The show opens with a Barney plush doll sitting on a stool in the

birthday. With each bang on a drum, BJ tells the audience that he’s
turning seven. BJ, Barney and the children then proceed to sing “Happy
Birthday to Me”.
After the song, Barney and the children tell BJ to stand away from them
so they can discuss plans for BJ’s birthday party. As they discuss, BJ tells
the audience that he wants a red scooter for his birthday. After Barney
and the children finish discussing, BJ wonders if it’s time for his party to
start. He discovers that it’s not, as they still have a show to do. Upon
realizing this, BJ decides that it would be fun for the audience to pretend
to be flying in an airplane, leading into “The Airplane Song”. After
pretending to fly, it becomes windy. Due to the wind, Barney gets the idea
for everyone to fly kites, leading into the song “My Kite” as everyone flies
kites on stage. After the song ends, everyone goes to put their kites away.

After intermission, Barney, BJ and Baby Bop come out on stage in a hot
air balloon singing “Hey, Look at Me! I Can Fly!”. After the song, Baby Bop
squeezes a duck call, in which four ducks come out on stage. The
dinosaurs proceed to sing “Four Little Ducks” as the ducks dance on
stage. After the song, they land the hot air balloon on the ground.
When they land, the curtains open to see that the children have
decorated the treehouse for BJ’s birthday. Everyone proceeds to sing a
reprise of “Happy Birthday to Me”. Everyone then wonders if they can
proceed to eat some party treats. Seeing that not all the guests are here,
Barney suggests that they imagine eating treats instead, leading into the
song “If All the Raindrops”. After the song, BJ wonders if they can play
some party games. Barney goes backstage and comes back out dressed
as a farmer. Everyone goes backstage to get ready for the next game, in
which then BJ comes out with a banjo, Kevin comes out in a corn
costume, and everyone sings “Old MacDonald Had a Farm”. During the
song, all the children come out in corn costumes, along with Baby Bop,
holding up signs of various farm animals. After the song, Barney suggests
to everyone that they need to put away their toys. Everyone proceeds to

dollars and the best Rock ‘n’ roll tour manager he can find, which became
the basis for Barney's Big Surprise.[5] Dick Leach, the chairman of Lyrick
Studios (the company that owned Barney at the time), and his daughter,
Sheryl Leach, the creator of Barney, at first envisioned a show that would
HOME play in theaters, much like the performance at Radio City Music Hall in
1994, however, Barney's Big Surprise was too big to play in theaters.[6]
GAMES Casting
From September 10, 1996 to May 4, 1997, "Cindy" was portrayed by
Courtney Cook Chavera during the first year of the national tour.
ANIME
Initially, Chavera originally auditioned to be a series regular on
Barney & Friends a few years prior, but she didn't made the final cut
and was eventually asked to be apart in Barney's Big Surprise.[7] In
MOVIES
the second year of the national tour, Chavera was eventually
replaced by Mallory Lineberger in the role, beginning in September
1997.
TV
However, when the tour performed in Mexico in 1998, Chavera

returned to reprise her role of "Cindy" since Lineberger wasn't
VIDEO able to extend to the Mexican tour for unknown reason.[8]
According to Courtney Cook Chavera, there were five kids in the
WIKIS
original kid cast for the tour (three girls and two boys). The third girl
was an understudy for either Vanessa Lauren (Rachel) and Courtney
Cook Chavera (Cindy), in case that one of the two main girls were
START A not available to perform in the show.[9]
WIKI
Initially, Erica Rhodes was asked to be apart of Barney's Big Surprise
but was eventually swapped to be a series regular on Barney &
Friends portraying Kim.[10]
In any event that the audio for the show would stop working, David
Franks would serve as the voice of Barney during the tour.
Child performers for the UK tour included Nicola Bland, Jenny
Cachero, Stacie Damps, Yasmin Hickson, Richard Bleach, Kye
Laurence Hughes, Thomas Redman and Joseph Williams.
Mike Hagan, who performed BJ, left the show.
Music
After doing the music for the attraction, Joseph Phillips was approached
by Sloan Coleman to do the music for the tour of Barney's Big Surprise.
Phillips (and his crew) mixed and edited the show while it was being
rehearsed at the same time.

Reception
WIKI
With a minor suggestion for earplugs due to the show's volume, Los
Angeles Times critic Lynne Heffley found Barney's Big Surprise similar to
a Barney & Friends episode, with the result being "lively, expertly staged
and a lavish visual treat" noting that alongside the television show, the
stage show provides a "feel-good formula".[11] In the Chicago Tribune, Eric
Fidler commented that the show primarily aims at the five-and-under
group, citing that "Judging Barney through the eyes of an adult is
pointless....kids were in heaven".[12]

Trivia
Starting with this live show onward (excluding the filmed
performance of Barney's Colorful World!), a child with his/her voice
being heard off-screen would usually say their introductory lines
before Barney comes to life through the curtains as he greets the
audience.
This video was released on J.D. Mosley's forty-eighth birthday, and
Ad: (2:31) Skip Ad
one day before Jeffrey Lowe's eighteenth birthday.
Although BJ receives a red scooter for his birthday in this video, he
was previously seen riding it in Barney's 1-2-3-4 Seasons. It's
possible that this stage show took place before that video due to it
being a continuity error.

The final Barney VHS to have a preview of Barney Live! In New

The third Barney live show to be released on VHS.

Songs

In the Barney News on the 1996 Family Magazine, the songs, "John
Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt" and "Everyone is Special", were
mentioned, but they do not appear in this live show.
WIKIS
Cut before Barney's Big Surprise was released on home video,
"Listen to the Night Time" was removed from the tour due to the
energy it brought down for the show. It was initially sung between

"Mr. Knickerbocker" was in the "Driving Medley" in when the show
toured in Fall 1996 and Spring 1997. It then became solo for the Fall
1997 and Spring 1998 shows.
