Grover, Elmo, Cookie Monster and Oscar the Grouch are all backed up by Local 802 musicians who record for “Sesame Street” under a union contract. Allegro photographer Kate Glicksberg was granted access to a recent session  at the Yellow Sound Lab in the East Village and took these photos of our musicians at work.
