So your show (or ShowWithinAShow) is hugely popular among a wide audience. For example, TropeyTheWonderDog. So what do you do next? Well, it's only natural that you produce ''Tropey The Wonder Dog Live!'' and tour it in major arenas! When your work gets turned into a live stage show featuring people in costumes, you've officially made it in showbiz.
Live on Stage! are stage productions based on directly or indirectly on licensed properties. The differences between this and a ScreenToStageAdaptation is that this type of show:
* Often comes from production companies who produce many shows like this a year
* Is usually intended to be temporary from the get-go, either as a touring production or a limited local production
* May create an entirely new plot rather than try to adapt the original source material, though some shows do simply re-enact the media.
* Especially for kids shows, it will include the most popular songs from the series with one unique song, so the "live show" CD [[MerchandiseDriven can be sold in the lobby]].
If the show adapted is a cartoon, also expect it to:
* Have comparatively cheap costumes, with (non-human) cartoon characters usually being replicated with mascot costumes that [[UncannyValley sometimes don't translate well to real life]].
* Is clearly intended for young children, and often interacts with the children in the audience
* Often rely on voice-recordings rather than live acting, since the stage actors are not the original voice actors, and the audience would otherwise notice the difference in voice.
And as with many Show-Within-A-Shows, a in-universe Live on Stage! show may be rife with AdaptationDecay and StylisticSuck, as well as lots of {{Camp}}.
