Can't decide whether this is something to be pleased about or not...

Is there any news on this topic... I mean I loved Tarzan, Lion King and Little Mermaid (Mary Poppins not so much)... I Think this might actually work...
this sounds so good i rearl liked mary poppins and lion king is probably one of the best experiences of my life but ive not had the opertunity to see little mermaid or tarzan
I am unsure. I don't know how it would work. I would rather see Mary Poppins or The Lion King before I make any assumptions on the idea.
They would have to pad the whole thing out as Dumbo the movie is only about an hour long
Mary Poppins is wonderful and I would recommend it to anyone - its by far the most magical thing I've seen on stage.
Heres are two slightly more recent articles regarding Dumbo:

Disney's last production The Little Mermaid wasn't nearly as much of success as they hoped it would be, so it'd be interesting to see what they go for next.
The article above also makes an excellent point that Disney is also involved in Broadway shows Sister Act and Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark through its owning of Touchstone and Marvel.

Never thought of that. However Sister Act might actually be the best musical I've seen in years. The great, feel good story, the amazing cast and wonderful music by Alan Mencken making it a true "blesssed" experience.
Havn't heard anything more on the Dumbo project, the next Disney Theatrical release will be "Newsies". Again with new additional music by Alan M.
Oh no, I love Dumbo, but not as a theatrical experience. The lion King was fantastic, when I was 16 I saw Beauty and the beast, again an incredible production. I would love to take my daughter to see something like that or the Jungle Book.
THEY NEED TO BRING TANGLED OR ENCHANTED TO THE STAGE INSTEAD WEATHER I'LL HAVE TO WRITE TO THEM TO MAKE THESE TWO IN TO MUSICALS IT WILL HAPPEN someday...
