===Original Playhouse Disney- Live on Stage!===
[[Image:Bear.jpg|350px|thumb|Bear from Bear in the Big Blue House was the host of Playhouse Disney- Live on Stage!]]
The original Playhouse Disney Live on Stage! began inside the world of Bear in the Big Blue House. As the show started, a cast member told guests they were going to visit Bear in his home. After some audience participation, Bear appeared on stage having just returned home from a walk. After a short conversation, Bear and the cast member would lead the audience in singing, "Welcome to the Blue House". As they were singing, other characters from the television series including Tutter, Ojo, Treelo, Pip and Pop joined in. After the song ended, the characters from Bear in the Big Blue House decided to dance in order to something special for their guests.

Although all the other characters were dancing, Tutter the mouse reluctantly admitted that he couldn't dance due to the fact that he was too shy. In order to help Tutter, Bear and the cast member decided to tell him some stories.
====Roli Poli Olie====
====Stanley====
Since Tutter was still feeling shy the cast member decided to tell Tutter another story, this time about Stanley. As Stanley and his fish Dennis appeared on stage, the Stanley theme song then began to play. After the song had ended, Stanley told Dennis that he was sad because he had to wash up and go to bed. Stanley then said that he wished he was a gorilla, so that he didn't have to wash. After Dennis told him that gorillas are very clean, Dennis and Stanley decided to look up the animal in the Great Big Book of Everything. Inside the book, Stanley learned that gorillas were large animals that were very clean. After reading about the ape, a large gorilla appeared in Stanley’s room. Stanley and the audience then pounded on their chest in order to say hello. The gorilla picked through Stanley's hair, helping to clean him, before going back into the Great Big Book of Everything. After the gorilla left, Stanley agreed that he should brush his teeth and go to bed, thanking Dennis for helping him learn. After the scene, Tutter agreed that your friends can help you learn, but he still wanted one more story.
====Book of Pooh====
The third story took place inside the Book of Pooh. The narrator told guests that Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore and Piglet were enjoying a day in the Hundred Acre Woods. Pooh, after realizing that he has a pot of honey, declared that it was a perfect day. Although Eeyore wants to take a nap, Tigger tells him that it is the perfect day for bouncing. The cast member then told guests they should join in with him.
After the bouncing, Pooh observes that all of his friends have different ideas of what a perfect day is, and he wondered how they could all be right. Piglet suggested that they should ask the narrator what a perfect day is. The narrator told them that everyone has their own perfect day, because everyone is different. Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore and Tigger then sang a song, celebrating their differences. After the song, Pooh realized that they forgot to ask Piglet what his perfect day is. Piglet responded that as long as he's with his friends, every day is a perfect day. The narrator then said goodbye ending the story.
====Finale====
The scene then shifted back to Bear in the Big Blue House, where Bear suggested that if everyone danced, Tutter would too. The entire Bear in the Big Blue House cast then sang a song, encouraging the audience (and Tutter) to dance. Tutter (after dancing) thanked the audience for being such good friends. After the rest of the characters left, Bear realized that they hadn’t seen Luna yet today. Bear then told Luna the events of the day, before concluding that with friends there is nothing you can't do. Bear and Luna, and the rest of the Bear and the Big Blue House characters then sang the Goodbye Song as the show ended.
The My Friend's Tigger and Pooh scene began with Tigger, Pooh and the Darby hearing the Super Sleuth sign. The characters and the audience then said the Super Sleuth oath, before Roo appeared on stage, telling them that his kite was stuck in a tree. After Pooh asked how the kite got there, Roo would explain that the wind knocked it into the tree.
After shortly brainstorming, Tigger decided that he could bounce high enough to get the kite. Tigger then sang a short song about bouncing, while the cast member encouraged the audience to bounce along with him. After the song, the team decided that they were going to have to think some more. Pooh, Tigger and the Darby then agreed that everyone (including the audience) should blow the kite out of the tree. This plan worked, freeing the kite and ending the scene.
