[Chat] What type of show would you like to see coming to the Fantasyland stage in 2013?

[DisneyChrisDotCom]

What type of show would you like to see coming to the Fantasyland stage in 2013? I would love to see a big budget show performed there once again. I hope they also plan to make the theater look prettier, and the seating look less temporary.

I think they should do a revue of all the Sherman Brother songs, as one of the brothers has left us this past year. It could be a musical tribute to their Disney legacy. Lots of dance numbers, costumed characters etc etc.

The could do a medley of Annette songs as a big 50's sock hop dance number
A Mary Poppins medley with dancing chimney sweeps
The World is a Carousel of Color segment
A Jungle Book segment
Winnie the Pooh segment
- Bring back the Scat Cats (remember those costumes?) and do an Aristocrats number.

The possibilities are endless. I would love to see a show like that.

Stage version of Song of the South. That way people can see there is nothing wrong with the movie and Disney can finally release it on DVD.

I'd like to see Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Max, Chip, Dale, and Pluto all with the "talking Mickey" technology. The show could be similar to Philharmagic with the Toontown characters interacting with the animated feature characters. This way you get a show that appeals to both genders, you get to use music from the feature films, and it makes sense for a theater on the border on Fantasyland and Toontown.

I like that idea - but without Max - he is more recent, and I do not consider him a classic character. He is a syndicated TV character. Different caliber. And his spiky hair annoys me.

In the day I want amateur acts from all over the SW, just like Disney used to have two years ago. And mixed in, I'd like musicians from the parks to do sets. Also I want some characters to do sets, like "Feats of Strength" with Gaston and The Beast.

At night (after the fireworks) I want "Disney After Dark" with Jessica Rabbit singing, and various other face characters performing too, though Jessica just jumped into my mind. And I want Cruella, the insult comic/MC. All her insults should be directed at other Disney characters and not at children in the audience.

I would like a Mickey and the gang visit Disney stories so it could include many Disney characters.

The idea of Cruella being an evil MC is the best I've heard yet.

Ugh. I hope they fast track plans to tear down the theater and expand Fantasyland with a new ride/restaurant.

I would be ok with that, if after they do that, they turn the Magic Eye theater back into an amphitheater, and use it for live stage shows once again. That is only because they have already said Captain EO is leaving soon. Disneyland needs a large outdoor theater. I think the former Space stage was a much better design and a much better location for this than next to small world.

Theme it to a Greek amphitheater where a group of foolish Greeks badly and comically try to act out the Greek classic plays and epic myths.

A show about Walt's life

I like this. My favorite show was Animazement. This sounds like it could be in the same calibre, but new and innovative at the same time.

Re: What type of show would you like to see coming to the Fantasyland stage in 2013?

I wouldn't mind seeing something similar to The Golden Mickeys from DCL and HKDL. I saw that show in Hong Kong and it was arguably better than any of the shows at the US parks that aren't Fantasmic.

I also like the idea of using the theater for live music after dark. Maybe a theme park version of the House of Mouse?

One thing I have wished for years and years to come back would be Mickey's Nutcracker Suite. I saw it in 1991 and it seemed to be the only year it played. I think they should give it a more sophisticated feel and make it a permanent yearly Christmas offering. You can see the TV special of it which is actually a broadcast recording of the Videooplis/Fantasyland Theater production. Nothing gets you in the spirit like a Nutcracker musical.

I like that idea too Orbital - but will they charge extra to see it

Phantom of the Opera.































Just kidding.
I would like to see an Ink and Paint club type of show and since the theater is so close to Toontown it might just fit.

I'd lo love to see a Tangled or Princess and the Frog Musical......I know some want older shows but I loved those movies and would love to see them in a live action stage show with a new song like Aladdin got when it can to DCA

Re: What type of show would you like to see coming to the Fantasyland stage in 2013?

I really want a Hercules stage show, but I'm positive Disney would mess it up and it would turn out like their cruise line attempt. I'd really love something on Aladdin caliber, but I doubt that will happen. I'd even be fine with Animazement, but I do somewhat want a show that focuses on one story rather than jumping around.

I bet you 10 to 1 it'll be something Princess themed.

Unfortunately you are probably correct.

There will be no princesses there.
