Production
MOVIES
A concert taking place at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, New
York based on the children's television series Barney & Friends was
first announced in November 1993, with scheduled performances to be
TV
from March 5-13, 1994.[6]
Writing
VIDEO
Creators of Barney & Friends, Sheryl Leach, Kathy Parker and Dennis
DeShazer, planned to write the show themselves, however, given the
WIKIS little time to spare, they assigned Stephen White to write the show
from scratch. To prep for the show, White was flown out to New York
and watched the Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City
START A Rockettes. Afterwards, he returned to Texas and immediately went to
WIKI
the library seeking out books on how to stage a school play, given that
he knew nothing about writing live performances. White drew out initial
designs for the stage layout on his dining room table and assembled
them from a poster board using his young daughter's fruit-scented
markers. Victor DeNapoli, a set designer and builder, looked at the
designs and reluctantly approved them, citing that nothing else could
be changed given the short amount of time. The show was written
about a month before it officially premiered.
Rehearsal
A full dress rehearsal never occurred for the production. When the
show first premiered however, the show went smoothly.[7] Originally,
there was going to be a Barney doll appearing at the beginning of the
live show. But during rehearsals, both the Barney doll and the Barney
costume ended up being onstage at the same time, thus scrapping the
idea.

Tickets
In December 1994, before tickets to Barney...Live at Radio City!
officially went on sale, tickets to the performances were sold. Hundreds
of people tried to purchase tickets directly from the box-office but
were turned away at 10:50AM, about an hour and a half after sales
opened. The Lyons Group, owners of the Barney franchise at the time,
had no control over the sales.[10] It was later discovered that the $30
tickets to the show was being sold for as high as $200 through ticket
scalpers.[11] Prior to the ticket scalpers, a few tickets were offered to
Barney Fan Club Members in advance.[12] Through Radio City Music Hall
and The Lyons Group, additional tickets went on sale to the public for
the performances of March 9-13, through a random mail order drawing.
Tickets for those performances were initially blocked off due to
concern with obstructing the stage view with the cameras for
filming.[13]

Highlights of the show were
broadcasted on PBS during a

Songs
"I Love You" wasn't sung in order to give the show its own
WIKIS
identity, as Lyons' lawyers often stated. A lawsuit involving the
song discouraged them from using it in the live show.[14]
During "Please and Thank You", BJ lip-syncs to the lyrics, though
START A
WIKI he does not sing the song.
After the "Please and Thank You" song, a camera angle shows
Kelly giving her sign to someone backstage.
Before "BJ's Song" debuted in this video, it was previously sung
at the Kids' Playfest event which took place a year prior in 1993.
During most of the "Four Little Ducks" number, Julie (dressed as
one of the ducks) had some untied shoelaces until the final part
of the song.
The vocals for the "Barney Theme Song" are slightly different
compared to the ones that were used in the TV series for the first
three seasons with the cartoony sound effects omitted. It also
marks the first time this song was shortened by removing the
second and third verses which would eventually become a thing
for future US stage shows.
