I'm sure there is a demographic that's going to absolutely LOVE this. I'm not in it, but there are plenty of people who are.

However, I will say that everyone in this specific performance indeed gave 100%. There is a lot of energy and everyone performed their role extremely well. Disney casted the show well. Lots of good looking people too :p

It's not my thing, but I still like it 1000x better than HSM.

No offense to TinTin or any other show member on who might be on here, but I am afraid this is another show(like HSM) my family and I will just walk by next time we are there. Agree that they dance very well but, sorry a bunch of folks just dancing and hopping around is not entertainment... for us anyway.

Well, like I said, it's designed for a certain demographic, and I have a strong feeling that this show will appeal greatly to its target audience.

You and I, however, can walk past the crowd and experience a slightly shorter line somewhere :)

Ed, I understand that I am not the demographic targeted here... but my kids 5, 10, 11, would not enjoy it (I suspect). I know they never wanted to watch the HSM shows over the last few years.

Hopefully it will pull away folks from the lines at ToT or RnRC :)... but somehow I doubt it.

I've actually heard great things about this show. Let's hope they keep the energy and enthusiasm.

We are not their target audience in this case, and that's OK with me.

Got to catch the 4:30 show today, and I gotta say-- it's alot of fun! As someone who will be hearing alot of it, I think I'm going to enjoy DCR six times a day much more than HSM3… Six… Times… A… Day. This new show has alot of life to it, alot of energy. And the singers and dancers seem to be a talented bunch.

I honestly would love to see Mulch, Sweat, and Shears doing sets in front of the hat every day… But I guess a girl can dream. The Summer Nightastic sets were some of my favorites.

But Club Disney or Club Monster Inc stage shows from TDL, would involve fun music and characters that the whole family would enjoy. Just like Block Party Bash, which involved a lot of music that the parents and kids enjoy together.

Yes, the dancers clearly worked very hard and did a great job (except, sorry singers, but they were off key and I wasn't impressed). However, I - like some others here have stated - wish that Disney would bring back more "all family" entertainment versus just a specific demographic (i.e., toddlers and tweens).

Furthermore, what always totally irked me about HSM (and now this one) is how the central hub in DHS is all but "closed off" all day long to support this show. If they ran the show, say once every other hour, fine, but to run it as often as they do and to completely take up all that space is poorly planned (IMHO).

First of all, I have not seen the new show and I'm not big on watching the videos online (will see it in person in a month) so my comments are not really directly related to Disney Channel Rocks. My comments are more toward the arguments of 'not for the whole family' or 'targeting a specific demographic' and how much these arguments bug me.

To me, 'family entertainment' is something that is not so offensive that little ones can't enjoy it and not so infantile that adults can't enjoy it. To me, the stage shows (or moving stage shows in the case of HSM and now DCR) satisfy this. Have I enjoyed the past few shows, no, not so much. But I certainly can't complain that Disney is trying to target too small of a demographic. My DW loves musical theatre and my DD is 6, so we always watch the shows. Are they well done? Yes. Are they at least decently performed? Yes. My DD had never seen HSM when we first saw the DHS show, but she loved the live performance and was up and dancing with them.

Me, I can't stand musical theatre, but I can't complain that these shows only target a specific demo or aren't as family friendly as other shows or rides. Does the Snow White movie scare my DD? Yup, but it's still family entertainment. Does the Dumbo ride 'target' little kids? Yup, but I still love going on it. Does my family want to ever see LMA? Nope, but there are lots of families who do! There are plenty of Disney things that my family doesn't like, but they are still family entertainment.

I personally think that a live show at the hub of DHS fits well with the park theme and even though I can barely sit through them, I can't see myself complaining that they shouldn't be there.

Sorry about that, rant over. Time for a nap (cue AC dream sequence).

Maybe we're unusual, but my wife and I rather enjoy the current music you typically find on Radio Disney/Disney Channel---in other words, my "whole family" would enjoy this show.

Of course, time will tell when we see how the guests react.
