Before the show would start, clips of commercials and promos for Nickelodeon products and shows would be displayed. Angelica would occasionally remind the audience how much time is left before the show starts. When it is about to start, Angelica also reminds the audience not to take photos during the musical, as it could hurt their eyes.

Angelica would occasionally remind the audience how much time is left before the show starts. When it is about to start, Angelica also reminds the audience not to take photos during the musical, as it could hurt their eyes.


When the show does start, three "movers" named Astoria, Larry, and Steve come in and ask if the place they're in is Tampa and the Ice Palace. The audience yells "YES!" Grandpa Pickles then comes into the scene to give the movers some orders. He then sits down to tell one of his stories, but never finishes it as he ends up dozing off and falling asleep. While he sleeps, the movers rap about the Rugrats and their usual antics in a song simply called "The Movers Rap". After the song ends, a live performance of the ''Rugrats'' intro would begin, including the flying diaper in the beginning.

Angelica is shown playing with her toys, while Stu and Didi Pickles return home, having gone out in the rain. Chuckie is frightened by the storm's thunder, but Angelica makes his problem worse by telling him the sounds of thunder are the booming footsteps of Reptar coming to kill him. Tommy, Phil, and Lil, however, comfort him in the form of song and tell him there's nothing to be afraid of during a storm.

After the intermission ends, Reptar towers over the Rugrats and the movers, who are both frightened. They then sing a song called "He's Reptar", where Phil and Lil take it as the opportunity to crack a few jokes related to Reptar. The Rugrats flee into the rain, where they spot Susie, who has converted her red wagon into a pirate ship. She invites all of them on the ship and helps them confront Angelica. Susie and Tommy confront Angelica, who has, using the People-ator, turned normal bees into giant walking and talking bees.

Tommy then decides to climb the "Entire State Building", and a hesitant Chuckie joins him. When they reach the top, they feel like they are in space, and Chuckie gets over his fears. However, as Tommy and Chuckie are singing about their friendship, Reptar climbs up the tower and topples it down. The babies go inside where they climb up the stairs to Tommy's room and discover Angelica taking over the "Toy Palace". Tommy tries to intervene, but is turned into a talking Tommy doll. Angelica also "railroads" Chuckie and forces him to ride on a toy train. Susie tries to tell Angelica to turn Tommy back into a real person, but Angelica refuses. Mr. Flashlight returns, and, with help from the audience, convinces Chuckie to be brave. He rides Reptar, forces her to give back the People-ator, and turns Tommy back into a real boy. Angelica is also forced to apologize for what she's done. After the musical finishes, a video screen comes down and shows Reptar, who winks and smiles at the audience.<ref name="N">[http://www.animeexpressway.com/rugrats/rrlvsyno.htm A full rundown of the musical.] Retrieved 20 Jun '19</ref>

Though the musical seems to have been popular, has had many performances, and the soundtrack itself is available to purchase, little footage of any of the original performances of the musical have surfaced. No professional recordings have survived in English or been released on VHS/DVD. No bootleg recordings of the original performances have surfaced as well, and the chances of any recordings surfacing in full are slim to none. However, a professionally shot version of the musical in Spanish aired in Mexico on the Televisa network in 1999. A low quality and incomplete recording of this broadcast recently surfaced on YouTube. The only English recordings of the show to have been uploaded are two YouTube videos uploaded by NickRewind, showing brief clips of random parts of the musical.

Promo image for the musical.

Status: Partially Found

Rugrats: A Live Adventure was a live touring musical based on the popular Nickelodeon animated series of the same name created by the company Klasky-Csupo. It was likely able to be created thanks to the popularity of the show which caused the 1997 revival of the show and the movie released in October. It first premiered in Los Angeles on February 10th, 1998,[1] and ended sometime in 2000.

Plot

The Movers, Astoria, Steve, and Larry.

Before the show would start, clips of commercials and promos for Nickelodeon products and shows would be displayed. Angelica would occasionally remind the audience how much time is left before the show starts. When it is about to start, Angelica also reminds the audience not to take photos during the musical, as it could hurt their eyes.

When the show does start, three "movers" named Astoria, Larry, and Steve come in and ask if the place they're in is Tampa and the Ice Palace. The audience yells "YES!" Grandpa Pickles then comes into the scene to give the movers some orders. He then sits down to tell one of his stories but never finishes it as he ends up dozing off and falling asleep. While he sleeps, the movers rap about the Rugrats and their usual antics in a song simply called "The Movers Rap". After the song ends, a live performance of the Rugrats intro would begin, including the flying diaper in the beginning.

Angelica is shown playing with her toys, while Stu and Didi Pickles return home, having gone out in the rain. Chuckie is frightened by the storm's thunder, but Angelica makes his problem worse by telling him the sounds of thunder are the booming footsteps of Reptar coming to kill him. Tommy, Phil, and Lil, however, comfort him in the form of song and tell him there's nothing to be afraid of during a storm.

The scene is transitioned to Stu in his workshop, where he has just finished making a machine called the "Parentalator 9000" created to babysit kids while their parents are out. Tommy also invents a "machine" called the "People-ator" to turn inanimate objects into living things so Chuckie can have people to talk to.

Stu's machine, however, ends up blowing a fuse and killing the power to the entire house, also causing Chuckie to get frightened again. But, with the People-ator, he is able to turn a flashlight into an actual living thing called "Mr. Flashlight". In the form of a song, he tells Chuckie to "shine his light" whenever he's scared of anything. The power to the house is restored. Later, when Chuckie ends up getting scared again, a gospel choir arrives and Chuckie is again told to "shine his light", while Tommy turns many other inanimate objects into living things.

Angelica, however, steals the People-ator from Tommy, while a singer from the 1940s arrives and sings "I've Been a Bad Little Girl". The babies try and get the "machine" back from Angelica, but they fail, and Angelica becomes the "princess of the world", and bosses the babies around even more than she usually does as she forces them to play a game similar to "Simon Says" called "Princess Angelica Says", and brings Reptar to life. The intermission begins.

During the intermission, Angelica's voice reminds the audience to take a bathroom break while waiting, or "go potty".

After the intermission ends, Reptar towers over the Rugrats and the movers, who are both frightened. They then sing a song called "He's Reptar", where Phil and Lil take it as the opportunity to crack a few jokes related to Reptar. The Rugrats flee into the rain, where they spot Susie, who has converted her red wagon into a pirate ship. She invites all of them on the ship and helps them confront Angelica. Susie and Tommy confront Angelica, who has, using the People-ator, turned normal bees into giant walking and talking bees.

Tommy then decides to climb the "Entire State Building", and a hesitant Chuckie joins him. When they reach the top, they feel like they are in space, and Chuckie gets over his fears. However, as Tommy and Chuckie are singing about their friendship, Reptar climbs up the tower and topples it down. The babies go inside where they climb up the stairs to Tommy's room and discover Angelica taking over the "Toy Palace". Tommy tries to intervene but is turned into a talking Tommy doll. Angelica also "railroads" Chuckie and forces him to ride on a toy train. Susie tries to tell Angelica to turn Tommy back into a real person, but Angelica refuses. Mr. Flashlight returns, and, with help from the audience, convinces Chuckie to be brave. He rides Reptar, forces her to give back the People-ator, and turns Tommy back into a real boy. Angelica is also forced to apologize for what she's done. After the musical finishes, a video screen comes down and shows Reptar, who winks and smiles at the audience.[2]

Availability

Though the musical seems to have been popular, has had many performances, and the soundtrack itself is available to purchase, little footage of any of the original performances of the musical have surfaced. No professional recordings have survived in English or been released on VHS/DVD. No bootleg recordings of the original performances have surfaced as well, and the chances of any recordings surfacing in full are slim to none. However, a professionally shot version of the musical in Spanish aired in Mexico on the Televisa network in 1999. A low-quality and incomplete recording of this broadcast recently surfaced on YouTube. The only English recordings of the show to have been uploaded are two YouTube videos uploaded by NickRewind, showing brief clips of random parts of the musical.
