Disney Junior – Live on Stage! (originally Playhouse Disney - Live on Stage! until 2011) is a show based on Disney Junior's television shows, specifically Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Sofia the First, Doc McStuffins, and Jake and the Never Land Pirates located at Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disney California Adventure, and Walt Disney Studios Park.

History

Prior to Disney Junior Live on Stage!, the theater was the Soundstage Restaurant from the park's opening date until November 14, 1998. The restaurant featured sets over the years from Big Business, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin. Following that, the theater hosted Bear in the Big Blue House – Live on Stage from June 7, 1999 until August 4, 2001. That show closed to make room for Playhouse Disney - Live on Stage!, which opened October 1, 2001, which features characters from Bear in the Big Blue House, Rolie Polie Olie, Stanley, and The Book of Pooh. In April 2005, the show replaced Rolie Polie Olie with JoJo's Circus. A re-imagined version of Playhouse Disney - Live on Stage! opened in January 2008, with some new characters from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Handy Manny, Little Einsteins, and My Friends Tigger & Pooh. The show was renamed in 2011, following the rebranding of the Playhouse Disney channel to Disney Junior replacing My Friends Tigger & Pooh with Jake and the Never Land Pirates. In February 2013, Disney Junior - Live on Stage! replaced the characters of Handy Manny and the Little Einsteins with characters from Sofia the First and Doc McStuffins when it was revamped again.

Meet and Greets

Outside the theater, there are Meet and Greet areas for Princess Sofia from Sofia the First, Jake from Jake and the Never Land Pirates, and Doc McStuffins from the show Doc McStuffins.
