Status: Partially Found

Starting in 2002, VeggieTales started doing live shows in Silver Dollar City, Missouri and Dollywood, Tennessee. These shows were specially written for these parks. Unlike VeggieTales Live, these shows used mostly puppets instead of costumes. They had costumes, but only Bob and Larry. Like VeggieTales Live, these shows had humans included to help keep the flow of the stories going. They returned to Silver Dollar City in 2008.

Dollywood

No specific name was given for this show, but this show was toured throughout Summer 2003. It was hosted by the Pirates Who Don't do Anything as well as Bob and Larry. Each show would have a re-telling of a classic episode, namely "Rack, Shack & Benny" and "Lyle the Kindly Viking".

Silver Dollar City

VeggieTales started its life at Silver Dollar City in 2002, with "A Very Veggie Revue". Like the Dollywood show, "A Very Veggie Revue" had retellings of their previous episodes, albeit only segments. In 2008, VeggieTales returned to Silver Dollar City with "The Invention of Silliness". Unlike the previous shows, this one was entirely original and exclusive to the park.

Availability

Many photos of both the Dollywood and Silver Dollar City shows have made their way online, but there aren't many videos of any of the full shows. It is unknown if anybody, or even an employee, has these full shows recorded.

On June 14, 2024, the entire "Lyle the Kindly Viking" show was discovered by ProfessorSlenderCat and uploaded to YouTube by What's the Big Idea?.
