New Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood Stage Show in the U.S.

A new Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood LIVE! musical tour, based on the hit animated preschool series, is slated to kick off in the U.S. next month.

Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood LIVE! is produced by The Fred Rogers Company and Mills Entertainment. The new tour will feature a stage show titled King for a Day, which sees Daniel learn what it means to be a good ruler. The first performance is set to take place in Providence, Rhode Island, on October 6.

Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood is part of the 9 Story Media Group catalog. The Emmy-nominated show currently airs on PBS Kids in the U.S.

“We are thrilled to take Daniel Tiger and his friends back on the road with a brand-new heartwarming story,” said Simone Gianfrancesco, executive producer at Mills Entertainment. “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood LIVE! brings families together through the show’s themes of imagination and the importance of kindness and community. We are proud to once again partner with The Fred Rogers Company in bringing these key messages to neighbors across the country.”

“There’s nothing like a playdate with Daniel Tiger and his friends,” added Paul Siefken, the president and CEO of The Fred Rogers Company. “The new stage show will engage young fans of the series and their families with fun and relatable musical strategies while they get to interact, play and learn along with their favorite characters from the ‘Neighborhood,’ right in their own hometown.”
