My idea for Downtown Disney

[jpeka65844]

Okay Disney people, I hope you read this board because I have a great idea!

I am a musical theater JUNKIE! And some of my favorite musicals have been the ones produced by Disney. Now, I'm a long way from NYC; I'm more likely to go to WDW than NYC. Why doesn't Disney install its B'way stage productions of Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Aida, (the newly opened) Tarzan, and (the opening in October) Mary Poppins in downtown Disney? I mean, they refurbished Times Square, I think they can put some theaters in DD.

My purist theater friends would KILL me if they heard me talk like this, but I don't care!!!

Let's sign a petition!

I'm also from the KC area.

I'm with you on this one.

I don't care a whit for "Cirque", but the major stage productions (one or two theaters, each playing even a "road-show" version) would be a great addition to WDW.

I'm sure its been discussed by Disney.

That would be awesome. I am also not a fan of the Cirque. If I am going to give up a park night it has to be for a good reason and thats not one. I would love to see a Broadway show down there. It only makes sense!!

I think it would be a great idea too. Since Disney is increasing it's roster of Broadway shows, maybe it will make more sense for them to offer this type of entertainment in the future. I know I would try one of these shows during my vacation.

I'll drink to that. Great idea. I go to NYC just to see the shows, and really enjoyed Beauty and the Beast at the Palace Theatre in 1997 on Broadway. But I'd love to see Broadway style shows at WDW. Works for me. But then, it should, I'm only about a four hour drive from WDW.

I really enjoy the Cirque show too. There would be no competition involved as far as I would be concerned. I'd go see both, and no doubt extend my stay at the WDW resort by at least one night.

Enjoy.
