<\/a>Disney have finally <\/span>announced a multi-million dollar production based on Pixar’s first feature film, Toy Story <\/span>reports The Orlando Sentinel<\/a> and Disney Cruise Line via PRNewsWire.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Toy Story — The Musical will debut in April aboard the Disney Wonder cruise ship. It’s the latest entry in Disney’s expansive live-theater network that launched in 1993 with the purchase of a Broadway theater and has grown to include full-blown, movie-based Broadway musicals such as The Lion King, Mary Poppins and Beauty and the Beast.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

reports The Sentinel. The official press release adds, <\/p>\n

Using Randy Newman’s Oscar nominated hit song "You’ve Got a Friend in Me" as a departure point, this production has a new eight-song score that brings the story to life. New York-based Valerie Vigoda and Brendan Milburn from the band GrooveLily blended together pop, rock and folk music to create a contemporary score that truly captures the heartfelt whimsy of the animated tale.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After the massive success of The Lion King on Broadway, I feel personally, it’s a shame that it’s only going to be on the Disney Cruise Line. I do hope it does one day make it to stages around the world, if it is a success. <\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
Both The Orlando Sentinel<\/a> and the press release<\/a> are a wealth of information on the musical, too much in fact to fit every little exciting detail into this post. The Sentinel even has a video which shows some of the rehearsals. Thanks to everyone who sent this in.<\/span><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
