Now Jake and Elwood – wearing their trademark dark suits, porkpie hats and matching sunglasses – take the stage every day at Universal Studios®, accompanied by the vocal talents of Mabel the waitress and her sax-playing lesser half, Jazz. The Blues Brothers may have left the Windy City behind, but they've brought with them the high energy music and attitude that is distinctively "Chicago." 

A Day in the Park with Barney™

 

It's the only place on earth where kids can meet Barney and his friends Baby Bop and BJ live every day in a sing-along, clap-along musical show.
