ORWEN: Of course the original version of B&TB that was done back in 1992 at Disneyland was much better than the current Florida version. Still, ALADDIN is done so well that we hate to see it go. We've only managed to see it about 8 times I think. But we love it so much. We'll have to make sure we see it again in September when we fly West again. ORGOCH: What I wanna' know is when they's ever gonna git 'round ta doin' stage shows on films they ain't even touched, yet! Ya know--like BLACK CAULDRON! (Oh, yeah--almost fergot--that didn't have no songs in it.) ORWEN: Neither did Finding Nemo--yet Animal Kingdom is getting ready to have a musical version of THAT by the end of this year.

True - but the show is really much more important. Have a bad show, and you won't have anyone waiting in the sun to worry about.

A Mermaid show could take advantage of the high celings and have several acrobatic scenes. I could just imagine a large ship on stage and an over size urusla battling it out I think Beauty and the Beast has been done wayyy to many times

If you'll remember, us Cauldron girls actually wrote songs for THE BLACK CAULDRON while our film was in production but we couldn't get the Producer, Joe Hale, to listen to any of them. ORGOCH: That's why some goomers went an' stole the best one I wrote called "Who Let The Frogs Out?" 'Course the no good jerks changed the title ta suit 'emselves!

Originally Posted By markedward I've read somewhere that there is a move to end theme park shows that are based on the same film as Broadway shows, so that people don't fail to shell out $100 each for a show they think they can see at Disney World (etc) for free. If this is true, then a Beauty and the Beast show at DCA would be very unlikely. I think High School Musical sort of makes sense. Cheap staging. Hugely popular. Probably appealing to teens. How about "Finding an Incredible Car's Life Story, Inc."? (as per my previous Pixar rants) I'm liking some of the suggestions I've read. I'm betting on "Tron - The Musical".

THey have to have people use the ones in the backlot because there are none in the theatre! Who's lack of a bright idea was that?

Originally Posted By deadmentellnotales I'd love to see something classic in there something like Peter Pan or Pinnocio, but Tron sound good also
Originally Posted By xrayvision I wouldn't mind seeing HKDL's "Golden Mickeys" in Hyperion.

Yeah, it's came from Disney Cruises, but it does several popular disney characters and songs... and they could add other scenes (like TRON, Mary Poppins, Pocahontas).
