Poll: New Cirque Show or Disney Inspired Broadway Show?

[ryguy]

I voted for a Disney Show. Think Disney could package Dinner and show and make tons of money. I like cirque but if I am at Disney I would like to see Disney themed entertainment. What do you all think?

How about a 3rd option for a permanent ice show.

 

[Disneyhead'71]

I also voted for a Disney or possibly PIXAR show.

Disney Broadway Show all the way!

 

[brb1006]

Third option would be nice you know.

Cirque hands down! Love all Cirque shows I have ever seen. And the article of the closure Cirque themselves hinted there would be something new coming for them to continue working along with Disney.

Could say the same about Cirque...go to Vegas or your local arena's parking lot

La Nouba was exclusive to WDW. It was never a traveling show or in Vegas. The new show if they make another ,would likely be the same way.

I loved La Nouba and it was basically normal to see the posters and artwork for it everywhere around WDW...but now that you've said it...I love Disney on Broadway MORE! More Disney please!

I'd like to see a new Cirque developed for the venue. Broadway shows are entertaining but I much prefer the excitement and variety of the acts, as well as the comedy. Its a show thats thrilling and different enough from what you normally see and adds well to my vacation in FL.

My vote is for Cirque because it's always been a unique experience. Cirque is a night out AWAY from Disney theming. A Disney Broadway-style show (as much as I love them) would just seem redundant there.

To add on to Raven's point it is not like Disney is going to tear down the building to then construct an actual theatre to run a Broadway musical. Would be even more hilarious if Cirque development version of Avatar show finds a home in Disney.

 

[mergatroid]

I'd prefer a cirque show to replace it. If however we get a Disney show, then I think an extended version of the Frozen show from Disneyland would fit in?

 

[Robbiem]

I'd like to see a new cirque show but maybe using Disney themes as it's basis. It would be really interesting to see a cirque take on jungle book for example.

Alternatively if the rights allow a cirque marvel show could be interesting

Disney on broadway show would be a great addition to the area, giving folks a chance to see some quality entertainment. Most folks Will never make it to NYC. Bring it on.

 

[Smooth]

Why not both?

You don't have to go to NYC to see Disney on broadway. I have never been to NYC yet add just went to see The Lion King the touring version in New Orleans, which is identical to the NYC version. They go to different cities and stay about a month at each. I live 2 hours west of New Orleans and it was amazing. Lots of people came from the nearby states as well.
And also as pointed out Cirque would get an exclusive show if like La Nouba only in WDW so you couldn't see it in a traveling show so it would be nice to get one like that again exclusive to WDW.

They would need to make a few changes but it would still look like a circus tent.

I've ALWAYS thought that there should be a resident Broadway theater, like Shanghai has with Lion King. They could change the show every 5 years and even do exclusive shows to WDW.

Well? DHS would be perfect for that. And be a massive crowd-swallower which that park desperately needs.

Tours are "Broadway style" shows, not Broadway. There is an incredible difference between the two of you've ever seen an actual show ON Broadway in NYC. Broadway shows are built into the theatre and will change several parts of the stage, seating and backstage areas to work for the shows. Tours have to be built to fit a wide range of theatre specs and cannot do this. Often tours have a few different versions to adjust their specs for a venue. And some tours use non-Equity actors so they can cut costs. Broadway is all Equity and nearly all Equity actors strive toward a Broadway show because it means they are the very best in the business. I have worked in the live performance business for nearly 30 years and close friends in "The Great Commet of 1812" and "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Favtory" (opening soon) on Broadway. A few more friends in "The Phantom of the Opera" and "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder" on national tours and they have been on Broadway as well and they can tell you there is a definite difference. So just understand that it is an insult to say that tours and Broadway are identical.

I would love to see a Disney Broadway-style show exclusive to the area. It could be something like Believe from DCL where you get a heavy dose of Disney but not repeating a movie, but something exclusive to Disney Springs (much like La Nouba is/was).
