great news! There was an empty void in Italy with him gone. Showcase is coming back slowly but surely to pre pandemic with their entertainment.

We still thinking F! is 2022 bound, correct?

This goes on the M&G and Bibbidi Bobbidi list of stuff that won't return until we are really on the other side of the pandemic, I think...

Yes. Although I doubt February lol

More like actual spring.

Glad to hear all these performers are making it back! Kudos Disney!
Any word on the Citizens of Hollywood?

Quite surprised this is not back for the 50th! I would have thought Disney would do everything they could to get them back.

Are they American citizens or are work visas being issued again?

I think they, as a musical group, are based in the USA.

What's the hold up on the Trolley Dancers? It's not a big undertaking like FOF. Same goes for at MRFF's Rain version which could be spread out on the Castle Stage if MK is still not ready for a full MRFF/FOF.

If something 50th is on the Castle Stage...Fine with me! Although we have no clue if MRFF is done or not.

I know!!! So excited!!!

Also the drummers in Japan and Sergio? If so, I guess it was a budgetary delay all along.

Any chance they’ll do dress rehearsals thursday?

I spoke with Jason and the dress rehearsals will be done after park close so it will be private and the general public will not be able to attend. Now if you are able to be in the park after hours legitimately, depending on how the timing works out, you might get to hear them!! Marie

I never had any doubt it was strictly a monetary concern. Marie

I think HDDR will be soon too. They recalled the cast and held auditions for some new cast. I assume they’ve been working in other roles temporarily.

Some entertainment appears to be returning to Epcot!! Alberta Bound is returning to the Mill Stage in the Canada Pavilion on October 1st, 2021. The band features Jason Thomas and Billy Varnes both who worked with Off Kilter and CC Dixon who worked with Mulch, Sweat & Shears along with some other terrific musicians. Nice to see some of the great entertainment returning to Disney!!!

That is sooooo exciting! I'm a long time big fan of Off Kilter so I'm super happy to hear this! Thanks for the heads up!
