It sounds like they don't want to spend much money on this, but I can't even imagine WDW's sing-along show working in that theater I'm also sad that the best 3D film on property is going away again for the flavor of the week. It doesn't fit the theme of TL at all, but they could use a nice draw in that theater, and it seems like it's probably bigger than the Muppets one anyway

Then again, maybe not, because this: <a target="blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://frozenthemusical.com/">http://frozenthemusical.com/</a>

Even though that website exists, I'm not convinced that the project has been greenlit Also, they recently opened an Aladdin show on Broadway but the DCA version is still around. They also had Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, and The Little Mermaid while the scaled down versions were playing (and continue to) in WDW. Why not do it for Frozen?

Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt "A Broadway version doesn't necessarily mean they can't do it in the Hyperion." I think a full blown Frozen show at The Hyperion would be great. Certainly more compelling to me than a character meet and greet.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I can't find the whole quote, but Iger was overtly vague about what was being developed. It didn't mention Disney Theatrical, and lacked any specific reference to anything other than being on a stage (no mention of location, venue type, etc). Lots of people, including in the media, read between the lines to interpret it as a Broadway-style show, but that's not really what he said

Originally Posted By FerretAfros MiceAge posted a mini-update with it on Tuesday, but Spirit pretty much confirmed the gist of it after their previous update which indicated Frozen would move to the Backlot area. Personally, I think it would be great if some (any?) of this could use the Millionaire building to actually add something to the park's line-up rather than swapping out with the regular stuff, but that's probably just asking too much
