News David Duffy named Vice President, Live Entertainment at Walt Disney World Resort

[Disone]

At Disneyland today I’ve watched the pirate band, jazz band, pearly band, Disneyland band, Main Street ragtime piano, and saloon piano. I think straw hatters were here today as well. Live entertainment is alive and well here at Disneyland. (Although there have been some cuts here as well….)

Reporting or bragging.

DL has been, historically, the rare exception because they seem to care much more about entertainment there, even post-2001 cuts.

That show is so darn obscure (at least under its original name). Almost nothing survives of the earliest versions, and it's an almost unknown show for many, betwen its various incarnations (even when the formula, renamed and respun, has been used across prety much every Disney park at some point). Pretty much the first show with pre-recorded vocals as standard too. And there were, especially in the 60's and 70's tight rules related to how the show could be staged and cast... Very interesting.
