I like how kids always name their toys based on what they are. They call their dolls Dolly, a stuffed horse becomes Horsey and plastic dump trucks are lovingly known as Dumpy. That's why kids will feel right at home in the audience at Sesame Street Live: Elmo's Green Thumb, showing Friday through Sunday at Nokia Theatre at Grand Prairie, 1001 Performance Drive. The show follows Elmo as he attempts to find a home for his newest pal, Sunny the Sunflower, who has quickly outgrown his flower pot. In a bizarre Honey, I Shrunk the Kids moment, Elmo and his friends are accidentally shrunken with a magical spell, leaving them looking up to ladybugs and beetles that suddenly seem giant. And, don't worry, all the familiar facesâ€”Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Oscar, Bert and Ernieâ€”will be there too. Not only will the kiddies have a blast, but they'll learn lessons about patience, overcoming their fears and how ecosystems work. Showtimes are 10:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. Friday, and 10:30 a.m., 2 and 5:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are $12 to $34. Call 214-373-8000 or visit ticketmaster.com.
