Zoe (Sesame Street)

Zoe is a character from the TV show Sesame Street. She is an orange monster who is 3 years old and is very energetic. Her introduction was in 1993.

Zoe was originally unclothed except her barrettes, bracelets, and necklace. She was dressed in a tutu from season 33 to season 48, as like many girls of her age, Zoe is obsessed with ballet. Her love of dance in general resulted in the video Zoe's Dance Moves. In Season 49, while she wears her tutu on occasion, Zoe was mostly unclothed.

She is currently played by Jennifer Barnhart, but was first played by Fran Brill.
