Once Aladdin Musical hits the chopping block... what are your ideas to fill its spot?

A disney magic show

My guess is Anne Hamburger and her team just work up a new show. I hope it's a revue like Steps/Animazement rather than a single-story show like Aladdin. I think the revue format fits the parks so so so much better, as 25-40 minutes is no way to treat a film like Aladdin or Snow White.

That kind of show is exactly what I was trying to describe

The people I've encountered from Disney Theatricals here in NYC are extremely apathetic towards the theme park entertainment division.

That's funny, because when I talked to someone I met from Disneyland's Entertainment Division, she said that most all of the people who work in Disney Creative Entertainment (theme park overall ent.-and supposedly a pretty small group) come from professional theatre backgrounds, including Broadway and the like. Art/Theatre people are always snubbing each other.

I really think that whatever replaces Aladdin should be a Disney production, not blast or the BMG. It never felt right to me to have blast there, it just didn't fit somehow. I'd much rather see a big Disney show than anything else while I'm at DLR.

Totally agree! You took the words out of my mouth (Ewww....hope your hands were clean...)

I miss Blast. Seems like it was the most popular show ever to play in that building. Can't argue with what works- especially in DCA.

I've got it! The perfect show!

I think Alladin has been the most popular show in that building.

I really liked the idea of having a non-Disney show in that theater. There is plenty of room for Disney character stuff in the other theme park. I liked the early stages of DCA entertainment, when they were trying to make the offerings at the park a complete 180 degrees from Disneyland. I know they got a lot of complaints about things not being "Family Friendly," but I really liked the idea of a more adult entertainment offering to complement the often too-kiddie oriented Disneyland entertainment menu.

I don't like Snow White or Aladdin, but I loved Blast and I really liked the original "Steps in Time" and that stomp-like thing they did at the backlot stage. I thought that Eureka was the best Disney Parade since Hercules, and I liked the walk-around characters that weren't cartoons, like the vine thing and those cool sommersaulting banners.

Maybe they could do some kind of Cirque du Soleil thing there next.

I would love to see the ladies of disney burlesque show.
