I also went to school for theatre. I would love to see Frozen on Broadway, but alas it closed. Maybe the tour will hit up my city?

Frozen on Broadway was okay... Saw it right before Pandemic closed it down. THAT run time was stretched too long. I did not need to see people doing a conga-line in naked suits singing swedish... Talk about bloating out a show.

I saw Nemo, I enjoyed it. But I can understand why they would shorten it, as it was IMO bloated.

I still disagree with it being "bloated."

We can disagree on the makings of good theatre without acting like only our opinion is correct....

This is a topic I can agree to disagree on, but will still defend to the fullest of my extent whenever it is brought up. Lol, I accept that I may be in the minority here. But less is not always more, and in this case, I really don't think less was a better option at all. Especially for a park that needs a nice long air conditioning sit down option.

I assume very hardcore. lol

Glad to hear.

I imagine that is one Disney would take out... But that was also a short, funny comedic moment. I'm guessing a lot of the comedic & heartfelt moments are the ones being taken out. That's why Voyage of the Little Mermaid doesn't work for me.

It'll just be a shell of a story. Barely anything to be attached to. But I guess I am in the minority here. Which is very sad.

I am not typically a show person at theme parks. If I’m paying the prices I’m paying, I prioritize rides above all else. Having said that, Nemo was the ONLY stage show I thoroughly enjoyed and also prioritized during our frequent Disney visits. I could barely stand FOLK (I know I’m in the minority with that one). But Nemo? Nemo, to me, was wonderful as it was. I hope they didn’t gut it to the point I no longer care for it.

All that to say, I agree with you.

That’s refreshing to hear! Lol

I try to compare a theme park show quality to Broadway, but with a much shorter length. I look at the money comparisons... about 200-ish for a good seat for a Broadway show... $115-ish for a day ticket at disney. That’s why I dont stress much about squeezing in some shows. It’s worth the price.

If the show is good quality of course.

This is definitely a show that can benefit from a shorter run time.

Nemo until cast previews, from what I was told from a person who was actually at one of the previews, was actually a several hour long show originally, in an attempt to create a hard ticket event at Animal Kingdom years before anything else in the park would be open at night. If anything the runtime we had until the new show was significantly shorter.

Some other Nemo details from an article at the OS -

“We are maintaining a lot of great puppetry from the original vision of the show,” said Chris Iannuzzi, a puppet master with Disney Live Entertainment. “We’ve added a new puppet to this version of the show that’s going to be great. … It’s going to add another cute level to the show.”

“We redid the entire scenic packet with this new watercolor paper, layered paper texture,” said Matt Fiuza, art director with Disney Live Entertainment. “Not only the three-dimensional scenic pieces have that aesthetic, but the entire video content that extends beyond into the video screen is all with done with the same style.”

"The technology syncs up with onstage performers.

There are “a lot of coordinations on how the scenic pieces are moving together, how performers are moving together, and how that content is reacting to all the movement that’s happening on stage,” Fiuza said. “So, a lot of brand-new stuff that we weren’t able to do before.”

“For people familiar with the show, it’s definitely going to be a wow factor,” Iannuzzi said.

A new lighting package was installed at the theater, he said.

“All the lighting has been placed upon the venue itself feels alive. … the presidium, everything, feels alive with the lighting, and then immerses our cast into the story that much more so you feel like you’re in the story,” Iannuzzi said."

Here is there rest on Fantasmic! (didn't think there was anything new here?) -

"For the revival of “Fantasmic” at Hollywood Studios, “we are creating a whole new section that is a live-action sequence with all-new stunts, with all-new characters and stories to be told,” said Matthew Hamel, show director.

“We’re tapping into Disney heroes that we have grown to know and love — some classics and some new. So you’re going to see ‘Frozen,’ you’re going to see a little bit of ‘Moana,’ you’re going to see the classics like Aladdin and Mulan and still Pocahontas as well,” he said.

“We do feel like it’s going to be a lot more relevant and a lot more inclusive of all stories,” Hamel said.

Other sights and sounds are being modified, he said.

“Everything’s going to look a little different,” Hamel said. “We do have some new technology that we are including in the show as we remount it to make sure that it feels refreshed.”

Clint Clarke, senior audio designer, said the enhanced “Fantasmic” will not be best seen online.

“You have to come to Hollywood Studios and sit and see the show,” Clarke said. “It’s going to be immersive. We’re taking that experience and raising the bar.”

There has been no specific reopening date for “Fantasmic” either.

“We are planning on bringing it back by the end of the year,” Hamel said."
