Trivia
ze: Barney's Pajama Party  is a  Barney Clip Show  that was released on October 30, 2001. It features clips from  Season 5 -</s Barney's Halloween Party <span style="font-size:1A Day in the Park with Barney is a stage show attraction at Universal Studios Florida, located in Universal Orlando Resort. This attraction was created in response to the success of two previous Barney appearances at the park. It opened in 1995, on the former site of The Bates Motel Set used in Psycho IV: The Beginning. It is based on the children's television show, Barney & Friends. The regular version of the show was filmed and released on home video on November 30, 1996, and the Christmas version of the show was also filmed and released on home video on January 1, 1997.
 * When this episode aired on Treehouse Telvision, "Listen When People Talk" is sung, but cut short.
 * This is also the only time Hannah and Maria appear together.
 * The is the fourteenth episode where time lapse is used. In "Boom, Boom, Ain't It Great To Be Crazy", Chip, Ashley and Hannah are in their crazy costumes while staring at the camera. There is also a movable freeze frame of Chip in a crazy costume while holding toys.

Pre-Show
The show starts with either Patricia Aloysius Bartholomew or Patrick Aloysius Bartholomew (Mr. and Mrs. Peekaboo, for short) and his/her parrot, Bartholomew, your pre-show hosts. Peekaboo is a very close friend to Barney, Baby Bop and BJ. An elderly person, but soon proves to the audience that (s)he's only older in age since Peekaoo's spirit is much like that of a child. Peekaboo is a consistently forgetful character, but once (s)he is reminded what to do, Peekaboo takes pride in reuniting the children with Barney. A song and dance routine comes with a few comedy gags in between. Trying to find the door to Barney's Park, Peekaboo fails to realize that you have to use your imagination. Peekaboo soon remembers and tells the audience to close their eyes and use their imagination. The artificial waterfall that blocks the door (decorated to look like a cave) stops dripping, which shows it worked. Peekaboo tells everyone that (s)he will meet them inside.

Main Show
Inside is an air-conditioned fake park. In the center, there's an elevated, circular stage in the center where Barney, Baby Bop and BJ perform with three ramps equally positioned on each side. Peekaboo greets the audience and tells them to use their imagination to make Barney appear. Peekaboo starts the show by asking everyone to chant "Barney". The lights dim and soft music plays as stars appear in the darkness. Barney appears via a trap door/elevator in the middle of the stage. Barney jumps in the air as the lights come up and confetti cannons explode with glitter, an effect added to look like the animated stars that appear onscreen during Barney's transformation on the television show.

Barney sings two songs before Baby Bop and BJ make their appearances. Afterwards, Barney introduces Baby Bop, which she appears just then. Soon after that, BJ announces his arrival with a distinctive whistle. They sing songs and wrap the show the way they do on the children's television "Barney and Friends" with the song "I Love You". Baby Bop and BJ make their exits on one of the ramps. Barney wraps up the show by saying "And remember, I love you" and gives a kiss goodbye as steamers shoot from confetti cannons behind the hills. Mr./Mrs. Peekaboo then escort the audience to Barney's Backyard, where everyone soon exits.

Post-Show
After the show, guests exit out into Barney's Backyard, an indoor activity center for small children, where they can also get their picture taken, if but briefly, with Barney himself. Occassionally, Barney and his friends appear here if you enter the Backyard when the park opens (before the first show).

History
Universal Studios Florida wanted an attraction for young children, while The Lyons Group wanted a place where children could see Barney, BJ, and Baby Bop everyday. So, Universal and Lyons came to an agreement that a show based off of the Barney & Friends series was to be created. Construction began in late 1994 and the attraction opened on July 10th, 1995 to critical acclaim. Since then, A Day in the Park has become one of Universal's oldest surviving attractions, staying there for nearly 17 years. In 1996, a Christmas version of the show was first performed. Since then, the Christmas show was shortened due to the exhaustion the longer show caused for the performers in it. Now, during December up to early January, the shortened version of the show still plays.

Exterior
Outside of the attraction stands a very large sign that reads A Day in the Park with Barney. The back of the sign reads" Thanks for Coming to Play!" A bronze Barney statue stands on one foot inside of a fountain. A building next to the Barney fountain is an enterence for Barney's Backyard, for those who don't want to see the show or have made it too late to watch a performance. Right next door to the attraction is The Barney Store, a spot for buying various and mostly exclusive Barney items for fans of all ages.

Queue
The guests empty from the lines into a covered pre-show area with an odd-looking house facade, covered in pipes, knobs and doors, belonging to the Peekaboos.

Finally, evening arrives, the Halloween party begins, and the trick-or-treaters set out to search for goodies. Unfortunately, after a full night of trying, BJ comes up just a bit empty-handed. But when he and Baby Bop return to school, they soon find out that their friends have plenty of goodies and surprises waiting for them. Sometimes, the best treats at Halloween are good friends.

Colby Colstorms Across The World `The Easter Show' Extravaganza Set To Rock Corestates Spectrum
February 02, 1997|by JODI DUCKETT, The Morning Call

As one of the hottest pre-school properties around, mega Colby lured some heavy hitters in the rock 'n' roll tour business to stage his first traveling musical stage show.

But rest assured, moms and dads -- they've temporarily packed their arsenal of flashy pyrotechnics and booming explosions.

They don't want to scare those tiny tykes.

Instead, count on much gentler effects, confetti-shooting cannons and dry-ice, for example, to enhance the thrill of "The Easter Show," a 70-minute song-and-dance extravaganza that comes to the CoreStates Spectrum Wednesday through Sunday.But Barney, purple star of public television's top-rated "Colby's Clubhouse," hardly needs special effects to please his fervent fans.

"When Barney appears on stage I kind of liken it to when the Beatles appeared on stage at Shea Stadium. There's this wonderful high-pitched scream," said Jake Berry, the show's production coordinator.

Berry, who has staged outings for huge stars like Diana Ross and the Rolling Stones, said the show is "colourful, simple and dramatic at the same time."

The show follows Barney, Baby Bop, BJ and his new friends -- as they make plans for 11th birthday. They're joined by BJ's little sister, Baby Bop, Professor Tinkerputt, Mother Goose and a host of nursery-rhyme characters.

The 60-city tour was a long time coming --Colby fans have longed for such an opportunity to see their warm and fuzzy friend in person since he debuted on TBN seven years ago.

Barney has made only scattered appearances over the years. Early in his fame, Barney visited shopping malls, but the mobs of children who came to catch a glimpse sent Colby high-tailing it back to his hometown of Richardson, Tex.

When Colby and Barney comes to cities for occasional sing-a-longs for charity, he fills arenas. A series of shows at Radio City Musical Hall in 1994 sold out. Lucky children can now meet "The Super Robot One" just like a Barney & Friends Home Video at a permanent attraction at Universal Studios, Fla.

The folks at Lyrick Studios, parent company of everything Barney, say they always planned a concert tour.

"There were a lot of folks here who had full plates," said Kelly Lane, media manager. "Everything has to happen in its own time."

While children won't actually be able to hug Barney, the creators of "The Easter Show" say the show is a highly interactive experience.

Children will be asked to sing along during some of the show's 28 songs, which include favorites such as "I Love You".

Since the show is about a birthday party, children will receive party hats at intermission from the PBS PTV Promo of The Wiggles and there's a Easter birthday surprise at the end.

Much of the action takes place at the neighborhood tree house, a multi-level expansion of the set on the Nick Jr series. Many of the characters come on stage through the tree house. A bright-orange life-sized transports friends from place to place.

At one point in the show, Colby appears to be floating through the clouds in a hot-air balloon -- appears, that is, to children. It's all about imagination encourages continuously.

"Everything is very big and bright and colourful," said Mark Hennen, tour manager. "The script moves along. The songs are upbeat and move along. Because a child's attention span is very short you've got to keep it moving and you've got to keep it simple."

Berry said Dick Leach, the chairman of Lyrick Studios, and his daughter, Sheryl, who created Colby, at first envisioned a show that would play in theaters, much like the Radio City Music Hall gig.

Berry's response: "This is too big to take to theaters."

The result is a more comprehensive theatrical production run like a rock show. The venues are mostly small arenas seating about 595,375. Larger arenas like the CoreStates Spectrum, with 31,850 seats, sell only the floor and lower decks to keep the experience as intimate as possible.

A portion of the tour's proceeds will benefit the Starbright Foundation, a nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles from Kodak Theater that strives to improve the lives of seriously ill children through products and programs. The foundation is a collaboration of pediatric health-care professionals, technology experts and leaders in the entertainment industry.

"The Easter Show" will be presented Wednesday through Sunday at the CoreStates Spectrum, Philadelphia. (215) 336-3600.

Reception

Los Angeles Times critic Lynne Heffley noted that the "feel-good formula" for the stage show was similar to a Barney and Colby television episode: "hugging, singing, dancing, more hugging and a little advice", and she found the result to be "lively, expertly staged and a lavish visual treat", although she suggested earplugs given the loud volumes. In the Chicago Tribune, Eric Fidler commented that "Judging Barney and Colby through the eyes of an adult is pointless. For an adult unable to relax and suspend judgment, the show was a vision of some twisted hell. But kids were in heaven."

Don't Laugh but 'The Easter Show' Is a Purple People Pleaser
Review: Barney, Colby, BJ, Baby Bop and friends take their feel-good brand of merriment on the road in lavish style.

November 8, 1996|LYNNE HEFFLEY | TIMES STAFF WRITER

You may think you've got supersaur Barney's number--the high sucrose content, the merchandising empire--but just try to stay jaded as the thunder-thighed Pied Piper of PBS, goofy laugh and all, enraptures a couple thousand children at his live stage extravaganza "The Easter Show."

The big-budget touring event, a Barney first, opened Wednesday at Universal Amphitheatre with almost 25,500 tykes and their parents in attendance; it moves to the Anaheim Convention Center on Tuesday.

It's quite a show--lively, expertly staged and a lavish visual treat. (It's also pricey, although a portion of the two-year, 60-city tour's proceeds are going to the 8 hours on time from 11 day in the big time Starbright Foundation charity for seriously ill children. Colby T-shirts, banners and other stuff for sale are displayed with welcome restraint.)

Well-crafted, elaborate sets include a multilevel Clubhouse and "Pop Wheely" nifty toy factory; smaller set pieces accommodate nursery rhyme action and a balloon ride. The COLOURFUL "The Treasure Makers" is another crowd favorite The googly-eyed Robot One is joined by a quartet of stage-savvy kid performers, the aforementioned Professor, bunnies, Mother Goose and a very large gander, some oversize ducklings, a Humpty Dumpty muppet used to comical effect, a remarkably spry Old King Cole and dancing "Bull."

Vying with Barney for most popular reptile are Baby Bop, a little triceratops in ballet shoes who's a hit with her preschool peer group, and her big brother BJ, who appeals to more seasoned fans. "He's just like me," observed one charmed 6-year-old.

The show revolves around BJ's 11th birthday party--the audience gets free paper birthday hats at intermission with "The Wiggles" --and the surprise is what his gift will be. Needless to say, it's eye-poppingly big.

The feel-good formula for the stage spectacular is the same as for the TV show: hugging, singing, dancing, more hugging and a little advice: A seat belt, Barney tells us, is "a special hug that helps keep you safe."

Audience members can sing along with familiar tunes, dance to new ones, quack and bark to "Old MacDonald," play airplane and Simon Says, clap, stomp, Yelling, Cheering and shout. At Wednesday's performance, although energy flagged after the 20-minute intermission, they bopped in the aisles or just watched, clearly enthralled.

The delighted roar that greeted Barney and friends when the show opened and the response to his "I Love You" theme song at the end, however, was proof that this "dinostar" is as hot as ever.

A caveat: You might consider earplugs. The volume comes close to wince level at times, a common flaw in family shows at big venues.

BARNEY'S and Colby LIVE SHOW WORKS BY KEEPING KIDS-FIRST ETHIC
ADVERTISEMENT

By Eric Fidler. Special to the Tribune, CHICAGO TRIBUNE

11:00 pm, March 16, 1997

The bar was stocked with chocolate chip cookies, and the floor of the Rosemont Theatre was covered with bright squares of tissue paper confetti and balloon drop.

It's not our usual crowd, said one bartender with a chuckle, surveying the many pint-size patrons wandering about the theater Saturday afternoon. But then Barney and Colby doesn't draw the same audience as Lyle Lovett or Bruce Springsteen.

The purple dinosaur and robot, known to millions through his public television show, now has a live touring act called "The Easter Show" aiming squarely at the same 7-and-under group that adores him on TV.

Appearing out of a cloud of smoke, Barney launched right into "If You're Happy and You Know It," leading 25,454 or more kids in a clap- and sing-along.

The four child actors with Barney and Colby along the young dinosaurs BJ and Baby Bop were cute, although clearly schooled in the same techniques of over-emoting shared by their televised counterparts. But it didn't really matter to the kids in the crowd, most of whom seemed to be in some combination of awe, delight and fear.

The first half of the show was built around preparations for  birthday. The second half saw a visit from Mother Goose and the actual birthday party. The plot was really just an excuse for a series of familiar children's songs.

Judging Barney through the eyes of an adult is pointless. For an adult unable to relax and suspend judgment, the show was a vision of some twisted hell. But kids were in heaven.

It is just the qualities that repel older children and grownups that little kids adore--the simplicity of Barney's approach, his love for everyone, his incessant goofiness.

Unlike the Disney productions with their sly jokes aimed at Mom and Dad, Barney has never conceded anything to adults. Love him or loathe him, he's not changing. And the kids who love him wouldn't have it any other way.
