For those that missed it, here's a YouTube upload that was recorded from one of the Disney Cruise Ships which played the show on their television screens.

It’s almost like Disney has discovered fire.

As great as this show seems, this is a pretty big loss for parents of little kids and I think really speaks to how needed it is to expand Animation Courtyard to fix the dead end of Sunset
Trying to rider swap RnRC and ToT is a major pain in the behind, and McQueen and BatB at least meant you didn’t have to leave the area

Or move Villains events to Hollywood Studios and save the front of ROA.

I hope the show finds it's way to the official Villains Land once that opens up in MK. Would seem strange to have a fully fledged musical for the villains in DHS when the entire land is in another park.
I still question what this means for RNRC. Is this to offset Muppets closing for a fore longed period of time ... or is it to offset a RNRC closure & help crowd flow on that side of the park.

Is this why Lighting McQueen closes in a Month? Is Sunset Showcase getting completely redone? IDK if it has room for a full Musical as of now.....I hope the show finds it's way to the official Villains Land once that opens up in MK.

Villains is replacing Racing Academy.
I meant Lighting McQueen, Sorry!

They're the same thing. Villains is going into Sunset Showcase, and it's just to give another new offering in 2025 to draw some crowds from Universal

What do Lightning Mqueen or Aerosmith have to do with Sunset Boulevard?
Yes. My question is Sunset Showcase getting rebuilt for this?

What do you mean by rebuilt? It’s not getting leveled or anything, but the interior will certainly be reconfigured.
What's the capacity of Racing Academy now? Will it be enough for a Full Villains Musical?
They’re probably going to add actual seats rather than keeping the bleacher seating they had for Racing Academy.

I'm not sure what the actual capacity is, but I'd estimate from eyeballing it that each of the existing three sections of seating can hold ~75-100 people, so maybe ~225-300? That would put it somewhere around half the total capacity of MuppetVision. However, I imagine the entire thing will be reconfigured. The wraparound curved screen and animatronic dais take up space that they can easily free up now, and they'll probably want more traditional theater seating rather than the benches they currently have.
