Let’s Chat With
Sean Roach from
Sprout TV
Recently our family visited Sesame Place and had the chance to
get an up close meet up with Sean Roach from Sprout TV and his friend Chica from the Sunny Side Up Show!
Our family has been watching Sprout since just after Emily was born, so it was great to finally meet Sean and Chica! They have been a part of our morning for a long time.
Emily could not have been more excited, especially when Chica had a conversation with her! What a great day!
We also had the chance to watch Sean and Chica as they put on a little show for all the fans at the Monster Rock theater.
Sprout Weekend with Chica and Super Why was just one of the great Concert Weekends held at Sesame Place throughout the season.
I also had the chance to catch up with Sean Roach of Sprout”s Sunny Side Up Show and Noodle and Doodle! It was a delight to chat with him. Okay, so I did feel like I already knew him from years but it was great to see him on this side of the TV!

It’s very magical to come out and do a live show and see the excitement on the faces of the children and everyone when they meet Chica in person. I love to travel and meet the fans and families. It’s such a pleasure to look into the audience and see everyone so happy and to know I am a part of that! I also love filming for Noodle and Doodle!
