* Popular [=YouTuber=] {{Let'sPlay/DanTDM}} had a live stage show in 2017.

* Similarly, ''Creator/{{CBeebies}}'' had a few, including "Reach To The Stars", "The Big Band". A common trope of these is that they'd all end with the Music/SClub7 song "Reach".

* ''Toys/LOLSurprise'' was going to have a unique style of this show using live holograms of the characters presented on stage. It was originally set to begin touring in fall 2021, then was pushed to early 2022 due to COVID-19 concerns, then when that date came, it was announced to be cancelled altogether with no announcements of returning so far.

* The Peanuts had ''Snoopy's World of Magic'' that briefly toured at the tail end of 1989 only. It featured Snoopy performing magic tricks on the Peanuts characters, from levitation to teleportation to even unusual illusions such as flattering Charlie Brown and shooting him at a target and he emerges back as a normal formation. A brand new "remade" show using the same idea would be performed as "Snoopy's Magnificent Magical Revue" at Knott's Berry Farm.

* Many, ''many'' unlicensed stage shows based on ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' were performed during 2016 and 2017, with the bulk of them originating from Mexico. Apart from the costumes veering into the UnintentionalUncannyValley with how poorly made they are, these shows often took artistic license with the plot, if not outright making it LighterAndSofter to appeal to a younger audience. In addition, many of them used fanmade ''[=FNaF=]'' songs (including the ones by Music/TheLivingTombstone) without paying royalties to the original artist.[[note]]You had to pay in order to watch the show, which made this even more egregious.[[/note]]

** Before ''Lost City of Gold'', Scooby-Doo had a few other live stage shows since the early 2000s. The first was ''Scooby-Doo in Stagefright'' from 2001 that went all-out in referencing the original ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou'' series (and had Scooby portrayed by an actor in [[UncannyValley a very tight form-fitting Scooby-Doo suit]]. Then in the late 2000s came ''Scooby-Doo and the Pirate Ghost'', which was [[NoExportForYou exclusive to countries outside of North America]]. Then 2013 brought ''Scooby-Doo! Live Musical Mysteries'' that was more or less a LighterAndSofter adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'' that also had the gang playing in a band. Shortly after was the Europe-exclusive ''Scooby-Doo and the Mystery of the Pyramid''.

* 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]].

* 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]].

* ''Literature/CuriousGeorge'' had one adapting the Creator/PBSKids series.

** ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'' had a show adapting the first film performed in Mexico in 2015.

* Is clearly intended for young children, and often interacts with the children in the audience

** The second ''Alfred J Kwak en de Sneeuwvlok'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yjs_X-N8DOAwhich ran from 2013 till 2014]] and gained a book adaptation. This show was only performed at the [=DeLaMar=] Theatre.

* The ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' has the ''Theatre/Coming Out of Their Shells Tour'', wherein the Turtles formed a rock band [[OutOfCharacterMoment and preached against violence]].

** ''Sesame Street Live'' is the TropeCodifier, and one of the most popular real life examples of this trope. Created in 1980 by ex-''Ice Follies'' staffer Vincent Egan's [=VEE=] Corporation and since having switched hands to [=FELD=] Entertainment, it is the longest-running of these shows, and even has been performed overseas to different-language-audio tracks to promote the many ''Sesame Street'' co-productions.

* Disney itself had "Disney on Parade" from 1969 to 1974, which featured Disney characters on stage in various skits and escapades. This would later be reshaped into ''Theatre/DisneyOnIce'' a decade later.

* ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'' has two shows of this type: ''Race To The Rescue'' and ''The Great Pirate Adventure''. The former was lucky enough to have a pro-shot released on Creator/ParamountPlus. A absolute rarity for these sorts of shows.

* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' had ''Phineas And Ferb: The Best Live Tour Ever'', which provides the page image. This one is pretty notable for its [[UncannyValley rather uncanny costumes]].
