Guys! I have some very exciting news! Disney juked us out big time! The whole "firework" show thing was just a farce! And here we were thinking they were ruining Epcot! The future is bright!

I am actually shocked at this. I follow the main broadway forum and see a number of shows every year. This sold well at Papermill (which is a testing ground often for broadway shows) due to hype, but was largely panned.

It was generally thought that the show would need a lot of work off broadway or some other market before it would be a viable production. The hunchback production that had it's own problems but also ran at Papermill was largely much more liked as a production people wished for on broadway.

The performance of hercules in the park in nyc also happened a few summers ago, but that has a much more community theater vibe so a lot of the limitations of the show were more forgiven although people also did not see it as a broadway level test run.

This is all so exciting!!!!

So the teaser for TS5 shows Woody back with the gang? Will they retcon TS4 and pretend it did not happen. Please God say yes!

So many promising ideas, especially Zootopia 2 and Moana 2.

I really want to believe Disney has learned from its past movie flops and is headed in a good direction!

I think this will be most like the recent German production that was a pretty big hit.

Well now I have to watch the review of that. I have had a weird 6 months or so where work has not sent me to nyc since we hired a few new people in market and did not follow as closely to hear about the german production. I would assume it is possible this production was the off broadway test in a major market that was needed. Thanks for the info.
