Special visitors will greet patients at Hasbro Children’s Hospital on Friday, January 27.

Elmo and his friends from Sesame Street Live’s “Elmo’s Coloring Book,” will visit inpatients at the hospital, reading stories in the playroom and visiting children at the bedside.

Due to their ailments, many young patients may not be able to enjoy this weekend’s performance of “Elmo’s Coloring Book” at The Providence Performing Arts Center, but the fun will be brought to them as Elmo and his friends roam the halls.
