 	COLD OPEN 	What's the Word on the Street?: Pirouette
 	SCENE 1 	While a hungry customer wonders whether to have the soup or the salad, Chris welcomes the viewer to Sesame Street and is about to eat a salad of his own, when Abby Cadabby poofs into view, causing the salad to fly out of his hands and land on the customer's head. Abby shows Chris her new shoes that she got from the Shoe Fairy - shoes are special to her because fairies don't usually wear shoes. However, Abby is surprised when Telly shows up wearing no shoes at all (unlike Chris and the viewer). She tells him to make a "shoe wish" so the Fairy Shoeperson will come and give him his first pair of shoes. Telly accidentally does so, and the Fairy Shoeperson (Neil Patrick Harris) poofs onto the scene.
 	SCENE 1cont'd 	When asked what kind of shoes he has, the Shoeperson breaks into song (and dance) as he magically puts all kinds of shoes on everyone on Sesame Street (whether or not they need them).
This portion of the street scene can been seen on 40 Years of Sunny Days.
 	SCENE 1cont'd 	Once the song is finished, Telly suggests that the Shoeperson surprise him with any shoe at all. He blows his shoe horn, and the first pair Telly gets on his feet is a pair of running shoes, which help Telly run, but not stop. Thus, the Shoeperson gives him some ballet shoes, which make him pirouette out of control.
 	SCENE 1cont'd 	The Shoeperson, getting more and more impatient, once again blows his horn and gives Telly a pair of sensible-looking shoes ... which lift him higher and higher (elevator shoes!). Telly certainly doesn't need the kind of shoes he can't balance on. The Shoeperson, fed up, disappears, and Telly once again has no shoes. But that's okay for him - he explains to Abby that he, like all other monsters, can function perfectly without shoes. They start playing a game of tag, and Chris remarks, "Well, I guess it's true what they say - if the shoe fits, wear it. And if it don't ... don't."

==Supporting cast==
*Matt Vogel as the customer
==Notes==
*Some minor gags were cut from the final script compared to earlier drafts. The Anything Muppet customer who opens the street story excitedly accepts the "tossed salad" that drops on his head. Later, while Telly is zooming around in the running shoes, he accidentally crashes into a Muppet delivery person carrying a case of glass slippers for the Fairy Shoeperson. Finally, Telly's elevator shoes would be able to speak, declaring "Going up!" as the shoes begin to lift him into the air.Tony Geiss Papers at the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Yale University
