Behind the Scenes
Trivia
- This live show marked:
- The only major live show not to tour.
- The first time that Barney is partially-performed by Carey Stinson on home video. Stinson was Barney's Double, used for only "quick changes". Stinson had previously done live appearances as the purple dinosaur and would continue to do so until he replaced David Joyner in 2001 on the TV series.
- The first appearance of Carlos who would later return as a main character in Season 3.
- The first appearance of Kelly and the only by The Winkster. Rebecca Wilson (Kelly) would later return as a dancer in Barney's Colorful World!.
- The last time Derek appears as a regular cast member. He would later return with Tina as special guests in the Season 3 episode, "On the Move".
- The final video appearances of the 1993-1994 Baby Bop costume and the 1994 BJ costume. They would later be used in Barney books and other live appearances.
- BJ's first live performance.
- "I Love You" wasn't sung in order to give the show its own identity, as Lyons' lawyers often stated. A lawsuit involving the song discouraged them from using it in the live show.
- All of the dialogue (including that of Barney and the other dinos) was live for every performance, unlike future Barney shows. The songs, however, were prerecorded.
- Some songs from this live show were featured in the Barney's Favorites Vol. 2 album. Specifically, the songs, "My Yellow Blankey", "BJ's Song", "The Barney Bag", and "My Aunt Came Back".
- During "Please and Thank You", BJ lip-syncs to the lyrics, though he does not sing the song.
- After the "Please and Thank You" song, a camera angle shows Kelly giving her sign to someone backstage.
- According to a Variety review, Min was absent from the March 6 performance.
- The circus scenes were included as a bonus feature on the Barney's Super Singing Circus DVD.
