Do we know if/when this will be confirmed as there is nothing on their main site !

Thanks

Yes, this is officially confirmed through a press release

[stifle]

How "confirmed" do you want it to be? I suppose it will only be totally confirmed when that week's programme is published.

CMs are rehearsing already - pretty sure it's going ahead!

It is!!

It's pretty girly, but in a strangely accessible way!  Our boys weren't interested but I loved it. Both times...

I hope they make this a permanent show in 2017. Hate the idea of 'between this date and that date' shows.

I'm in two minds about this show having seen it live. I love the concept and parts are excellent but some of the singing was horrific on one of the performances I saw, not to mention the fact Rapunzel forgot her words. Also why they can't cast some better Merida's is beyond me it's not like she has a tricky role (as in she doesn't need to be an acrobat just look like her!).

Call me evil but I'd actually love to see that happen during a live show of something.

Hopefully it'll be a success and they'll make it a permanent show for 2017.

My thoughts on the show

I was in DLP last week of February 2016. Before I went I didnt watch any spoilers or read much about the show so I went with an open mind

1. At the moment with all the closures in Frontierland, its not really that well advertised or well known and its in an out of the way place. Im here most days and I follow Disney Fan accounts on Twitter, but I'm thinking more specifically about the people who are not as well planned as us or who are not that clued up about the layout of the park. I knew before my trip where the location of the theatre was, what times the show is on and what day I wanted to see it. People who  just turn up at the park and get handed the map and entertainment schedule would probably miss this show

2. The overall concept is good, a unique show to DLP using an existing theatre. The movable staging effects were great but what was with the big "tree" in the middle. Not having seen previous shows in this theatre, I dont know if this was an attempt to cover up something ie a lighting or sound rig?? I was lucky, I managed to get a seat where I didnt have an unobstructed view but I can see how it would spoil the view for some

3. The concept of having the singers sing and the characters  act worked but didnt work. Its the same concept used by Avenue Q Broadway / West End show. When someone was singing I wanted to focus on them but then I realised they were the "voice" of the character so I had to switch to the character, my brain got confused, who do I watch, the singer or the character??

4. The content was great, really well put together, the costumes and visuals really worked

5. The performers though needed more rehearsals. Some of the spins, bounces, leaps, turns etc were a bit sloppy. Some flips were a bit off. The Tarzan / Corde Lisse act was not the best I have seen, he is not the same standard as  Cirque de Soleil.

It was really awkward and obvious she didn't sing for like 15 seconds. No attempt to make it up or anything, I did find it amusing in a horrible way.

Perhaps she should have just mimed?
