Following
a long-standing tradition of delivering the best in family entertainment, Disney
Cruise Line adds to its line-up of original Disney musicals this year by premiering
The Golden Mickeys, the most technically sophisticated stage show at sea.
The
performance combines live-action theater with film, video, music and colorful
pyrotechnics in a toe-tapping salute to Walt Disney and his legacy of classic
animated films.
As if attending a distinguished Hollywood awards show,
guests enter The Walt Disney Theatre along a red carpet lined with "paparazzi."
Of course, once inside, there are stars, including Tim Allen, who speaks to guests
through taped video; live performances, including the award-winning "Son of Man"
from Disney's Tarzan soundtrack; elaborate sets, including dramatic Chinese silk
drops, mysterious "lakes" of fog and eye-popping animated backdrops; and even
a few characters.
The Golden Mickeys is scheduled to debut in August, 2003
aboard the Disney Wonder and December aboard the Disney Magic.
Some 200
singers, dancers, actors, comedians, Disney characters, producers, directors and
backstage assistants entertain guests nightly in The Walt Disney Theatre, a magnificent
977-seat showplace featuring elaborate lighting sets and state-of-the-art technical
facilities.
