That should have already been established as part of the concept design that got the project approved. They should also already have such data from all of the other things they’ve done in the past. It would be a huge problem if this something they were testing. It would mean they committed to a massive project without knowing the very basics.Probably overall tone and mood for Villains land.

The most recent show Disney Live Entertainment produced was the Holidays in Hollywood show for Jollywood Nights next door at the Theater of the Stars.40 minutes-ish shows used to be the norm at WDW. Those days are long gone. They’ve started to become shorter over the last 10-15 years. If this turns out to be even 30 mins, I’ll be shocked. 20-25 mins would be my guess, but even 25 mins seems like wishful thinking. We shall see.

I wouldn't be surprised if they go the route of Festival of the Lion King and do a show every hour. Right now Lion King does 7-9 performances a day. There would be more than enough demand for the show. This would allow for two separate sets of Equity cast per day.The most recent show Disney Live Entertainment produced was the Holidays in Hollywood show for Jollywood Nights next door at the Theater of the Stars.
When it first debuted it was at 27 mins. The following year they cleaned things up and cut out fluff bringing the time down to 25 mins, which did make the show flow smoother & overall better.
I'd imagine the new Villians show would be around that of 25 mins, especially since there's probably gonna be 5-6 showings per day with the equity cast. It's also probably gonna stack on top of the existing BATB and Indiana Jones shows.
Currently the first show of the day for both start at the same time, but then after that IJ starts 15-30 mins after a BATB show starts. Add Villians to that mix and they will all stack and rotate to help ease and pull guests.

Unless equity rules have changed, Lion King would have more than 2 actors per role since they can only perform 4 shows a day with a max of 20 per week. Next week for instance there are 53 performances so that's at least 3 full casts of singers needed. There are probably 4 performers who do the role regularly plus other actors on property who sub/understudy each role for emergencies.I'd be surprised if they do that many.
BATB has 4 Belle's and 3 Gaston's (currently) with 1 or 2 on deck each day.
Lion King has 2 for each singer, which is surprising tbh. They may have stand ins but I only ever see the same 2 actors rotate.
Villians would probably have at minimum 2 per role. If it is 7-9 showings, that would be nice and similar to the Frozen sing-a-long of every hour and no lunch break/gap.
Here’s them responding to getting it wrong in the comment section of the video still no retraction on the main siteThe other site has already posted about the run time wonder how long until they fix it EDIT they still haven’t fixed it it made its way to the YouTube video
Why are we tracking their response to this?Here’s them responding to getting it wrong in the comment section of the video still no retraction on the main site
No real reason just for funWhy are we tracking their response to this?
Not that this confirms or denies that they have stand ins, but I have seen the show run with only three singers multiple times, which leads me to believe there aren’t many, if any, extras.They may have stand ins but I only ever see the same 2 actors rotate.
I’ve only ever seen that recorded on video once! The girl singer was missing so the Can You Feel The Love segment was only done and sung by the one guy singer, so it makes for an interesting B-mode alt sequence.Not that this confirms or denies that they have stand ins, but I have seen the show run with only three singers multiple times, which leads me to believe there aren’t many, if any, extras.
(My apologies for not knowing their stage names, if they have any. I’ll refer to them by the section they lead)I’ve only ever seen that recorded on video once!

Also in the finale that same guy singer sings the parts for the missing one.
This is gold! Thank you.(My apologies for not knowing their stage names, if they have any. I’ll refer to them by the section they lead)
Twice when the Warthog section leader was missing, the giraffe section leader took over her songs (notably Circle of Life). Can You Feel The Love Tonight was a solo by the lion section leader, which was interesting because the Giraffe section leader was still there who usually does the duet to my knowledge. Was interesting to hear the Giraffe section leader sing the Circle of Life, as she seemed to try and sing it low(er) the first time and then sang in a higher pitch the second time which seemed more natural and comfortable for her.
Once I saw the Giraffe section leader missing, which was just as you mentioned. Can You Feel The Love Tonight became a solo with the guy covering.
As for sections when the Warthog section leader was missing, once I think I saw the Lion section leader lead both the lions and the warthogs, with a similar spiel at the beginning. The other time I saw the elephant section leader lead both the elephants and the warthogs. Could have also been the Elephant section leader leading both times, don’t remember super well.
I believe when the giraffe section leader was missing the giraffe section was lead by the lion section leader.
Anyways, sorry for the rambling, but the “B-mode” is pretty interesting to see, especially considering how rare it is to see.
I hope they get rid of the bench seating for that reason as well.I feel like if the seats are going to be benches then that I don't mind it being on the shorter end. I need my back rested on something cause I tend to slouch after a while.
Those benches are rough....says the person who sat through Racing Academy twice during Rider Switching RnRCI hope they get rid of the bench seating for that reason as well.
