How long before the Beauty & The Beast show does 4 for a Dollar start performing? I want to make sure I catch their whole show. Thanks
Are there any other shows that have a warm up band that is worth seeing?
Be in your seats 25 minutes before the posted show times of B&B.
You'll want to get the "full effect" of seeing the "testing of the mics".
There aren't any other "live" shows with warm-ups.
(Hunchback in MGM had a GREAT comedy juggler, but he's gone along with the show.)
No warm-ups for Fest. of the Lion King, Tarzan (is-soon-to-be-gone) Rocks, IllumiNations, or Fantasmic! (but there used to be one there).
None for Candlelight or Castle shows (Cinderellabration) either.
HOWEVER...
the finest "warm-up show" in all of WDW (not really a "warm-up" at all, but a small show in itself) is the "Voices of Liberty" heard in the "rotunda" waiting room before many of the showings of "The American Adventure" in Epcot.
This singing group is the "premiere" vocal act at WDW.
There are also performances in the same rotunda of "VIBE" which is a more youth-oriented jazz-based singing group. They are very good too, but my tastes go in the more traditional mode, and The Voices of Liberty give me CHILLS of happiness!
The Voices of Liberty and VIBE showtimes are listed on the small handouts found at Epcot at the gates and in nearly every shop and kiosk.
