Posted: 12/14/14 at 4:41pmJust so everyone is clear, this is one big commercial.

Posted: 12/14/14 at 4:43pmIt sounds pretty interesting to me. Getting behind the scenes look at the creations of shows is what I live for.

Posted: 12/14/14 at 4:45pmLol. Yeah, I akwYs think its funny when people wet their pants over these infomercials.

Posted: 12/14/14 at 4:49pmBut they are liveblogging it on here! So, it will enhance the experience!

Posted: 12/14/14 at 4:54pmWho is wetting, Jordan? I think it looks interesting but I certainly will not be voiding my bowels on Disney.

Infomercial or not, all mass media- maybe ALL media of any kind, is peddling something, whether it's overt or subliminal.
If you can't figure out what the product is, it's often "white people."

Posted: 12/14/14 at 7:06pmIs it really the best idea to open the special by reliving the disaster that was Toni Braxton in Beauty and the Beast?

Posted: 12/14/14 at 7:07pmlol I was thinking the same thing. She kept singing off key in the interview. ugh

Posted: 12/14/14 at 7:24pmSo are they just going to skip Aida?
#12Backstage With Disney on BroadwayCelebrating 20 Years tonight on ABC
Posted: 12/14/14 at 7:34pmI wouldn't be surprised if they end up skipping both Tarzan and The Little Mermaid...

Posted: 12/14/14 at 7:43pmUgh. They pretty much glossed over Aida, Tarzan, and The Little Mermaid. That sucks.
#15Backstage With Disney on BroadwayCelebrating 20 Years tonight on ABC
Posted: 12/14/14 at 7:46pmWell, it is an hour-long TV special. Hopefully we'll get more into that in some sort of documentary ala Waking Sleeping Beauty.

It's cause they are ashamed of Little Mermaid and Tarzan. They would have made room if the shows ended up being hits. They even had time to announce Frozen was coming to Broadway. Just cause it made the most money out of any Disney animated musical, doesn't mean it lends itself nicely to the stage (which it doesn't in my opinion).Can you imagine if it bombs?

Weird that they only announced Frozen for Broadway and not Hunchback, which is going to be most likely there in like a year

Posted: 12/14/14 at 8:04pmWhy would they talk about their failures or shows that weren't well received? Not really Disney's style.
#19Backstage With Disney on BroadwayCelebrating 20 Years tonight on ABC
Posted: 12/14/14 at 8:07pmHunchback isn't really a sure thing yet.
#20Backstage With Disney on BroadwayCelebrating 20 Years tonight on ABC
Posted: 12/14/14 at 8:17pmAida certainly wasn't a failure.

Man, Frozen on Broadway already has an official twitter page! How long is it going to take?

Posted: 12/14/14 at 8:40pmHopefully long. Disney sucks when they try to fast-track productions. I have a feeling this Frozen show is going to be rushed. I doubt they are going to take it out of town. The show doesn't lend itself to the stage all that well. Its not really a Broadway musical type of film.

Posted: 12/14/14 at 8:42pmNothing especially great. But if it gets one person to bring one kid to live theatre then I am good

I think they will probably have a tryout because every single Disney show to date (aside from Tazan...) has had one (with Hunchback, Aida, and Aladdin having 2)
