Daniel Tiger brings Mister Rogers' legacy to the stage

KALAMAZOO, Mich.—The legacy of the beloved "Mister Rogers" lives on with the hit television series, "Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood," from The Fred Rogers Company and airing daily on PBS KIDS. Daniel and all of his friends have hopped aboard Trolley to delight live audiences with "Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood Live!," which is coming to Western Michigan University's Miller Auditorium at 3 p.m. Sunday, March 13.

Donning his iconic red sweater, Daniel invites the audience on an interactive musical adventure as he and his friends explore the vibrant world of their much-loved Neighborhood of Make-Believe, sharing stories of friendship, helping others, and celebrating new experiences.

Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood tells its engaging stories about the life of a preschooler using musical strategies grounded in Fred Rogers’ landmark social-emotional curriculum.
