Unusual for a live show, the Muppet performers both spoke and sang live, making the experience slightly different for each performance. The puppeteers, clad all in black, are exposed to the audience, while two large screens loom over both sides of the stage, both of which frame only the Muppet characters (however, the performers reveal themselves during the curtain call). Unlike other Sesame Street live shows, these shows utilized the official puppets used on the show itself rather than walk-around costume versions.
