King Louie will be a fully articulated character, with moving eyes and mouth. He will also be accompanied by 24 dancers on-stage and even a live trumpet player!

Getting more excited for this! Here's a new video from the blog which shows the recording session for the show with a full orchestra. There's also a new original song written just for the show, called "Journey Into Imagination"

The theater has been renovated with all new 9.1 surround sound system (with 61 speakers) and a new control booth. They also report that the show's technology allows them to change the content over time to include new scenes or even holiday overlays, similar to World of Color.

I love the fact Louie has the fully articulated face too!

It's been 12 years since there's been a decent stage show at DLR. SOOOOO excited.

This show looks phenomenal I'm so bummed they won't even be doing previews while I'm there. I'm missing it by just a few weeks!

Dress rehearsal. All the characters singing different things at the same time can be a little much, but I'm sure it will sound great when everything is completed.

Unbelievable work Disney. Not only do they show Rapunzel and Mulan wigs in the video (MAGIC!), they're in the thumbnail. This is the kind of thing an hourly cast member could be fired for.

One more video before the show officially opens this Saturday!

Looks like a wide range of musical number too.
