EPCOT Entertainment cuts

[wannabeBelle]

I have just heard from several very reliable sources that Off Kilter, The Fife & Drum Corp and Mo' Rockin' are all being terminated as of September 27th. That is the date of the final performances for all three acts. I personally am sad beyond words. Off Kilter has been a staple for me for many years. I have heard that they are looking to replace them with more "traditional" entertainment for the future. Thoughts, opinions?? Marie

They are gonna have riots on their hands if Off Kilter is being cut...

(But really, is there anything NOT being cut these days?)

 

[wannabeBelle]

I think so as well. It is definite though!!!! I cant think what kind of havoc this is going to lead to!!! Marie

I am already ready to start rioting if this is true. I see Off Kilter at least a couple of a shows in 1 day every few months since I moved down here in 2010. I can't believe they would do this. This is really starting to irk me with all these cuts....Off Kilter has been here for over 17 years now. I'm gonna be really bummed. They ALWAYS draw a good crowd too

Expect to hear about another show as they were also informed.

Keeping the same entertainment in the parks year after year contributes to the staleness of WDW. These acts get old very quick.

 

[Brewmaster]

Unbelievable.

Is it possible this is just when the current contracts are up, and that they'll likely be routinely renewed like every other panic situation in the past?

That has not been the case in recent history.

Off Kilter, Mo Rockin and Fife & Drum have been confirmed by entertainment cast members, so those are definite. I understand British Revolution and Mulch, Sweat & Shears are safe...............for now. Marie

That has not been the case in recent history.

But wasn't there a panic a short while back when Voices of Liberty were rumored to be axed, but it turned out to be a routine contract renewal?

Has another act been dropped recently? I'm drawing a blank.

Yeah, but I'm worried about a different Epcot based equity show.

 

[Cody5242]

If British Revolution and Mulch, Sweat & Shears get cut......

 

[Cody5242]

They better be replacing each entertainment with new shows

Long Live the King!

 

[wannabeBelle]

Thats all I have heard for now and I think that is quite enough thank you very much!!!! I am going to bed, please keep me updated on any other happenings. Thanks all & try to have a Magical Night!!! Marie

Belle... I know you are a big Off Kilter fan like myself. Have you personally talked to the members of Off Kilter? How are they feeling about this move? Perhaps some of it was their decision? I can understand that 17 years playing the same gig could be quite tiresome .

 

[fltink]

Off Kilter will be missed .....

That's true. I would love if it were the case again!
