Ep 26. Princess Show

The "Princess Show" is the 26th episode of Season 40 of the beloved children's show Sesame Street. In this episode, viewers get to go on a magical adventure as they explore what it means to be a princess, and the value of inner beauty.

The episode starts with Abby Cadabby and Elmo dressed up as princesses and getting ready for a special show that they are putting on. They are joined by their friend Rosita, who has brought along her guitar to provide music for the show.

As they begin their performance, they are interrupted by a real-life princess named Princess Penelope (played by actor Hailee Steinfeld). Princess Penelope is looking for a place to hide from her royal duties for a little while, and Abby and Elmo are happy to take her in.

After getting to know each other a little better, Princess Penelope shares with Abby and Elmo what it's really like to be a princess. She tells them about all of the expectations and pressure that come with being part of a royal family, and how sometimes it can be difficult to feel like her true self.

This leads Abby and Elmo to suggest that they put on their own "princess show" where they can decide what it means to be a princess. They all agree, and the show goes on.

Throughout the show, Abby and Elmo teach Princess Penelope important lessons about being a princess, including the value of kindness, strength, and inner beauty. They also showcase some of their own unique talents, such as Rosita's guitar playing and Abby's magic tricks.

As the show comes to a close, Princess Penelope sees how much fun it can be to just be herself, and how important it is to prioritize her own happiness. She thanks Abby and Elmo for showing her a new perspective, and they part ways.

Overall, "Princess Show" is a heartwarming episode that teaches important lessons about individuality and self-worth. It's a must-watch for any young children who are interested in princesses, or who could use a little reminder about what really matters in life.
