Two shows today.

One more picture of the roof. It's clearly still being worked on, there are still scrims up on the sides and the cast members are calling these shows "open during refurbishment ".

That looks awful hopefully they put the cloth or rugs back up underneath the new roof to hide it. The exterior also looks weird to me, hopefully there is more theming to come.

There is.

 

[Incomudro]

There is.

Yes, of course there is.
I don't know why people would worry about this.
Just look at the rest of AK and tell me with a straight face that they'd leave this building bare.
Of course not.

Not personally disagreeing with you, but I'm willing to bet 95% of people who see the shows with the theater like this don't think there is anything wrong with it (i.e., not themed).

Yeah, not to mention people don't look up a lot, I think it looks great. I love this show.

 

[wdwmagic]

Shows running on a limited unannounced basis for the next week ahead of the official reopening.

Looks like the theming won't be done by my trip next Sunday. I will miss the caravan feel.

Any update on this?

Curious if the facade has been completed on this. Plenty of videos out there of people walking through the parks and snapping shots of empty seating along the river bank and the new construction at Flame Tree, but has this work finished yet?

We saw the show yesterday and the facade is not complete. No impact on our enjoyment though!

Yes please...I saw this and was relieved it was from earlier.....one of my favorite discoveries last trip that was a "who knew?" a bird show could be so wonderful and fun. Love to know it is themed out nicely....
