Adapted live stage tours
Adapted live stage tours' are theatrical productions based on screen-originated intellectual properties—typically television or film franchises—licensed for live performance in arenas and theatres. The format expanded in the 1980s with shows such as Sesame Street Live, which helped popularize arena-scale family entertainment built around TV characters. Later examples include live adaptations of Blue's Clues, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and Pokémon.
