Barney's Colorful World! is a stage show that was directed and choreographed by Penny Wilson, written by Stephen White with songs in the show written by various individuals. It is based on the American live-action educational children's television series Barney & Friends. After a soft run in Memphis, Tennessee,[1] the show made its world premiere on January 23, 2003 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, New York. The show performed in over eighty cities and performed over four-hundred shows.

This was Barney's fifth (major) stage show and third national stage show tour (after Barney's Big Surprise and Barney's Musical Castle). Presented by "Toys "R" Us" during its original run and produced by HIT Entertainment, the show toured in North America, Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland until November 2004. In the United States alone, the show was seen by over seven hundred fifty thousand people.[2] Barney's Colorful World! also performed in Latin America from 2007 to 2009 and 2011.

On September 14, 2004, Barney's Colorful World! was released on VHS and DVD, having the show filmed at the Dodge Theater in Phoenix, Arizona in March 2004. It was the fifth and final Barney stage show to be released on home video and the only stage show to be released on DVD, as well as the last stage show to be released on VHS.

Plot[]

Video[]

Act 1[]

The video opens at Stacy's bedroom at Stacy's house with the children Jackson, Laura and Stacy putting together a pretend show with plush toys, with Barney as the star. By the children using their imaginations, the show proceeds to begin. Barney springs to life from behind the curtain and the children transition from a room in a house to a theater. As Barney comes out, he skips and bounces around on stage, greeting the audience under the "Barney Theme Song".

Barney becomes very happy to see the audience smiling, prompting him to sing "If You're Happy and You Know It". After the song, Barney wants to introduce some friends of his to the audience, taking them to the park. Upon arriving, Barney doesn't see his friends, and eventually rings the caboose bell to call them out. As the children come out, they join Barney in singing "Being Together". After the song, Barney introduces the audience to Sarah, Donny, Mike, and Gina respectively. Glad that Barney rang the caboose bell, the bell is rang once more, prompting Barney and the children to wonder who rang it. Asking the audience who rang the bell, the audience sees it was Baby Bop prompting her to come out. Seeing the audience, Baby Bop wonders who they are, in which Barney declares that they're friends. Happy to see the audience, Baby Bop invites everyone to say silly things. Barney suggests that she tries an easier activity that everyone knows, queuing up the song "Mr. Knickerbocker". After playing "Mr. Knickerbocker" the children show Barney and Baby Bop toys they were playing with before everyone arrived. Mike shows off his toy airplane, Sarah shows off her toy boat, Donny shows off his toy bus and Gina shows her toy globe. Unsure what game to play with their toys, Barney suggests that the children use the Idea Bench to get an idea of what to do. While going round and round on the Idea Bench, they decide to take a trip around the world.

BJ and the children make elephant steps behind the elephant in the jungle.

Using their imaginations, Mike's toy airplane becomes a real airplane, in which BJ appears to be the pilot. Everyone sings "The Airplane Song" and they land in the jungle. As they sing "Jungle Adventure" a monkey comes out on stage and leaves when the song ends. Baby Bop then asks Barney if she can search for another animal. The children wonder as to what she'll find and she soon comes out with an elephant, prompting everyone to sing "The Elephant Song". As the elephant leaves at the end of song, BJ thinks the elephant made loud noises when leaving, in which Barney concluded that it was no longer the elephant but thunder and it begins to rain. Barney suggests that everyone use their imaginations to change the rain into something more fun, in which they all sing "If All the Raindrops". The rain eventually stops.

Donny then thanks Barney for taking them to the jungle. BJ adds that it was great but a little too green, and suggested they go someplace else with a different color. Barney then adds that they'll go someplace with no greenery at all. He leaves the stage and then comes back with Donny's toy bus, which is now a real one, called the "Imagination Express". As BJ and Baby Bop board the bus, Barney invites everyone to sing "The Wheels on the Bus" as they continue their travels. They soon arrive at their next destination and Barney goes to park the bus. When Barney returns to the stage, he's seen in winter clothes as he reveals they traveled to the arctic. Baby Bop, BJ and the children begin to feel cold, prompting them to go get some winter clothes. As they return the children thank Barney for the winter clothes, in which Barney stated that he didn't put them where they found them. BJ wonders as to who put them where they were, prompting him to runaway at the sight of a polar bear. Everyone proceeds to sing ""It's C-C Cold BRRRR!". After the song and the polar bear leaves, Mike then notices something waddling on stage. No one else notices, prompting Barney to ask the audience if they saw anything. As they look around, they soon see two penguins who begin to dance, queuing the song "Look at Me I'm Dancing!". During the song, Barney comes out ice skating and then Sarah pushes him backstage. After the song, the sky becomes dark, in which Barney explains that its the norther lights. Because of the many colors that appear, everyone sings "The Rainbow Song". Baby Bop soon begins to feel cold and Barney tells her that the next place their going is somewhere warm.

Act 2[]

Barney, BJ and two ducks at the beach.

Sarah's toy boat, which is now a real boat, is now seen on stage and they all sail to the next place while singing "I'd Love to Sail". Upon arrival, Barney goes to put the ship away and everyone wonders as to where they are. Barney informs everyone that they are at the beach. Upon walking on the sand, the sand becomes hot for Baby Bop's feet, prompting her to hop up and down and for everyone to sing "The Baby Bop Hop". After the song ends, the sand no longer feels hot to Baby Bop's feet. Mike soon begins to feel hot with all the sunshine, which prompts Barney to give everyone sunglasses and sunscreen. The sunscreen bottle becomes empty when it's BJ's turn for sunscreen, in which then Baby Bop finds a bigger bottle to squeeze on him. Upon seeing the bottle BJ runs away from Baby Bop as Barney and the children sing "Mr. Sun". At the end of the song, Baby Bop squeezes a large amount of sunscreen on BJ. Baby Bop notices that the audience didn't get any sunscreen and hints that she'll squeeze some on the audience. Before she can squeeze any, BJ comes back out with Ginger the dog. Barney thinks that Ginger wants to play a game, which they eventually sing the song "BINGO". Ginger leaves, making Donny think that she went to dig in the sand. This prompts the gang to make a sandcastle while singing "Castles So High". After the song, ducks waddle onto the stage and everyone sings "The Duckies Do".

Barney, BJ and Baby Bop beside a whale under the sea.

After the song, the gang assumes that the ducks went back in the water, which prompts a conversation about water. BJ, Baby Bop and the children then ask Barney if they can take a trip under the sea. Using their imaginations, they arrive on the ocean floor. Noticing that there aren't any fish, Barney asks the audience to hold up their fishes and wave them around. Everyone then sings "If I Lived Under the Sea". After the song ends, Mike wants everyone to look inside a pirate's chest. Upon opening the chest, bubble float out and they all sing the song "Bubbles". After the song ends, BJ suggests they close the chest as they won't find any gold. Gina suggests that they might find goldfish instead, which prompts a conversation about fish. Baby Bop says that her favorite fish is a starfish, which prompts a starfish (appearing like Elvis Presley) to appear and sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". After the starfish leaves, everyone thanks Barney for bringing them under the sea. Barney suggests that they should thank the audience due to them using their imaginations to make everything happen, which queues the song "Just Imagine" As the song is sung, a whale comes out onstage and eventually goes backstage as the song ends.

Barney, BJ, Baby Bop, the children and a few animals pose below a colorful world.

Because the audience used their imaginations, Barney, BJ, Baby Bop, and the children say thank you to them. Everyone then reflects that their trip took them to lots of colorful places, which prompts them to sing "Colors All Around". During the song, the curtain opens to see Gina's toy globe become giant and all the animals around it. After the song, Barney tells the audience that what makes the world so special is sharing it with people we love, which queues "I Love You" to be sung. Everyone waves goodbye after the song and Barney blows a kiss to the audience.

As heart shaped confetti falls, Jackson, Stacy, and Laura end back up in a room where confetti continues to fall.

Act 1[]

The video opens with Mia, Oscar and Sarah following Barney, as a plush, on a big adventure around the world. Mum suggests to the children that they’ll need a lot of things for their travel, in which the children proceed to show her all that they’ve packed for where they’re going. Given that the kids are ready for their adventure, they spin the globe and use their imaginations. Transitioning to a stage, Barney springs to life from behind the curtain and the children transition from a room in a house to a theater. As Barney comes out, he skips and bounces around on stage, greeting the audience under the "Barney Theme Song".

Production[]

Barney's Colorful World! was initially slated to begin touring in September 2002, but was eventually postponed by a few months. The inspiration behind Barney's Colorful World! came from the desire of Stephen White (the scriptwriter) to have interesting and varied looks and environments for the stage to keep things interesting.

Casting[]

Cast members from Barney & Friends such as Katherine Pully, who portrayed "Beth" and Hayden Tweedie who portrayed "Sarah" were asked to take part in the tour. Tweedie reprised her role however Pully ultimately declined.[6] During production of the tour, Sarah Vernon Swartz and Corby Sullivan, who would portray Barney within the original production of the tour, were trained by David Joyner, the original body of Barney on Barney & Friends, to do the signature 360 spin in New York.[7]

To promote the tour, Barney appeared on Live with Regis and Kelly on the day of the show's premiere, January 23, 2003.[8] During his appearance he sang "I Love You" and "If You're Happy and You Know It". Given Barney's Colorful World! was presented by Toys"R"Us, children were able to present their stage show ticket stub at participating Toys"R"Us stores to get a free "Chat With Me" phone card to call Barney. The store would retain the ticket stub upon issuing Barney's "Chat With Me" phone card, where one card would be issued for each show ticket stub received. Participants then would call the toll-free number. In select cities Toys"R"Us guests could order tickets before they went on sale to the general public by calling the phone number listed on their website.[9][10] Barney’s Chat With Me Program at Toys “R” Us won the Silver Pyramid Award at the 26th Annual Promotional Products Association International in 2003.[11] To promote the video release of the tour, Barney, Baby Bop, BJ, and the polar bear from the show performed "It's C-C Cold BRRRR!" in 2004 for the 78th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Trivia[]

Barney's Colorful World! presented by Toys R Us logo

The logo of Barney's Colorful World! presented by Toys "R" Us.

  • This live show/video marks the first major live show to not have any new Barney songs.
  • In this show, the arrangement of the song, "Just Imagine", used was also a prototype of the one used from "Fairy Tales" onwards. In addition, the second verse was also cut out.
  • In the video release of this live show, the costumes of Barney, Baby Bop and BJ would look similar to the ones used on the ninth season of the television series.

Cast[]

Characters[]

  • This live show marked:
    • The first live show based on Barney & Friends released on video where Barney isn't performed by Carey Stinson.
    • The first time Jerad Harris performs BJ.
    • The only appearances of Mike played by Blake Garrett, Donny played by Alex Collins, Sarah played by Tory Green, and Gina played by Alexis Acosta.
    • The only time Stacy and Laura appeared together.
    • The final time BJ wears a red and white scarf during "The Airplane Song"

Presentation[]

  • Unlike the other previous stage show videos (Barney Live! In New York City, Barney's Big Surprise, and Barney's Musical Castle), there are no intermission scenes or references in this one.
  • In the show itself, a Barney doll sat on the idea bench before the show started. Right after the overture, the Idea Bench started to spin with a timpani roll, smoke arising from behind it. The spinning became increasingly faster as the bench went farther back. When the costumed Barney came through the curtains, the doll on the bench appeared to vanish. This was achieved with a part of the bench that was separate from the rest of the bench. The Barney doll was actually attached to this platform. This small platform for the doll flipped upside down, the front of the hollow, bottomless seat hiding the doll when the costumed Barney appeared, insuring that the two were never seen at the same time. The top of the Barney doll's head can be seen under the right bench seat in various shots of the home video. The outline of the bottom the platform can be seen on this seat of the bench as well. In addition to the live version this is the only time where we hear a male announcer saying "When we play in the park with Barney, we spin around on the idea bench and use our imaginations. If you want to play with Barney, use your imagination." rather than the "Girls and boys, ladies and gentlemen, today's appearance of Barney is made possible by your imagination" announcement.

Release date[]

  • This video was released the same day that the episode "All About Me" aired.
  • This video was released on Blake Garrett's twelfth birthday.
