I saw another post about this some weeks ago. It was suggested that the new show would start on the 10/11/03 cruise, after dry dock . Dry dock would allow time for the stage sets and other "fittings" that need to be done. At the time that made sense, since the turnaround time for the Magic is only a few hours. It was also mentioned that the show would have something to do with "Mulan". Could it be that there are 2 shows being planned?
Either way the above post seems to indicate the new show would be in place by mid July.
Since my family and I (and about 100 other DIS'ers) will be on the 10/11/03 cruise, I think chances are good we will get to see the new show(s)!

Hi Mary! Sounds like the Octoberfest III will be a big hit (100 plus cruisers!). Sure will be thinking of you and Ave and the rest of the gang! Give my love to all!

Yup, looks like we will get to see the show also on our Halloween cruise - hurrah!

On our cruise in February at the Castaway Club reception, Jackie mentioned a new show was in the works and would most likely be started about August.

Also looking for a male dancer to play Tarzan, great physique a must.

Hummm, perhaps if I shoved my stomach into my chest cavity?

And took dance lessons...

It would be great if there were two new shows but I will take one!

Are there laws against 14 yr olds having jobs on cruise ships? I could play young hercules!
