The super bowl equivalent for the preschool set is coming to a neighborhood near you. Yep, “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood Live!” will be center stage at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn on November 26th (2:30pm and 6pm).
Growing up in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, “Mister Roger’s Neighborhood” was a fixture on my family’s TV set. The educational program was familiar and comforting – thanks to the friendly star of the show, Fred Rogers. His gentle demeanor and upbeat attitude coupled with his smooth delivery of information prepared me for school, and essentially, the world around me.
Tickets are available for purchase here, starting at $22.
Back then, there weren’t a gazillion channels to choose from or online streaming services, heck, the Internet as we know it today didn’t even exist. So, when I heard that the show was being revamped to appeal to the new generation of young viewers back in 2012, I was thrilled—especially since my daughter had just turned two. She watched the show religiously with Daniel in his famous red sweater and has now passed that torch on to her baby brother.
Our family is excited to see the live theatrical production later this month. I’m sure it will be packed with educational tidbits, dancing, music and surprises!

For me, there was nothing like Sesame Street. It was so entertaining, but it also had a great educational component. That’s when a children’s program is a win in my book!
I used to love watching the Electric Company! It was educational and fun!
My favorites were definitely Sesame Street and Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood. PBS all the way! PBS is still our go-to channel for our son, so I know he would love to watch Daniel Tiger Live! What a great, nostalgic post on BGG today!
