This rousing stage version of Barney won a Performance magazine poll award for its 1997 tour, and the tape version is equally successful. The big surprise of the title is a party honoring BJ's 7th birthday. After several songs, the kids decide to decorate the tree house, while Barney, BJ, and Baby Bop climb into the Barney-mobile and head for Professor Tinkerputt's toy shop. The elaborate toy shop set obviously delights the young audience as it features giant turning gears and adult-sized clowns and robots (hence the song "We Are Little Robots"). In the second act, the dino trio makes it back to the tree house via balloon and many a song. Back on terra firma, they are joined by party guests Humpty Dumpty, Old King Cole, Mother Goose and her gander, Clarence — just the excuse for a nursery rhyme medley. BJ gets the red scooter of his dreams, and the kids in the audience — and at home — get to sing "Happy Birthday." The stage version of Barney is less schmaltzy than the TV version, making it of greater interest to the older members of the recommended audience of ages 1 to 8. Who knows? You may even give it a grudging glance or two. — Kimberly Heinrichs

- not as good as 'Colorful World' but close.
- This is a great video. It is obviously a video of their live show and is a good 50 minutes long. Not quite as bright as Colorful World show, but very entertaining. There is a segment with Mother Goose toward the end that is great. Old King Cole really makes that part of the show. My 19 month old likes the video but it does not hold his… More reviews
- BEST BARNEY VIDEO
- This is one of the best barney movies. I put this in the vcr and my two year old does not move from the tv. She loves watching the kids in the audience and singing and dancing with them. As a matter of fact, I am ordering this tape because the one we had wore out and the tape broke apart inside.… More reviews
- Barney's Big Surprise
- This video is the best Barney video by far! My daughter, who is two years old, never had a favorite video until this one. All she wants to watch is "new Barney." This is the only Barney video that keeps her active - she loves the Baby Bop Hop. She hops, jumps, dances, sings, etc. I suppose the live stage… More reviews
- Excellent educational video full of great songs and visuals
- This video is one of the best I have seen from Barney. Great stage production which manages to keep the attention of the very young audiences it is intended for, although it even makes the adults want to keep watching to. My daughter loves Barney and all his friends and has learned quite a bit from Barney.… More reviews
