It sounds pretty interesting to me. Getting behind the scenes look at the creations of shows is what I live for.

Who 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."

Is it really the best idea to open the special by reliving the disaster that was Toni Braxton in Beauty and the Beast?

So are they just going to skip Aida?
#13
Posted: 12/14/14 at 7:34pm
I wouldn't be surprised if they end up skipping both Tarzan and The Little Mermaid...

They mentioned both of those shows in the opening.

Ugh. They pretty much glossed over Aida, Tarzan, and The Little Mermaid. That sucks.

Well, 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

Why would they talk about their failures or shows that weren't well received? Not really Disney's style.

Hunchback isn't really a sure thing yet.
#21
Posted: 12/14/14 at 8:17pm
Aida certainly wasn't a failure.

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

Hopefully 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.

Nothing 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)
