Epcot's "Disney on Broadway" show attendance

[Laura's Dad]

What is the attendance like at the Epcot Festival of the Arts' "Disney on Broadway" shows? Is it anything like the Candlelight Processional where you have to line up a couple hours in advance in order to see the show? We are going to be there the final day of the Festival and our time is somewhat limited. Any help would be appreciated.

nothing like it. I have gone to all the concert and manage to find a seat minutes before the shows. This year it seems not even thee dining packages are selling as hey are giving CM 20% and 40% discount on them

We showed up like 30 minutes before one in 2018, just because we were there at that time. We could have had a seat right up until showtime. The place wasn't even close to full.

Thanks. We want to see a show. We don’t want to have to invest in a package or wait hours in a line to see it

Does anyone know if the show is different on different nights? There are a couple of different pairs of singers while we are there and are considering going two evenings, assuming the program isn’t the same

Each pair will have their own set of songs. So if you see the same couple at different showtimes/days, it will be the same show. If you're seeing a different pair of singers on your other night, then that will be a totally different show/ different songs.

I was there on the final 2 nights of the festival this past year and there were definitely still seats to be had. I lined up early and got pretty close to the stage the one night. The other I arrived after it started and there were still a few scattered seats. Following the thread last year very few people bought the packages based on advice from the year before.

Candlelight vs the concert series are a whole other ballgame
for Broadway I'd say getting there 15-20 mins before the set should get you in fine via standby

This.
We like to arrive by 20 minutes early because they let standby in 15-20 min before showtime (at least for the middle and last shows of the night). We go on weekends and the shows we've been to fill up pretty good by the time the show starts. Not literally full to capacity, but it does look like a full house.

My other great love besides Disney is broadway. I cannot recommend seeing these performers more. I’ve seen almost all in concert or in a show and have been just blown away. I’m always sad I can only visit over the summer!

We sat in the same area as you for the concert last Saturday! We were in the row right behind that tree, sitting just to the left of the tree.
Arrived at 6:25 for the 6:45 show. They had already let standby in, so we walked right in and there were lots of spots available. It filled up quickly and by 6:40 the people that were still coming in were having a hard time finding a place to sit.

We saw the 8pm show on the first night. We showed up right at 7:55 and sat down. The rows in the back were mostly empty.

Earlier, they did have a "standby line", to make sure the dinner/show people had first seating, but since it was not going to fill up, I didn't see the point in waiting in a line. The show was great. I just wished it was longer

It's 30 minutes right? And all 3 sets are the same?
