The original act featured Big Bird , Ernie , Bert , Mr . Snuffleupagus , Cookie Monster , Betty Lou , Oscar the Grouch , and the Count , with the addition of Small Bird in 1976 . The tour visited dozens of cities across the United States , as well as Puerto Rico and Mexico . The 1974 season ' s " Sesame Street " segment was for the most part song - oriented . Although songs played a part in all " Sesame " segments , subsequent years featured more dialogue . For that season , Ernie ' s character appeared in a bathtub for the entire time , and sang " Rubber Duckie " . Oscar only briefly appeared , in a trash can , to sing " I Love Trash " .
