Disneyland brings back Royal Theatre live shows

[DCBaker]

"Witty and fast-paced versions of Disney princess tales are headed back to Disneyland’s Royal Theater as live stage shows continue to make a comeback as part of the phased reopening of the Anaheim theme park resort.

Live theatrical performances return to the Royal Theatre in Fantasy Faire at Disneyland on Friday, April 29 after a two-year pandemic pause.
The Storytelling at the Royal Theatre shows feature the thespian duo of Mr. Smythe and Mr. Jones who put on 20-minute versions of “Beauty and the Beast” and “Tangled.”

The “surprise” Royal Theatre shows won’t appear on the Disneyland app or printed show schedules for the first few days of performances. That means visitors won’t know which show will be presented — or at what time — until they walk up to the covered outdoor theater. Royal Theatre show times will begin appearing in the Disneyland app in the next few days after the “surprise and delight” soft reopening of the venue comes to an end."

Lumiere puppet thing seems to be gone.

I'm glad they brought these back, but isn't it about time for some new shows here?

I enjoy the BATB and Tangled shows they do, but there's no reason they can't rotate in shows based on other films too.

For your answer, check out that BATB show at DHS.

Huh? That show has nothing in common with this one other than that they're about the same film. DLR tends to be better at cycling out entertainment than WDW, unless it involves Christmas Fantasy or MSEP.

There's no reason they can't, say, rotate out the Tangled show and replace it with a similarly-toned show about a different Disney film.

The show isn't the same. But Disney hesitation to swap out old stuff and invest in new certainly is.

To a point, but DHS' reluctance to remove stage shows older than I am, though ridiculous and sad, has little to do with anything DLR is doing with its entertainment.

Wake me when they swap it out then.

And can we get performances that aren’t based on princess films? Throw Hunchback or Sword in the Stone in there.

It is in "Royal Theater" situated adjacent to Royal Hall where the princesses meet.

 

[drizgirl]

And didn't they also do a Frozen version of this?

Yes, but I don’t think it’s necessarily restricted to princesses.

 

[drizgirl]

Yes, but I don’t think it’s necessarily restricted to princesses.

You don't. But so far Disney does.

As much as I would like that, those are not franchise films, so for Bob they don't exist.

 

[Animaniac93-98]

And didn't they also do a Frozen version of this?

Yes, for some time. I forget when they went back to BatB/Tangled.

 

[drizgirl]

As much as Disney would like to move on from their princess roots, as long as the merch moves, that ain't happening.

 

[Animaniac93-98]

Maybe they can do a Toy Story play?

We really do need more Toy Story in Disney Parks.

 

[Californian Elitist]

You don't. But so far Disney does.

Not necessarily, the Hunchback jukebox and Figaro figure may suggest otherwise.

Well you keep hoping.

Hah! Almost had that at the Hyperion!
