When Disney started to bring out a strand of ride movies (POTC, HM, and I believe that a Jungle Cruise movie is in production), I thought that Fantasmic would be perfect film.

However, I feel that the musical would be better, if they can craft it right.

this thread might be moved to so you want to be an imaginear so watch out for that

i think it is a great idea i would love to see it

sorcerormickey

08-14-2005, 12:22 PM

That would be a Fantasmic Idea!!!!. Just you would have to figure out how you would represent each part of the show. As in if you wanted to have all the parts of the show the same as they are then your stage would probably be a lake with a island in the middle of it. Technically specing a very complex design but would be interesting to see. I would definitely see it.:p

08-14-2005, 12:23 PM

No offense but in my opinion that sounds kinda dumb I don't know why people would make a musical of it if they did sure i'd check it out but they couldnt do everything all right and stuff...

linklewtt

08-14-2005, 04:18 PM

ya i dunno how you would do it. a big part of the show is water and that's impossible on a stage.

SubmarinemanKevin

08-14-2005, 04:59 PM

I know what ya mean man^^..

damxcnsxcn

08-14-2005, 05:06 PM

NO NO NO!! water is not impossible on stage! especially broadway. The play Metemorphoses by Mary Zimmerman is all done around a big pool of water. and then look at Las Vegas.
Cirque Du Solei's "O" is completely done on a water stage and it is huge.(so is the theater) so it can be done.
As well i think that this is a really good idea and YOU should really be a disney imagineer.

linklewtt

08-14-2005, 05:29 PM

what would the show be? the same thing as what's at disneyland already? that's just ludacris to have the same thing on a stage! ridiculous! sure it's possible to have water on stage, but they need to build a specific building to accomodate that. this fantasmic show would not be able to tour or anything. it just wouldn't work. plus we're not talking about just water. we're talking huge amounts of water. they have to spray up and act like a projection screen at times. plus, what about the finale with the Mark Twain? there's a word for this type of thing: impossible. accomodation could be made to have a show, but it's like what's the point if the show already exists at disneyland?

Disneyland_Wolf

08-14-2005, 05:31 PM

Well, it is a imagineering idea, but there is already a Fantasmic show in Disneyland, it is expensive to make each show $79,000.

Mousekiteer

08-14-2005, 06:42 PM

Interesting idea.
But some of us forget of something called Fantasia.:tongue:

linklewtt

08-14-2005, 07:45 PM

actually fantasmic and fantasia are nothing alike. fantasmic uses some elements maybe from fantasia, but other than that they are different.

Mousekiteer

08-14-2005, 09:29 PM

Well obviously.
I think that's as far as one would get with Fantasmic! on film. But even if the concept was used, characters animated with an updated orchestration, it just wouldn't be as impressive when it's performed live. If ever represented on film, one star plotless movie comes to mind.

SubmarinemanKevin

08-14-2005, 09:44 PM

Pretty much everyone doubts it gonna happen and why make Fantasmic on broadway have any of you read mouse tales it says Walt didn't want things like carnival etc.. Stuff like that Broadway would fall under that category...

jagfkb

08-15-2005, 12:57 PM

Thank you guys so much for being so helpful. I wasn't exactly thinking it would involve water really at all. Basically, i found i could replace all water related items beside fountians with other things such as replacing the mark twain with a castle or a big mickey hat. and it would be more than water screens ans such, it would be a big tribute to the park. The first act would contain a big musical revue, and the second act would contain the main story. you know how disney sometime toches you? well that's what i want to capture here. Please also review some of the scenes involved in the first message and state scenes you want to see or not see. please respond

damxcnsxcn

08-15-2005, 03:41 PM

again NOT IMPOSSIBLE! so what? this show does not have to tour! As a matter of fact it would do great at Las Vegas. A show like this would do so well and make so much bank! it would be great as an add on theater at the Mandalay Bay or Venitian

linklewtt

08-15-2005, 08:17 PM

disney at vegas? that's just weird. and, by the way, what IS the story? Fantasmic has a thread of storyline, mostly it's tributes to Disneyland. and tributes are not broadway hits. maybe if you can think of a plausible story, i'd go for it. but have you noticed that Fantasmic is not a play, but just a musical entertainment. a broadway show is part play, part music. this does not describe Fantasmic!

damxcnsxcn

08-15-2005, 10:09 PM

not weird man. just different. dman you people dont know how to think, imagine, and have fun. believe me it would do well. like the Pirate stunt show at the mirage.

linklewtt

08-15-2005, 11:02 PM

oh ya, if you're talking like that man then i'm sure it would do well. a show like that would be big. but disney in vegas...they would never go for it.

fantasmic lover

08-16-2005, 01:07 AM

i think it's interesting. not vegas tho. please not vegas. i don't think disney would fit in very well there. just curious - what would you do instead of the fountains and waterscreens and all the water related stuff?

damxcnsxcn

08-16-2005, 02:19 AM

okay maybe not las vegas, but its not like its being constructed this moment. however they could still keep the water screens and fountains. wanna know why and how? okay, the reason is the can control the climate! at disneyland they always make the disclaimer 10 mins b/f the show starts saying that you may get wet. well this is because of possible winds during the show. well in a theater they can control that. and if water still gets in the audience, so what? where a poncho.

Disneyland_Wolf

08-16-2005, 02:26 AM

Umm....Las Vegas should have not Disney stuff there, Maybe the old Treasure Island will fit the theme for Disneyland. Remember the old pirate show and the themeing of the show?! POTC style. Anyhoo, Fantasmic should not belong there. I don't gamble, I am not 21 or older yet to gamble. The desert is way too hot for Disney shows in summer. Only good in winter.

jagfkb

08-16-2005, 05:34 AM

By the way, Disneyland Guy, your icon looks a bit like it's on a stage instead of water. All i need to do now is to remove the bridge and center the towers. Thanks for the creative insperation! By the way, vegas (despite the gambling) is a great place to have the show. I could be able to have a theatre built just for fantasmic! other wise broadway is my big goal. However, i might want to try it out. perhaps in Disneyland at the Hyperoin Theatre? or, replace the vegas idea with disney! yay! :biggrin:
Please keep replying!

How is it a musical if the orchestra is just going to play music and no one singing? Even if they try to sing, it would be hard as they would have to get GAZILLIONS of singers. It just wouldn't be right... And plus Disney is currently working on Little Mermaid and Tarzan as their newest broadway musical, so they are focusing on that.

Oh, and to someone who said that broadway is a carnival, how the HECK is broadway a carnival? There are VERY talented people singing/acting, and no "party" atmosphere.

jagfkb

08-19-2005, 05:10 AM

If you ever saw Mamma Mia, you would know that it sometimes seems that one person is on stage, but the entire company is singing. That's the soulution for singing, and there will probably not be an orchestra. I might use that space for fire & fountians. But maybe there will be an orchestra. and remember, you can always record voices as well.

I like the musical idea. I also tought something similar about it on a "Disney On Ice" version.

Hey guys! It's me. I just want to announce that pictures of the set for the show will be posted soon. I've been working on a mini version of the stage & set. I have also thought of some ideas for songs. Please Post!

niicceee. cant wait. this idea of fantasmic as a broadway show is so cool!!

jagfkb

Sometime tonight, the pictures will be posted. Here are the scenes i will take pictures of:
Opening
Circle of Life

Hawaiian Roller Coaster
Act One Opening
Be Our Guest
Princess Ball
Magic Mirror
Dragon
Finale
If there are anymore scenes you would like to see pictures of, please post them on this thread sometime before 5:00. thanks, and who knows, there might be a few suprise scenes in there to. Also, i use legos as actors, just so you can see how big the stage is.

Fantasmic17

08-31-2005, 03:44 PM

That would be excellent but you would have to have an outside stage just like the one in Disneyland.

Fantasmic17

08-31-2005, 03:46 PM

Fantasmic! on film is an absolutely horendous idea! It would take away the magic and imagination from the original in California (much like the Disney World version did). It would lose the wole aspect and feel of it.

TsWade2

09-01-2005, 05:35 PM

Oh, I love the broadway version idea. You can put that on Broadway, New York. And don't listen to those people. They're just being hatred, just like in Miceage. By the way, are you going to make a script of it? I can't wait!

I think you should add Peter Pan and Mickey's friends. Just a thought. By the way, here's another parody of the Tony Awards.

Here are the nominees for best Leading Actor in a Musical:

Cheyenne Jackson from All Shook Up

David Larsen from Good Vibrations

Mickey Mouse from Fantasmic! The Broadway Musical

Michael Minarik from Little Women

Stephen Patterson from Little Women

And the Tony winner for best Leading Actor in a musical goes to:
MICKEY MOUSE

jagfkb

09-05-2005, 01:34 PM

Good Idea. I was thinking that maybe I would replace the Flowers scene with a Mickey Mouse Club cheer. Peter Pan would be too hard, and I want to keep to what I have and not change.

TsWade2

09-19-2005, 06:53 PM

WHEE! That's an excellent idea!

jagfkb

09-20-2005, 03:35 AM

really? well, i'm not very sure how it will fit in. But here are some ideas:
There wil be one scene where peter pan & captian hook fight over the audience's heads, and the castle will be used as the pirate ship. the part where hook is clinging on to the rope will be also over the audience's heads. Well, what do you think?

Fantasmic Disneyland
Fantasmic Disney World
Remember Dreams Come True
Animazement
Aladdin
Beauty & the Beast
Mickey's Philhar Magic
Voyage of the Little Mermaid
Lilo & Stitch
The Little Mermaid
There are probably alot more. I'm using alot of different scenes & songs By the way, i'm also thinking of adding the aladin scene in animazement? I'm thinking of using it with the jafar scene. Any comments?

Alex_Toto_Disneyland

09-23-2005, 03:32 PM

Ok. I'm Sorry about saying you obsessed but how are going to include Rmrmber Dreams Come True

jagfkb

09-24-2005, 05:02 AM

Very good question. i'm going to make Remember...Dreams Come True the opening & closing. Fire works will be projected on the walls ans sides of the theatre. Also, since i'm using a different opening, the only line i will use is: Imagination, and Mickey appearing. any more questions?

this whole idea is great! its just that is kind of funny that julie andrews is the spokesperson for every disney show. IF any of you go to Knotts Scary Farm: Halloween Haunt and see the Hanging, they make fun of julie andrews so BAD!!! they also make fun of DL shows like fantasmic.

NOW, i love DL but they way they made fun of it was SO FUNNY!! i couldn't stop laughing!

The Hanging 2005
"The Happiest Hanging on Earth"
-only at Knotts Scary Farm

Nightly at: 8:00pm, 9:30pm, and 11:00pm
at Calico Square City Hall/ Small World Mall (you'll know what i mean if you see it)

**THIS SHOW IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN UNDER 13 DUE TO ADULT LANGUAGE, GRAPHIC COMEDIC VIOLENCE/GORE, AND PERVASIVE SEXUAL INNUENDOS** - but ohhh so very funny!

jagfkb

10-31-2005, 02:54 PM

i thought it was sad at the dragonslaying part
what do you mean by sad? speaking of the dragon scene, the dragon't head will be able to hover over the stage with above supports. The dragon will breath fire, and gigantic fountians will make the dragon disappear, like in the WDW version, which personally i like better, because the sequence is longer, and the fountians are gigantic. anyway, i just recently saw a musical called: The woman in White, well let's just say that the set has inspired me. it's basically this gigantic half circle with a movie projected on it, but it feels so real! honestly, go see it if you are in the city, but the set might change, so just giving you a head's up! ok, i'll stop talking now, just Post!

jagfkb

12-18-2005, 03:20 AM

Peter Pan Part:
Urdsula disappears, and a pirate ship appears. Mickey is then captured by Captian hook, and then Peter Pan and wendy rescue him.

Ending:
I decided that a boat wouldn't fit in with my Fantasmic, since there is little water, so i originally made a big Sorceror Mickey Hat that everyone came out of. Then that didn't work, so i made a big Sleeping beauty castle.

k_peek_2000

12-18-2005, 09:01 AM

12-26-2005, 04:54 AM

you know, i was thinking of having a big mickey blow-up come from under the hat and the hat will lift up in the air, but i like the castle idea better. just so you guys know, i take a vacation to disneyworld every february. fantasmic will be on hiatus until then, due to the hustle & bustle of the holiday season. don't think that you can't post ideas still or stuff like that, you can still do that, and i will still listen to you.

really? that sounds cool i'll check it out. anyway, hi everyone. i'm back from my vacation. i saw Fantasmic 3 times. the first time, only one of mickey's hands shot out fire works and the snake didn't move. the second time, the snake still didn't move and only one eye lit up. the third time, everythin went perfect. I also have many new ideas including a Cinderella sequence and a tiki Room song. i aslo made up new parts for the storyline. They really are good. i'm also thinking about cutting my mermaid sequence and putting in small world. anyway, i'll talk to you guys later. bye

um, ok. anyway, i just wanted to announce, i have the first two scenes all set up with music and set. the songs for these scenes are Remember... dreams come True, The Tiki room and Pink Elephants. here's the laydown for the second scene. the tiki birds are in there doing there song, when a gigantic elephant head appears. pink elephants scare the birds away, but by the end, the elephants and the birds are all dancing.
P.S.
I'm using the full versions of both songs. and also, 100 posts!!!!!!

Um...lol ok- first off, good idea, but get some good quality stes up and not legos to really get an audience. Personally I don't ever see this show going off because Disney would NEVER invest into it- sad but tru-e but keep dreaming! Your creative like me!

Fantasmic! is strictly, in my eyes just for Disney. It would take the magic out of the park!! After being in Fantasmic! for 3 years in MGM Studios (WDW Orl. Resort) I always had the the feeling of magic on stage because I was in WDW. It wouldn't seem right.
Beside, copyright etc...

I think something totally new and exciting should be done, not just a remake of the current show at DL. I much rather see a really good snow white production or sleeping beauty show instead of just another Fantasmic show.

04-11-2006, 02:53 AM

Maybe I should explain, this isn't just regular Fantasmic, this is also a bunch of Disney movies as well. Let me explain, you see, all the Disney characters live in a place called Imagination. Mickey is the ruler of Imagination. All the villians have been shut up in Villians Mountian after they tried to destroy Imagination with the Magic Mirror, which has also been destroyed. While Mickey & such celebrate with songs, dance and such, the evil queen is collecting the pieces of the mirror. once the mirror is back, Mickey starts to battle all the different Villians. I've included Ursula, Captian Hook, Jafar, and Melifecent. Also, all the villians, except for Melifecent, have a song from their movie before they actually appear, for example, One Jump is before Jafar, Poor Unfortunate Souls is before Ursual, and Yo Ho A Pirates Life for me is before Captian Hook. get it? got it? Good!

04-15-2006, 12:29 PM

Sure this may not sound like the biggest new musical on Broadway, but it'll make alot more sense if you are watching everything from an audience point of view. btw, alot of the scenes will use projection screens, so like in Topsy Turvy, the backround will be projected. Same with many other things. also, alot of flying will happen in the show so that'll be cool.

I dont mean to sound ruude here, or "crush your idea" or what not. But Fantasmic--"The Broadway Musical" is in my oppnion is going to flop (If evere alowwed on Bradway by the Disney Execs.) Fantasmic is a special show, that is unique to Disneyland (MGM-Fantaasmic Incuded), it is meant to be on the rivers of america, not in some theatre in New York.

Also, you seem like a pretty creative kid; you could be doing soemthing much more orginal than tkaing Fantasmic to boradway.

jagfkb

05-16-2006, 03:24 AM

Thank you for your opinion, please remember that this is NOT the exact same thing as DL's or MGM's. This includes so much more than the current shows. It has clips from other movies and Dl shows. trust me, it wouldn't flop.

Also, about the Mulan Idea, I was thinking either one of two sequences
1. A giant symbol rings and bustling China is revealed. The entire Honor to us all song is played. After that, we hear an explosion in the Matchmaker's house and mulan and her come out. Mulan then sings Reflection.

2. A giant symbol rings and the ancestors appear. there is some comic relief in this scene, and then, mushu is sent to get mulan. you then see her practicing being a male. The entire scene with mushu takes place, and mulan goes to the camp. They sing Let's get down to buisness and they dissappear.

Which one do you like better guys?

05-30-2006, 05:15 AM

Hold on, strike that. I'm going to change that. The mountian is now Adventure Mountian. Villian Mountian will be a separate mountian that is not an actual set, but is projected onto a screen. Anyway, Hi everyone! It's me again. Fantasmic is going great. Just so you guys all know, i'm going to be moving to another town this summer. Yay me, since now i have a larger room! Anyway, my mom wants me to put away Fantasmic until we get settled into the new house, so Fantasmic will be put on Hiatus until maybe around Late Septemer, Early October. Just like the last time, keep posting ideas & stuff like that. I'll still be posting on this site & such. Ok, that's about it. Bye!

The sequence maybe that she has dragon like abilities, and she maybehigh in the air, or on the ground. Still, the dragon scene seems pretty classic to the entire show, so we'll see. It's a possibility. I may update my set photos on the site before i start my break. The set has changed so much.

hey guys! My website will be getting new pictures of the brand new set maybe by the end of today! Also, Melifecent will be more a pupet then a set. the actress who plays Melifecent will also control the puppet. Also, the show is now almost complete. The set needs one more finishing touce, and the script is about 1/2 complete. It should be done by the end of the year. Then, I'll make a trip to Disney's headquarters and present my idea. keep checking back!

Ok, i have decided to put a couple new things in , plus one new song, and a sub story to act one!
1: The entire time, Mickey will be trying to find a place to propose to Minnie Mouse, instead of showing us around Fantasmic.

2: After Under the Sea, the song April Showers will be added as a dance for the Dream Catchers to sing to Minnie & Mickey.

3: Instead of opening Act Two with the Cinderella segment, it will go right to the Queen in Villians Mountian, then it wil go to Cinderella.

4: In the Princess part, it will now be the wedding for Mickey & Minnie, but it's interupted by he Magic Mirror.

5: the show wil end with Mickey and Minnie kissing with fireworks in the backround.

I think the idea is cool except how are you gonna make the disney characters? It would look weird to see Mickey Mouse look different than how he looks in the park? And if you use the park costumes the actors won't be able to talk! It just won't work the way it does in the park. And nobody wants to see a show with a recorded track, that would be a rip off! So I think the show would be cool but you have to think of how to portray the disney characters.
you know, i was thinking the same thing too. Then, I got the idea. Why not be creative? Instead of having a full head, only have a head piece that would only have the roof of the mouth & up. there won't be any recorded voices, everything will be 100% actor.

pdxoracle

Of course it would be imporobable that you actually gain the rights from Disney Co., but for giggles, I'll give you a little all a little booster.

I have been a Disney fan all my life. I'm 24 now and have worked in Disney World and visited all of the N. American parks. When I was 9(?), my first trip to Disneyland, I was obsessed with Fantasmic. I knew more about the show at that time than most of the vendor/operator employees... and I'd never even seen the show! Why the info? It shows my undying passion for this 25 minute wonder. (And in theatre, as I am a scenic/lighting designer and composer... THANKS to my love for Disney!)

First, you don't NEED water. You could very well use liquid lighting effects and a haze machine. This would thicken the air for volumetric lighting during the Ursula Sequence and for Ariel's song in the Princess Medley, and create a distorted view as if you were in the water with them.

Secondly, the show doesn't HAVE to have two acts. If it's spectacular enough, you could stretch it (maybe add some scenes and explain plot points in more detail,) to about 60-90 mins. Entr'actes are fun to compose, but sometimes aren't needed. :)

**In regards to lengthening, I believe the Princess Medley could be a full, 4 min. song if a central theme (the Fantasmic Fanfare, but slowed with harp & piano) were used to bridge them, with a thick fanale of all the princesses singing at counterpoint... just a thought. :)**

Third... Set design. The mountain in MGM (I know, you all boo and hiss, but I liked the show...) is a great central piece, but why not make it a character? If the whole set were a mountain, each new scene could be contained in different parts of it. Some components could simply be revealed, like compartments, and some could be pushed forward. Oh! And the Demon from Night on Bald Mountain (Fantasia,) who is 'built' into the mountain in the movie, could appear out of the peak. Ghosts could be flown around the audience; as we know Disney Theatricals LOVES to bring the show into the house.

Fourth, eliminate the projections. Remember, we're not talking abridgement anymore. The show is in a smaller space, and can be realized without them: we have a grid (theatre term for ceiling grid used for lighting instruments, rags (curtains) and flywires.) In a previous post for a thread about Fantasmic II, someone said to add pink elephants flying around instead of video. You could do that in a theatre, easily.

Fifth... pyrotechnics. Difficult because of the amazing stuff you see in the park's show. You would have to dumb the rockets down to about 15 feet (instead of 40,) move them further back from the audience, and thin them out. There is a benefit for being in a closed space, however: structure. Disney has been unable, because of proximity, to use aerial charges, at least powerful ones. But in a theatre, charge packets can be stored anywhere, even right above the audiences heads, safely. Truly, if done with care and planning, the pyro in a theatrical production could be more awe-inspiring.

Sixth: Effects! This is where the theatre truly shines over outdoor venues. You could cut two measures from the score during the change from Evil Queen to Hag and make it even more dramatic. I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but that transformation takes a bit too long for me. The Peter Pan sequence would be more enjoyable, as it would be static and the audience would have a full view of the action. Also, some water jets could be installed in the floor (hidden by traps until that segment) for cannon 'blasts.' Last but most Certainly not least: The dragon. Maleficent's transformation would be phenomenal, of course. And the dragon itself could be stored in the grid above the stage, and therefore be a very detailed and impressive character. As for the fire, the dragon could spew a bit and the mountain could slowly catch fire with the use of fire pots installed in the crags of the mountain.

**I think the Pocahontas segment could be added with some tweaks, and the action for that would be more exciting because you are close enough to see it. (I was in the third row for MGM's show, and I still could barely make out the characters... I think that had a lot to do with the disinterest in said segment.)**

Seventh and final: Performance and Vocals! Themes can be added to the (obviously prominent) Fantasmic Fanfare, musical numbers could be lengthened and mixed with these themes... but the best part of all is that the characters are actually singing and acting. I LOVE Disney, but the whole princess gesticulating thing has gotten old. :icon_roll To have them speaking and singing would be a great thing. Also, you wouldn't have that WAY too perfect Disney chorus in the background. You would have the mixture of the character voices (btw - Mickey should, of course, be dubbed, as well as any other character which wears a headed costume,) which is, in my eyes, more attractive than a generic choral group. Not to mention the live orchestra. I know Disney has a great sound system employed, but there's nothing like hearing a live orchestra.

**For the fanale, I think the characters should enter the audience with the original DL choreography from Steamboat Willie/Mark Twain (as it is simple, and would be entirely possible in the aisles.) After "why do they all.. come.. true?" and Mickey makes his entrance (a Steamboat on stage is entirely possible, and I think it should be honored as an 'easter egg' from the original show,) the cast returns to the stage for some choreography during the initial fireworks. During the final swell, the cast would exit the stage and allow Sorcerer Mickey to appear at the mountain top, closing the show with lasers and pyro.**

-A NOTE: The original pre-show (band onstage) should be used. I do not believe there should be a grand rag (main curtain,) but rather the mountain, looming over the audience. Some simple lighting casting ominous shadows. The band should be on a rolling platform, to suggest the river. One more 'easter egg' for the show, a tribute to those who love and cherish the roots of Fantasmic!.-

SECOND THOUGHT -- I don't know how many of you have played Kingdom Hearts... but I think Mickey (I KNOW... don't say it's sacrilege) should be replaced by Sora, or just a simple boy (or girl?) who has gone to sleep and has started to dream. Mickey just seems TOO iconic... the general public may shy away from a show that is THAT streamlined. Adding an outside element worked for the games VERY well. Mickey just has too much power, the story is unbelievable, even as fantasy. If the child were involved with ALL of the segments, the final battle with Maleficent would be incredible. Not to say that our Main Mouse couldn't make an appearance, like handing Sora (or the Child) a sorcerer's hat during the fanale, his final reward and accomplishment.

Of course, the exit music with the electric guitars and rock band (+orchestra) should play as the Bows cue, possibly with a vocal, pyro/laser encore after cast bows.

Chorus: (Ahhs, tune of lyric "Beauty and the Beast")
(Fifth line, hold out strings and harp arpeggio)
Orchestra: "when you wish upon a star your dreams"
(Orch switches to follow)
Orch: "come... true!"
(Final theme movement, pyro, blackout.)

As per those who think this would be a spendy production, I'll remind you that spectaculars on Broadway are doing VERY well right now. Over $14 million was spent on Wicked's creation (copyright©2005 Wicked, LLC) and it made its production cost back within a year. That is UNHEARD of, but lately these productions are doing better and better. Personally, I think it's the fact that special effects have gotten to the point that the audience can't make them out -- like a great grand magic show. A show like this would most likely spawn productions in LA, Chicago, London and touring casts.

Well, there's my advice. :)

Thanks for listening to my meandering... I would love some feedback.

Those are all amazing ideas! Honestly, they are. I see your point about the projections, and will not use them anymore as the only thing onstage, rather have them in small places here and there. Also, Maleficent will be the actual dragon, as she will wear a dragon costume, but still, she will be flown up into the air. All the headed characters will not be dubbed, but have actual actors play them. The costumes would reveal their faces, almost like the Lion King. Almost all the segments will be in the show, only they maybe in different places or with different music. So the princess segment will have a different song.The queen won't have a transformation, for isn't it a little uneccesary?There will be a mountian, but it will also be a castle as well. Most scenes wil take place around the mountian. There won't be any water, but your idea was great! Otherwise, great ideas!

jagfkb

08-26-2006, 12:41 PM

Ok guys, i went on vacation, and i came up with many ideas! First off, Sora will be a character in the show! He won't look the same though. Second, most off the songs in ACt One have been cut, and some, brought back to life! Also, the three villians have been deleted, and instead, there will be new ones. Maleficant will be known as Nella Witchcraft, Ursula will be known as Raven Damage, and Captain hook will be Captain Ross Bones. They will wear costumes similar to the original villians. Also, A whole New World and To Be Free, two songs that were cut, will now be put back in and will be sung by sora and Ella, the heroine of Fantasmic. You're right, Mickey is too powerful, so why not have Sora save the day with Ella? The roles of Mulan, Mulan's mother, Jasmine, aladdin, Jafar, The evil queen, Cinderella and Prince Charming will all be cut! Instead, ella will be the parts of mulan, cinderella,and jasmine, making her almost an ultimate disney princess, and the roles of the price and aladdin will be replaced by sora! mulan's mother will be played by Lady Tremaine, and the two villians have been cut! Topsy turvy, Hawaiian Roller Coaster, Cave of Wonders, and possibly under the sea, Animazement, and Tritons Kingdom will be cut! More to come!

They probably weren't banned because of this thread. anyway, i've also decided to add some new special effects, such as the pumkin changing into the coach, and, one that i'll explian to you right now, the dragon sequence. nella, will have a long cape over her dress and cape. she already hs the dragon's head on her and begins to fly upward. a large cloth spreads around in back of her. the villians laughing is projected here. then, the projection changes to her as the dragon on vilian's mountian. all the sudden, the sheet around her disappears, and so does her cape. her dress no looks like the dragon's neck, and her arms are now the dragon's wings. her dress streches down to the floor, and a large rock appears with her hands. kindda cool huh? i will also be adding a plot section to my website, along with new pics of the set!

Fantasmic on Broadway? Wierd.......
Why not just keep it in a theme park setting like intended? I can't really see it working outside of a theme park and I'll tell you why.
1)Fantasmic is such a good show because of the special effects involved within it, IE the boats drifting across the water, the fireworks, as well as the mist projections. You just can't do that indoors, unless of course you built a stage specifically for it.
2)While fantasmic does have a story, its not quite a story you can compact the grandeur into something ideal for broadway, lengthen the story, and still pass it off as a quality play.
3)Broadway musicals have a higher adult audience then children and families, something with mickey would just seem wierd.

While I think you can take the idea of Fantasmic and turn it into a play (mickey and his nightmare) I don't feel that you could turn it into a very good play on the level of Lion King, or make it as good as the original show itself. Some of your ideas are good, but I'm not sure if it will exactly be able to pull it off in the same way the show does. Anyways, good luck with the project.

jagfkb

09-05-2006, 06:13 PM

Really, the only things that really relate to the original Fantasmic are the villians trying to take over. Other then that, the show had just taken it's own feet and gone away from some of it's original concepts. The theme music is also the same.

Hey veryone! I thought I would share with you the plot and a song list!
Overture
Remember... Dreams Come True
One Jump
The Tiki Room/ Pink Elephants
Some Day my prince will come
Animazement
To Be Free
A whole new world
I won't say I'm in love
Little April Showers
It's A Small World/Act One Finale

Intermission

Entracte/Villian's Mountian
Nella's Lair
A dream is a wish your heart makes
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo
Ballroom Suite
Beautiful
Magic Mirror
Poor Unfortunate souls
Bella Note
Nella's Song
Nella the Dragon
Fantasmic Finale

Ok, here's the plot for Fantasmic:

The show opens up wit the exit music from the Dineyland show. On a large map, everything that happpens before the actual show is shown: The creation of Fantasmic, and the battle between goood and evil, with Mickey triumphing in the end. The screen rises to reveal Imagination aka Sleeping Beauty's castle. The opening number consists of the dream cactchers aka Mickey's Army, and Mickey coming bck in a spectacular Fashion. It ends, and Minnie comes up to Mickey and starts to talk about how she's missed him. Mickey then tells her tht there is going to be a grand parade in the village for his return tommorow, and then after, a special suprise. Minnie runs off excited. Mickey then leaves Donald and Goofy to organize the parade.

PART TWO TO COME SOON!

Hold on guys, I just came up with an idea that is sure to please you. Insead of having the entracte, I think I'll put a bit of WDW's Fantasmic in there. Ok, Mickey Mouse goes into his bedchamber. Then, the opening from Fantasmic starts. The bed disappears, and you see a Dream Mickey. The music starts and he rises up onto a mountain, where fountainscome up. Then, the flowers come on. You then see Dream Mickey & Minnie dancing, when all of the sudden, The jungle music starts. The dream catchers come on, and starts dancing. They continue to dance until right before the under the sea song. Then, a large curtain covers the stage. Yu see numerous fish, and then you see Dram Mickey again, swimming from this curtian. Then, the Monstro music starts. At the very end, when his tail splashes, Mickey flies into the air, when a large whirlpool is seen. It sucks Mickey up, but you can still se his upper body. He then says, "Hey, what's going on, uh oh." The entire stage goes dark, and when the lights come on, we see Nella Witchcraft and her servent,
Horace standing on the top of the bed. Nella then says, "Who knew that Meleficent could come back from the dead through someone's dream?" However, he does't have horns, and she looks like a tenager. She then finds her old tower, and creates a potion that will turn her back to her former power. However, there's a glitch. She can't get her power back, until all the pieces of the Magic Mirror are put back together. She then starts to find all the pieces.

So, Have I put Fantasmic back to it's former glory?

I also came up with some casting ideas for this show:
Mickey-Patrick Page (he was playing the role of scar on broadway)
Minnie-Jennifer Gambetsee (Jane in Tarzan)
Sora-Zack Effron
Ella-Ashley Tisdale
Nella-Vannesa Anne Hudgens
Fairy Godmother-Monique Coleman
Nichloas/Horace-Lucas Grabiel

Other roles include Donald, Goofy, Lady Tremaine, Tinker Bell, The Dragon, The Stepsisters, The matcmaker, The tiki Birds, The pink elephants, and the dream catchers, which i was thinking Dylan & Cole Sprouse, Miely Cyrus, and Emily Osment could play. I know it's alot of Disney Channel, but it's what I could think of. Also, I should be done with a storyboard for Fantasmic, and would like to present my idea to Disney by next June! Yay Me!

I'm sorry but dont you want ppl who can do the voices of the disney characters? Like you could have an audition and just have ppl act out certain characters while doing the voices, they don't have to be ppl who are already famous actors...like i know somebody who can do an AMAZING mickey mouse impersonation and lol he can do minnie too...well he can pretty much do any disney voice but like he's not famous but he's talented and it would be strange to have a mickey who has a voice as raspy as scar!! That would sound strange.

Actually, his voice isn't raspy, and also, I don't want Mickey's voice to be the same as he is in cartoons. Mickey & Minnie aren't young and youthful anyomre, don't get me rong, they aren't 80+. They're more around 50, early 60.

Exactly why I chose her for the part, ad some insperation from r&H's Cinderella with Whitney Housten. She will also play Grace, Ella's friend. In the role of Fairy Godmother, not only will she help get Ella to the ball on time, bt get Sora to realize his love for Ella, and help him defeat Nella. She will also do alot of dancing in the show.

TSWade2, Ella is the heroine of Fantasmic, not Ella Enchanted. Second, I just thought they would be good for the parts. And there wil bea pirate part. Nella's servant & her henchmen will come to neverland island, and as the ship is leaving neverland, sora, ella, and the lost boys will attack. the action won't take place on the ship, but rather to the side of it.

No, it's alright. Also, the names of the fairy godmother and Nella's servant will be changing (Horace & Fairy godmother) due to the logo contest. Since only one person entered, he won 1st & 2nd prizes. Also, If anyone new contact information to people in Disney Theatrical, please post it!. It's almost time to present.

*UPDATE* The Fairy Godmother's name is Theodora, and Nella's servant's name is Gwill. Also, the song Candle on the Water will be added to the score for the opening number. Theodora will sig it to Minnie, who is depressed from the fact that Mickey has not returned from war.

Changing set slightly. Also decided to replace Dream is a Wish your heart makes with Brazzle dazzle day, from pete's dragon. I aslo put many of the songs that would be in fantasmic on a cd and played it for my dad. he said he didn't like pink elephants on parade, little april showers, or Bella Note. April Showers will stay, but pink elephants, and the tiki bird song that went with it have been cut. So, does anyone have a favorite song that would fit into a situation where Mickey would be on a dae with minnie? Thanks!

Honestly, I think Fantasmic would be great on broadway. You've got some great ideas, except for one. What makes you think Vanessa Hudgens could play the evil character? I think Ashley Tisdale would fit the part of Nella better.

jagfkb

02-23-2007, 04:48 AM

I have been thinking about the casting some more and realized that, just lke you said, Vannessa should play Ella and Ashley Tisdale should play Nella. However, after making this decision, I looked at the story and realized that the character of Nella is not a teenager, nor is she an old woman. she's probably in her early 20's and thereore should be played by someone who looks like they are in their early 20's. After looking at various actresses, I thought abou having Jenn Gambettsee, who plays Jane in Tarzan, should fit te role perfectly. Here's the most up-to-date cast list:
Theodora-Raven Symone
(After deciding that Eden Espinosa just couldn't quite fit this role, Raven Symone poped into my head, since she plays a role which is much like Theodora on thats So Raven; a gil who had many powers, a good sense of humor, an a big attitude, but she also knows much information.)
Walter-Lucas Gabriel
(I decided to split the role of Sora into two new characters, one who is nice & saves the day, and another who is pushy, thinks too much of himself, and in the end, realizes his wrongs and departs Fantasmic)
Sora-Zac Effron
Ella-Vannessa Anne Hudgens
Mickey Mouse-...well, I' not quite sure who should play this role. He must be older loooking then Minnie, but have a tenor voice. Any ideas?
Minnie Mouse-Annilese De Vanderpol
(The older & more sopisticated Minni Mouse is a perfect fit for annilesse)
Nella-Jenn Gambettsee

I just cant stand this any longer, if you truly loved 'Fantasmic' why are you messing around with this whole musical bussiness. Fantasmic was designed for Disneyland and should only be presented on a way which is in someway directly related to Disney Parks and Resorts. the notion of putting Fantasmic on broadway, takes away the whole 'magic' of the show... and frankly, it sounds like your whole musical has nothing to do with anything, theres no plot, no storyline, and no true, orginal substance, all you are doing is taking every random Disney movie, and mushing it together into a musical that wont make any sense. Disney is about quality entertainment, and your propsed musical will show Disney's audience, that they are complelty out of ideas, so in turn are taking a theme-park show (that would only make sense in a themepark) and making it into a pointless, storyless musical.

I love Disneylands Fantasmic, not so much Dis/MGM's, but i simply love the show, and your putting it to shame by creating this musical. The true magic of 'Fantasmic' is created along and on the Rivers of America in Disneyland, CA. And not in some stuffy old theatre in mid-manhattan.

And Dude, Disney has made some lets just say quesonable deccisons in the past, but i gurantee you THAT THEY WILL NEVER PICK THIS SHOW UP...

Sorry if u find this is upsetting.... but it jsut needed to be said,

Sincerly.

I'm sorry, but you are wrong in several of your sentences. There IS a plot (although I can't reveal it right now), a storyline, and there is an oiginal substance: Disney magic. Fantasmic the musical is not Fantasmic without the water effects & placed on a broadway stage. You know what? Fantasmic is just the working title of my show. The name very well could change to Imagination, since the entire show takes place inside Walt Disney's imagination. The show takes many diferent popular ideas (Wishes) & story bits (a Fantasmic dream Sequence, Ella eating a poisoned apple) into one trly great musical. When I first started Fantasic, it WAS storyless, it had NO plot, No Important characters, and no ORIGINAL IDEAS! But now, i'm working on the story, then comes the music. And one more statement- I never said I loved Fantasmic when I first started tinker with the idea of creating a musical, I grew to love it over time, but the true Disney magic is what started me to create a musical. I never knew where it would take me, and I knew that many changes would be made. All i knew was that if I could mold the magic of Disney into probably one of the greatest art forms of all time, the musical, that wold be amazing. I'm not trying to start an argument ith you, but if you've been working on a muiscal based on something for over two years, it cannot only get better, but you will not like it when other people tell you that your idea stinks.

Thank you so much for hose words, MDF. Now for the new opening number for Imagination, the musical:

In the opening number now, Theodora shows the history of Imagination, starting with when one earth child is brought to Imagination in a large party as the princess of Fantasmic. Suddenly, a new villian appears, Nella Withcraft (a mixture of Melifecent, & the Evil Queen. A bit of ursula is in her too.) Nella is angry that she was not invited to the party, and vows an evil curse on the new child. A young boy named sora tries to save the child, but he cannot stop Nella, who is far too powerful. She then takes over Imagination, sending Mickey Mouse & the Dream Catcers off to war. While he is away, Minnie consults Jimminy Cricket, now a wise old man living near the castle, about what she should do with the child. Jimminy suggests to announce that the chid had died, but really the child would be taken care onf by him by the castle. Then, have a child take the place of the earth child on the throne, until they are old enough to marry. Finally, they get married, and become the new kings & queens of Imagination. Minnie agrees with the idea, and asks who should take the earth child's place. Jimmminy rcommends Sora, who is actually Jimminy's son. After the plan is put into effect, mickey defeats Nella after a 14 year war and sets sail for home.

Is is alot for an opening sequence? Definately. The entire sequence will probably be over 20 minutes long. However, it's the best way to begin this truly epic tale. Any coments?

Don't worry, I feel comfortable about talking about my age. Yes, I am 13, and my "workshop" cast consists of my friends who go to my theatre camp. Rockland community College is a theatre near my theatre camp and me and my friend were considering asking our producer if we could perform the show ther, but it looks like we might be performing somewhere closer. What show are we performing? Well Fantasmic the musical was a 2 act 2 1/2 hour musical with the storyline i had been creating on this site. Imagination the musical is a 1 act, 90 minute version of Fantasmic with just a couple of sogs and scenes cut out. They're basically the same thing, only Imagination is the new working title of his project, since I'm not only including Fantasmic, but Wishes, and alot of songs Disney on Broadway shows. Here's a song list:
Overture
Wishes!
Ella (Belle, only with new lyrics)
Forest Chant (Grassland Chant from Lion King)
Anything Can Happen (Mary Poppins the musical)
Poor unfortunate souls
He lives in you
Fantasmic Dream Ballet
For the first Time (Tarzan the musical)
Beautiful (Song from the Jim Brickman CD)
If I Can't Love Her (Beauty & the Beast the musical)
Nella the Dragon
Fantasmic Finale
The scripts are first being passed out to my cast members, and once the entire show is handed to them and I have a chance to fine tune it, Ill post it on my website. The set will be much simpler, with no major special effects. The set will be this large sort of stair case with landings on it. There will also be a large variety of cloth effects in the show (like tarzan). Keep posting!

The staircase which is mentioned in the script will resemble the mountians and hills, which large pieces of fabric coming out of them for certain scenes. The mountian which Nella is on in the battle sequence will be a movable ladder decorated as a black, mountian. everything is very simplistic. Also, let me explain young walter and walter. Walter isn't really Walt Disney, but he does play an important part later in the show. Also, the real walt disney is seen later in the show (Act One Finale) and is voiced by the person who plays walter. kinnda get it?

I hate to be a wet blanket, but anything involving Disney characters, themes, songs/music, or imagery is very tightly copyrighted. This was fun as an idea, but I'm afraid if you mount a production you could get into a great deal of trouble.

The songs you're using aren't just Disney songs. Each has a set of composers and some are even represented by different record labels. You might be safe if you remove all central characters; you could still use the songs but the imagery would have to change. Even then you'd be violating copyrights in a time where copyright laws are very strict. I read some of the script you've been creating -- do you know anyone who composes? You're not bad with a pen, and if you found someone good on a piano you might have a fun origianal musical on your hands. I'm seriously concerned about your going forward with this.

I once mailed Hyperion (disney's literary company) for special rights to produce Beauty and the Beast (abridged broadway version) at a middle school for one perfomance, and they warned me very sternly that I shouldn't even think about it until the rights were released, and that the production could not be changed, even if I wasn't charging anything.

I seriously reccomend you not go through with this. In fact, I'm surprised someone hasn't stopped you yet -- the fines for such an infraction are upwards of $100k and 10 years in prison/juvenile facility. As I said before: try writing your own show, don't lean on Disney. You have the passion and drive of a true artist... don't throw that away on a rehash of someone else's work. Especially with such risk involved.

jagfkb

04-20-2007, 10:26 AM

You're very right. Infact, I've been trying to get someone who could help me write an original score. Also, this wouldn't be a full prduction, but just a small, workshop play in which I could look at how people like my idea. Don't worry, if things are illegal, our producer, danielle, who is an adult, will tell us.

The Walter/Nella relationship boyfriend/girlfriend thing is a little fake. It's kinda drama-ish. Like...little kid-ish. Do you get what I'm saying? Maybe that part could be re-written a little to make it even better, to "plus" it.

Other than that I really love it. When will the rest of the script be ready? I'm anxious. LOL

First off, Walter/Nella aren't boyfriend and girlfriend. What happens is that after Walter creates Nella, and sees all the destruction which she causes, he feels terrible guilt, which will be seen in scene four. However, if you meant Walter and Ella, i've been working on how to make their ealtionship appear better in the script. Also, Mickey doesnot die. However, some characters do die. You'll see later on in the script.

06-15-2007, 03:15 AM

since I can't edit my past post, i just thought i'd let you kno i'm still working on Imaginaton and I have an updated plot:

The musical starts off with the Disney theatrical studios in upper manhatten. we soon find out that it's christmas eve and the head producer of Disney theatrical, known only as Schumacher, has called together many of the disney theatrical actors, directors, composers, and designers to hear his latest idea for a new musical. Right from the beginning, you can tell that almost every person there is miserable due to the lamenes of the material being given out to them. One person who is not miserable is schumacher's son Brynt, who is almost completely forbidden to sho any of hi own musical pieces to anyone at his father's office, even though everyone know that schumacher's son could produce Diney shows far better than his father, which worries schumacher as he faces one last shot at keeping his job. When the head of disney, mr yensid, arrives, the party guests find out that Brynt has been working on an original disney musical which would possibly save his father's job. When asked to present it by Mr. Yensid, Brynt uses a disney song book for a yet to be written score and the party guests as actors, including his father. Brynt quicky begins to draw everyone into his musical.

The play within the play is narated by a good sorceress named Theodora and takes place within walt disney's imagination, where walt's characters live & thrive in a kingdom ruled by a wise mickey mouse and an intelligent minnie mouse. As the kingdom reaches it's 100th birthday, Mickey and minne decide to adpot a girl who was found abandoned by a river and train her to become the heir to the throne. at the same time as her adoption celebration, a young boy named walter accidently creates an evil dictator known as nella when he puts his hand into a magical pool & wishes for something which could spare him fom hi evil brother.

When nella destroys his brother, walter takes her to the celebration, where she places a curse on the new heir to the throne & begins a 13 year war, in which walter becomes the new heir, the classic disney characters which also inhabited the kingdom are locked away by nella, and ella (the true heir) is given a new home within the castle a the daughter of the castle advisor, merlin. also, over the years of the war, walter develops a self guilt over the fact he created Nella. When mickey returns home, ella (a lover of the classic and locked away disney characters (and anything natural)) urges him to try and unlock the characters. Whe he says that he will try later, she & walter head into the forest, where ella is almost killed by a giant bird (sounds tacky, but really cool effect).

After she's saved by Walter, she laments over the fact she may never see the characters in her lifetime. When ella heads back to the castle, three henchmen of nella try and convice walter that they know how the characters could be unleashed. Walter agrees to steal an object from his father which can turn people's dreams into reality. back at the castle, mickey has just arrived back from trying to free the characters. when walter arives, mickey decides to teach his son about being king, when he suddenly realizes that he may not be fit for his job, due to the fact that he can't only teach his son but also can't free the characters. as mickey laments, walter steals the magical object. As he's about to hand it over to the henchmen, Walter is confronted by ella, who wishes to attend the welcome back carnival with him. He agrees to go as he hands the object to the henchmen. the henchmen then give a beautuul necklace to walter in exchange for the object.

As the citizens below enjoy the carnival, theodora, also the narrator if you remember, swoops down from the sky to comfort mickey, who seeks guidence from his long lost friend, walt disney. Theodora then brings back the spirit of walt, who warns mickey that his kingdom will be threatened again before the night is through. The act on curtain closes on an even more distressed mickey, walter realizing that he might have feelings of love for ella, and the henchmen sneaking into mickey's bed chamber.

Act two begins with a dream sequence in which the henchmen release what they had wanted all along: the spirit of nella, who once again plans to conquer the kingdom. the next morning, walter asks ella to the 113 Birthday celebration of the kingdom, he gives her the necklace which had been given to him by the henchmen, and ella realizes that she may have greater feelings for walter than expected. before the ball, nella realizes that she nolonger has her powers and the henchmen realize that the neckalce which they had given to walter was really a necklace which held nella's powers.

They attempt to get it back, but they realize that as long as the two are in love, there's almost no hope in getting the necklace back, until nella and an army of her henchmen invade the castle. walter and ella run into the atic of the castle, where nella (disguised as an old hag) gives ella a magic apple which puts ella into a spell which causes walter to believe that ella is dead. as the kingdom is slowly taken over, mickey comforts walter who tells mickey that he was the one who created nella and he was respnsible for bringing nella back from the dead.

as mickey says that he is not angry with walter, theodora flies in with the only way that ella could saved: true love's first kiss. the couple kiss and soon they begin a journey with mickey, theodora, and minne to save the kingdom. as the group sails off to nella's headquarters, walter and ella realize their true feelings for eachother after walter takes ella on a carpet ride through the sky (I assure you the song is NOT from aladdin). when the group arrives at nella's headquarters, they quicky defeat the henchmen, who are really bewitched wolves. walter then confronts nella and begins to battle her. when he believes that she is dead, he runs down to celebrate when nella rises and transforms into a large dragon. after walter is injured, mickey takes on his role as king and defeats nella once and for all. as the group rejoyces, minnie tells ella that she is the true heir and ella says she wold rather have noone other than walter as her king. together, walter and ella unlock the characters and they sail off into the distance.

back at the studio party, not only has mr yensid agreed to produce the new and original show, with the unoriginal songs, schumacher finally sees the creativity within his son as the ghosts of mickey mouse and walt disney look on proudly.

I also posted this plot on a site called BroadwayWorld.com, however they've been extremly negative.

The thing is, they think my idea would be good, but without the disney angle. Their main problem is in the character of mickey mouse. They can't get over the idea of having Mickey as a serious character with actual feelings.

They're just closed-minded, that's all. Some people just don't like Disney.

Don't show it to Broadwayworld.com. They're evil. They depise Disney very much.

You ought to put it as a stage show in one of the Disney parks, if not at Broadway.

^Thanks. However, I could see this show being simplified into a 45 minute version for Tokyo Disney, if not DL or WDW. This would occur after Imagination wins all the tonies.

Hey guys! Sorry it's been so long since I last posted. Anywho, Imagination has been my top priority over this past week, and i'm really working on expanding the story and the characters. To get the idea to Disney, I've taken a new approach to the entire project. Fist, the entire Disney theatrical storyline has been dropped. Second, I've been adding new bits of classic Disne songs into the piece. The goal? To create a musical with the same goal as another Disney show, On the Record. The goal of that show? Take eight decades of Disney music and put it into one show. However, i'm taking it two step further. The first step: The complex storyline, and the second step: in addition to the music, i hope to take some elements from three key Disney areas: the magical animated movies, the enchanting broadway shows, and the only place wher no Disney show has gone before, the Disney theme parks. So what is Imagination? It's really, in a sense, Disney in it's finest moments. Hopefully more script will be rolling out soon

I'll give a new update: Lots of new songs have been added including three songs from HSM2 (Fabulous, Music in Me, All for One) The latter two being the Act One finale. I have also included a tribute to the original Disney cartoons, A Change in Me from BATB, plus alot more. i'll update later with a full song list.

Ok guys, now I knwo this thread has been dead for the past summer, however, after a major plot rehaul, including having myself look into some deeper Disney history, the idea is better then ever, and has an actual possibility of being produced. While I continue to e-mail Thomas Schumacher, I've rewritten the opening and redesigned most of the show's major flaws. First off, the show is now written from the perspective that we are Walt Disney on the train ride to California just before he created Mickey Mouse. The enitre plot is basically a dream which he has, from which he later draws together Mickey Mouse. The entire plot of Brynt and Schumacher? Gone. What remains is a much more interesting, complex show. Mickey and Minnie? Renamed and hidden in the plot, only to be revealed at the last moment. To stop the confussion between Nella and Ella, I preserved Nella's name and renamed Ella as Lily, short for Lillian, aka Walt Disney's actual wife. Also, the war is never fought by Mickey, and while he does have a son, he never goes through a midlife crisis. Also, head of Walt? Gone. In? Creative costuems which make the household servants and workers look like forest animals. Overalll, it's alot better then before, though most of the Second Act remains intact, with the addition of several more characters and the removal of a few others. What do you guys think?

wow, this thread has been dead lately. Ok, so I thought i'd give you guys an update:

First, after my yearly trip to Disneyworld, I found some areas within my musical which needed some slight tweaking & such, so alot of revisions have been made. Also, what used to be the entire show is now only the second act. So, what's first? As you know, recently, I've taken a fascination with the Kingdom of Imagination, and I actually found that the two stories would make a great single epic story.

Therefore, the title of this project has now changed to Walt Disney's Imagination the musical. Second, I've begun to workshop the musical on my own with a limited cast of 10, barely any set, costumes, or lighting, and a dance studio space for one night to perform to a limited audience, under Disney's copyright agreement with me. Tommorrow night will be our first rehearsel, and we perform in June!

Man! I wish I could see it.

My high school did Beauty and the Beast this year as a musical...and it was pretty good. Our Be Our Guest number was pretty insane. We has napkins and teacups running down the aisles to the stage while 'the flatwares entertaining.' The finale for that number included bubbles over the audience and steamers being shot from the ceiling catwalk (above the audience).
The Transformation scene included fog and strobe lighting.
Great show! (sorry...I had to throw this in :biggrin:)
