I only just watched the video above now, because it's been doing the rounds on lots of Disney websites, and... wow! I think this could actually be something really really special! You hear that they're turning Finding Nemo into a Disney theme park musical and you immediately think "uh oh..", but this looks like it could be an awesome project. Animal Kingdom is fast becoming one of the top Disney parks.
I also love the performers they've got here - Marlin is perfect, and the lady playing Nemo is brilliant. The song itself is fantastic, I'll be buying that soundtrack for sure... :)
Edit: here's the video again, the earlier one was removed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5QAn7qFo00&eurl= (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5QAn7qFo00&eurl=)
That song is really nice, I hope that someone is naughty and posts a video of the whole show (when it starts) on the internet, as i don't have any plans to visit Florida in the near futures.
I'm sure though, that this could be one of the best Theme Park musicals.

It looks like a Broadway Lion King Musical style version of Nemo, with all the puppets and the humans faces on display. Not that im complaining, but dosent it make you smile when you realise that if Disney have a success with something, they quickly see how many versions of that sucess they can have by applying the idea to as many differnet brands/movies as possible!
No Suprise then that I just read on http://www.mickeynews.com (http://www.mickeynews.com) that Disney Theatrical have annouced that Finding Nemo is to be developed for Broadway!
No need to go to WDW then just go to the West End!
Here is a reveiw and pictures from Chape19714 at WDWMAGIC Forum:
QuoteIn the big blue world...I bring gifts to all of you! I won't write too much on the show as you can already find that, but I will tell you it was absolutely amazing!
-New signage

-The new entrance now runs down the everest side of the theater, and has a pretty large path. From there, you go through 2 double doors into the theater.

-Here's some images of the inside. I apologize for the blurry photos. NO photos of any kind are allowed of the actual show, not only for safety, but because (as mentioned by the Vice President who spoke), they don't want anyone experiencing this great show through a lens.

-The show was amazing and I hope they don't change a thing! Dory was great, as well as all the other fish. The Just keep swimming Number was the best, especially with the jellyfish. There was some Pryo use, and the charade fish did a killer job! My compliments to the ENTIRE cast and crew!
