• Sesame Street Live: Elmo's Green Thumb
  November 19-22, 2009 / Nationwide Arena
  As the live stage show licensee of Sesame Workshop (the nonprofit organization behind Sesame Street), VEE will present an amazing adventure as Elmo and friends help find a new home for Elmo's sunflower, Sunny. Elmo has raised Sunny from a seed, but his floral friend has outgrown the flowerpot. When Elmo and friends move Sunny to Big Bird's garden, they learn some big lessons about patience, overcoming their fears and appreciating the role that each creature plays in the ecosystem - from dancing ladybugs and beautiful butterflies to grouchy beetles that scavenge the garden floor.
• The Columbus Symphony: Mahler Symphony No. 9
  November 20-22, 2009 / Ohio Theatre
  The Columbus Symphony brings out a third Symphony No. 9 in a row! This time, the orchestra performs the ninth symphony of German composer Gustav Mahler. At the time, Mahler was struggling between tonal and atonal worlds. This struggle is clearly evident in this work, especially the fourth movement. While it was written in 1909, Mahler never heard it performed; it was premiered in Vienna in 1912, a year after his death.
