Worth seeing once, but I prefer a ‘proper’ Disney parade ( and although it appears to go down the parade route on the map, it is actually just 2 separate performances of the same thing). This could have been a one stop show in a specific location and they could have still had a parade. The kids all seemed to enjoy it though, and there was some audience participation.
We really enjoyed this street performance. It was high energy, well choreographed and great fun. The fact that the dance troup and float roll along and get a buzz going as they hit the street really adds to a festival atmosphere and pulls a spontaneous crowd.
My son is a big fan of the film and really enjoyed the parade-he got to shoot hoops with the guys and get up and dance with the actors-nice addition and the tunes will be in your head all day!
Both my eldest daughters looked forward to this all holiday! They weren’t let down either. All of the main songs were sang. There is also children participation, the kids threw basketballs into hoops and even got to dance with them! The smiles said it all! One tip, the map shows a line where the show follows. THIS IS NOT A PARADE! On our visit, the stage came out near the Rock and Roller coaster, like a parade, then stopped outside the Stunt Car entrance. This is where the first show takes place. If you want to watch this, stand at the far side, just to the side of the Armageddon ride. You will then miss the rush of people trying to get to the front, and will get a good view. Once finished, the stage moves on like the parade down to the bottom of the street and repeats.
Ok, as a big fan of this original movie - I have to say that it was an oddly put together performance. They didn’t have set characters - the lead couple sang other people’s songs, and said other people’s lines. There was no character definition and they only sang a few songs; We’re all in this together, Stick to the status quo and What I’ve been looking for. The key songs from the film weren’t included but they did pull people out of the audience to dance with them. I agree that it does liven up the studios and there should be a few more things like this.
Good addition to the Studios, although I believe it’s finishing quite soon. All the characters are very lively, and they interact with the crowd well. Definitely worth a watch if you’re around.
Live street show rolls into Backlot and Production Courtyard.
