I agree with Arthur. If Disney is going to the effort of remaking a land, why not go all in and add something truly impactful? I don't really get this update.
I recently watched Encanto at the Hollywood Bowl on Disney+. While watching it, I thought this would make a great show for the Hyperion Theater. My family and I enjoyed the Frozen show there back in 2017.
The Aladdin show was quite good also. Going with Marvel is certainly unexpected. Who knows? Maybe it will be great. For me, one of the most under-the-radar and exceptional Disney Parks stage shows was The Hunchback of Notre Dame many year ago at DHS. Incredible performers and great production.
The Marvel stage show is going to be a hoot...but I suspect will appeal to a very small demographic of theater and comic book nerds - myself included! I think the “limited offering” is to give themselves an out if they find it playing to half full houses after a few months.
Those are valid points. But I suspect if the show is well done (which it very likely will be), and the word-of-mouth is good, visitors will flock to the show regardless of their Marvel geek status. That’s the optimist in me pontificating.
