Nov 16 Power of Blast! Preview

I still talk about that show! I loved it... And hips girl. She had good moves!

 

I had to investigate the cymbal player just to see what you guys were talking about...no wonder you all still remember her all these years later!

If anybody wants to see the magic in action firsthand, she's in white in the lower right part of the screen and starts gyrating around 2:40, and goes for about a full minute before she has to get back to the mundane task of percussion:

Although DCA1.0 gets a lot of flak for attempting to be "hip and edgy", I think that Blast! was a really good fit for the park, offering an avant garde approach to a traditional performance medium that was accessible and entertaining to wide audiences. Those sorts of performances seem to have fallen out of favor since the turn of the millennium (not just at Disney parks), but I think they were a lot of fun

 

Thanks for that Ferret! Ioved the show with or without hip girl. But she was a nice bonus.

 

WTH was hips girl doing lol?

 

I mean, I've always thought that Ravel's Bolero had a certain sensuality to it (especially the original, non-marching band version), but usually those moves aren't on display in an auditorium with 2,000+ in the audience. But good for her for letting it all out there

Had she had been a member of the Aladdin cast, I probably would have actually enjoyed that terrible show!

 

She should have been cast as Jasmine.

 

She should be cast in every show ever presented in the Hyperion

 

She would make Frozen a lot more fun. Let it go Hips!

Agreed, FerretAfros!
I liked a lot of the original entertainment offerings at DCA.

Eureka! Parade anyone?

 

What was she doing? Everything just right.

 

The Eureka parade had this cool classic Epcot and adult feel to it. No Pixar characters or anything. It was just a celebration of California and felt right. I wonder if hip girl worked on that parade too?

I loved the puppet skeletons.



But what were they thinking with this?

 

I like this one.

 

I like the Watts towers float. It looks like a cool sand castle.
