Photo Experience is available to all ticket buyers - meet the characters of ELMO’S GOT THE MOVES!
In this exclusive post-show experience, you and your family will have the opportunity to make a lasting memory of your visit by taking a photo alongside characters from ELMO’S GOT THE MOVES!
Here’s how it works:
- Photo Experience ticket purchasers should go to the Will Call window at the Box Office on the show day to pick up their photo experience passes and after-show instructions.
- Each adult and child must have a Photo Experience ticket to attend and participate in the Photo Experience. The Photo Experience will start shortly after the end of show.
- Please make sure to bring your camera, as you will want to capture every moment!
PARENTS: please note that while most children are excited to meet their favorite characters up-close, others can feel frightened. If your child is scared or hesitant to meet the characters, we recommend moving to the back of the line; This will allow your child the extra time they may need to warm up to the characters and see how they interact with other children present.
- Admission to the performance is not included in the Photo Experience ticket. This is a separate upgrade that must be purchased in advance.
- Children aged 12 and under must be accompanied by a Parent/Guardian. Each Child, Parent or Guardian must have a show ticket as well as a Photo Experience ticket to attend.
