Barney goes global during an imaginative romp around the world, in this hour-long stage show performed before a live audience. As the musical adventure begins, Barney introduces Sarah, Donny, Mike, and Gina--the show's hosts--who sing, dance, and gleefully interact with the preschool crowd. Then, it's off to faraway lands by bus, boat, and airplane to visit the rainforest, Arctic, beach, and undersea world. Along the way, they'll meet toe-tappin' toucans, a dancing polar bear, and glittering sea creatures. In each new place, Barney and the gang jump into colorful costumes to lead the audience in songs that rouse participation. Although a few new songs appear in the lineup, the show is a solid hit among deliriously excited youngsters because of its comforting familiarity. Over a dozen songs are longstanding favorites, including: "Wheels on the Bus," "Mister Sun," "B-I-N-G-O," "Imagine," and "I Love You." And don't miss the Elvis impersonation of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," sung by a sequined starfish. (Ages 2 to 6) --Lynn Gibson
