The Comedy Warehouse returns to Disney's Hollywood Studios for the holidays

[dolce20]

I don't get how it fits into the Studios. CW is wonderful but not a theme park thing in my opinion. If they need to fill space or give holiday guests something to do, I would think/hope they could find something more fitting. If it did well last year then I understand repeating this year, but personally, a strange fit for me.

We have uncovered the final limited time magic of the year

Two years ago pretty much every show in SuperStar TV had to turn people away. Last year I saw probably half a dozen shows--all looked pretty full. So yeah, it's popular. Although, again, everything is popular Christmas week; WDW does whatever it can to increase capacity.

As for theme--DHS is devoted to entertainment in all forms. Movies, sure, but music and live theater as well (even notice the parking lots?). Improv comedy with a lot of musical interludes fits those latter two nicely.

[quotparticular 5803596, member: 7395"]I don't think so. This park desperately needs shows and attractions and I think it would be attended fairly well during the rest of the year. It might not fill up but I'm sure it would do fine for itself.[/quote]
THIS particular particular park needs more rides than shows.

If only video games could get a presence....

Makes no less sense than Mermaid, BatB, Sounds Dangerous, Toy Story MM, a giant hat...

Eh. They probably think video games are covered by DisneyQuest.

Comedy Warehouse Holiday Special to be part of FastPass+

Comedy Warehouse Holiday Special to be part of FastPass+

Probably unnecessary, but if it drives people to this show who otherwise wouldn't have found it, all the better.

Hopefully the tourists wont use this. Will make it even more difficult for locals to see the show, which I think has been the primary audience the last 2 years

Has it really been difficult for the locals to see it since it moved to the Premiere Theater? That place is huge and honestly I hope tourists do see it since that's the only demographic that WDW seems to try and appease so if they like it, atleast that's a few more people than the locals. Also if this FP+ works like the others for shows, they just enter through a separate entrance at the same time as the other stand by guests.

Oh I forgot it moved to the Premiere Theater last year. I was still thinking it was in the sound studio

Yeah, new theater gets busy, but don't know that it goes to capacity very often, unlike Sounds Dangerous did.

Or wastes fastpass because there is not enough rides in the park.

If you were not in line before the theater opened, you did not get in in 2011.

Premier Theater is so much better for this. Then they can also sell concessions before the show while folks wait. Between the Premier and Circle of Life Theaters, Disney could really beef up their entertainment options.

So did anyone check out the first day of performances today? Are the shows the same as years past or were there any differences?

 

[71jason]

Caught the first one. Stage virtually identical to last year. Same skits they've done since the first year (which are just thinly disguised versions of skits they did on the Island). Still very funny.

Knowing very little about Pleasure Island (unfortunately) are these the same actors who did shows there?

Yes. Revolving line-up, but I've yet to see someone who I know didn't work CW or at least looked familiar.

Saw this yesterday for the first time, theater was almost packed and everyone seemed to enjoy it a lot. Wish this was a year round show, improv/stage/comedy has a lot do with the workings of Hollywood & entertainment!
