Has anyone noticed how many musicals that were made by Disney? Quite a few were, in fact. These musicals are called "Disney Theatrical Productions" and "Disney on Broadway". I think it is nice that Disney does this, because it encourages children and other fans of Disney to support live theatre. I have friends who discovered they enjoyed musical theatre when they saw their first Disney musical.
The first made was Beauty and the Beast. I saw that once, and it was pretty entertaining.
The next created was The Lion King, which I also saw live.
Another is Tarzan, which is a great movie, but the musical didn't seem to run for very long.
The next was The Little Mermaid, one of my favorite Disney movies of all-time.
Others include Mary Poppins, High School Musical, Newsies, King David, Aida, and Peter and the Starcatcher.
Which are your favorite Disney musicals or movies?
I LOVE Disney! Some of my favorite Disney musicals are Aida, Beauty and the Beast, and The Little Mermaid. King David is cool, too (I can't stand High School Musical, though).
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cortney! I had never heard of King David before...
DeleteCool! I didn't know they made a Tarzan one. Aida was a good musical, and what I've seen of The Little Mermaid was good too.
ReplyDeleteYeah, some of the songs I've heard from Tarzan are pretty good! I love Aida and The Little Mermaid!
DeleteI didn't know about King David, but investigated and found that Tim Rice(lyrics and book)and Alan Menken(music) as an outdoor piece to commemorate the 3,000th anniversary of the city of Jerusalem. When it proved logistically and financially impossible to do it and Disney took an interest in it. Maybe someone will take it on again.
ReplyDeleteI like all of them.
Thanks for stopping by! That sounds really interesting... thanks for researching it.
