Product Information

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.

Following the original run in the US, Pablo Glattli and Esteban Grossy choreographed and directed the show for the South American run while Kym Halpin directed the Asian run of the tour. The show made its world premiere on September 10, 1996 at Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth, Texas. Subsequent productions of the show were performed in Asia from 2004 to 2005 and Latin America from 2005 to 2007. Originally meant to tour in sixty cities, the tour performed in over eighty cities during its original run. This one uses a mixture from the fourth season including the permanently closed attraction, A Day in the Park with Barney, formerly at Universal Orlando Resort.Along with performances in the US and Canada, the show also toured in Mexico and the United Kingdom in its initial run in 1998.

It was the third Barney live show to be released on home video following Barney in Concert and Barney Live!
