My next trip to the World starts on January 18, and I just realized that I never say Finding Nemo the Musical. Is it any good? I love musical theatre, but I don't know if a musical about a fish really appeals to me...So any reviews would be helpful

It is amazing!
I am currently addicted to this show, I have watched it about twenty times over the last month or so. I also have a recording of it that I play on the Computer/Zune daily, in fact, I can hear a friend of mine singing it now.
It is very clever, the puppets are amazing, the music is brilliant and so catchy and the show is very fun.
Definately go and see it, it is definately worth it.
Just go with the Floooow!

Just to add, do a quick google images search for Finding Nemo: The Musical, both the puppets and the humans that operate them are a big part of the show, it is not just about the fish.
Thanks! I'll deffinetely make sure that I go to see it! And I looked up those pictures, and I see what you mean about the humans being a big part about it too. :lol:

You will not regret it, I have never heard someone say bad of it
When your seated try and get as close to the middle of the theatre as possible, I find that some positions on the far left and far right can only see the very front of the stage, there are certain sceneces which take place closer to the rear of the stage and you wouldn't have a chance of seing these.
Good luck, hope you enjoy it.

Do they have the "move all the way to the end of the row" policy? Because it's just my luck that I always get a seat all the way on the end.

Yer they do, I would advise, if the park feels busy to go about 45 minutes before start, as they usually load from the middle then outwards, I find on a fairly busy day by about 30 minutes before show start the middle is already full and the move on to the outside rows.
If you can't wait that long, try you may be lucky, if not and you enter and there arn't great seats available, you can always walk back out and wait for the next show.:wave:

It is the best show on property, IMO. You have to take the time to see it. You will not regret it. :wave:

My DH and I saw it in November. I had seen it before and really enjoyed it. My DH, who HATES musicals, loved it. We were right on the center aisle where the performers run and it was neat to be that close to them. I would suggest sitting in the back part of the theater rather than closer to the stage because then you'll miss what's going on in the center aisle.

I agree it is a great show!
There is lots of action in low light, so it is hard to get good pictures, but here are a few examples:
It is much better in person but you can see more pictures on my web site here:

I don't think Broadway has anything to worry about. Though I love the Avenue Q score (which is a parody/homage to children's shows), I found Finding Nemo's music to be uninspired and very forgettable. The only song I ever remember is the annnoying one sung by crush. And it very much is a theme park show, quality-wise.

I can not further from disagree with you there, it has character, it tells a story, it is original, it is unique, the songs get stuck in your head all of them.

Not gonna lie, but when Nemo came out a few years ago I was not that impressed. Everyone around me loved it but it didn't tickle my fancy.
A friend of mine took me to see the musical during my CP and it changed my whole view of the movie. Now I love the movie, but love the musical even better.
I'm hoping to take my mom on the 25th though I do not know the times it is playing yet :-(

Heading for the great escape.
Disney are to be congratulated for finding a show that is even worse than Tarzan Sucks.
Kids will enjoy the characters and bright colours, but the performers are absolute mince.

Could I ask, what makes their performance "mince" to you?

Even by theme park standards their inability to sing act or dance seems to fly in the face of the attributes required for a performer. Perhaps Im being a bit harsh, for an amateur dramatics performance it was the norm, I shouldnt judge by proper show standards.

It's HarmonioUS, NOT HarmoniYOU.
Its by no means Broadway.... but I would not call it Community Theater either.... its decent... its a happy medium between the two I guess. :lol::shrug:
Edit: IMO its the best live stage show on Disney Property... I do like it... and I like getting out of all that AK humidity for a little bit..lol. I rate it a lot higher than dinner theater... only without all the clanging of dishes and silverware. lol

We really liked it, we saw it for the first time in December '07 and to be honest we were wasting time because the line for everest was really long and we just walked past and decided to stop. It is worth doing, if you like nemo or if you just want to sit down for a while.:shrug:
