Finding Nemo The Musical
For the first time Disney has taken a non-musical movie and turned it into an original musical stage show. The show is presented in a totally revamped 1,500 seat Theater In The Wild that previously was home to Tarzan Rocks. The theater is now totally enclosed and air conditioned, which comes in handy during the hot Florida summers.
The 30 minute production features original songs by by Tony Award-winning "Avenue Q" co-composer-creator Robert Lopez and a cappella musical "Along the Way" co-creator Kristen Anderson-Lopez.
Finding Nemo The Musical also features the spectacular puppetry designs of Michael Curry, who co-designed the richly detailed character puppets seen in the Broadway version of Disney's "The Lion King."
Finding Nemo The Musical follows the story of over protective Clownfish Marlin and his son Nemo and all of the adventures that ensue when Nemo is captured by a Scuba Diving Dentist from Sydney.
You will see all of your favorite characters like Dory - Marlin's memory challenged companion, Bruce - the Shark who tries to convince himself that "Fish Are Friends, Not Food", & Crush - the coolest, most laid back sea turtle you will ever meet.
There are twelve original songs in all during this production: 1. In The Big Blue World, 2. The Drop Off, 3. Dory's Ditty, 4. Fish Are Friends Not Food, 5. Where's My Dad?, 6. We Swim Together, 7. Just Keep Swimming, 8. Not My Dad (Reprise, Song 5), 9. Go With The Flow, 10. That's My Dad (Reprise, Song 5), 11. We Swim Together (Reprise), 12. Finale - The Big Blue World (Reprise).
Must See Disney World Attraction
It may be overused to call something a "Must See" attraction, but Finding Nemo The Musical really is a Must See attraction that is fun for the entire family. This show is well done with great acting, catchy original songs that feel like they belonged in the original Pixar animated classic, and unbelievable costumes and puppets.
I haven't been to that yet! Will be @ WDW in a couple weeks & this show is on my list this time. Thanks for the great pics!
