Disney on Broadway

Walt Disney Theatrical or Disney on Broadway is the stage production wing of the Disney Corporation, which has produced several hit Broadway plays. Starting with Beauty and the Beast in 1994, Disney has been delving deeper and deeper into the Broadway scene. Other Broadway plays that have been produced by Disney have included The Lion King, Tarzan, and a German edition of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. The Little Mermaid Broadway play is already in the works.

Will Disney be creating anything that is specifically designed for the stage, and hasn’t first been a movie, TV show, or Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale? Well, the answer to that is already “yes.” I’ll have you know that Aida (debut in 2000) and On the Record (2004) were two original Disney on Broadway productions that were designed specifically for the stage.

It seems as though Disney already has a huge fan base and numerous movies that could be easily be turned into stage performances. Expect a lot more from this company as the years go by.
