Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro recently witnessed a rehearsal of the upcoming Broadway-type musical Disney The Tale of Moana in Toronto, Canada. This show will be experienced by guests who cruise aboard the Disney Treasure. After this rehearsal, D’Amaro shared his thoughts about this stage musical version of Moana.
After an amazing experience at D23 a few weeks ago, where we announced the addition of four new ships to our Disney Cruise Line fleet, I had the opportunity to travel to Toronto, Canada and visit the Disney Cruise Line and Disney Live Entertainment teams in rehearsal for the newest stage show, “Disney The Tale of Moana.”
This is the first theatrical adaptation of Moana, and I’m proud of the attention that we’re putting on the story – as well as on the culture of the Pacific Islands. This is a brand-new show that will debut on board the Disney Treasure, setting sail for the first time later this year.
This rehearsal facility is impressive. With 52,000 square feet of space, including 19 studios, this facility has been the home to more than 150 casts prior to shows and other entertainment debuting on board our ships.
Despite not having costumes, sets, makeup, props or lighting in the rehearsals yet, it’s easy to see that this new show is going to be incredible, and I can’t wait for you to see it.
At D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, more was revealed about this show that will be presented on the Disney Treasure. This includes concept art for a 15-foot tall puppet of Te Kā. It really looks impressive. Disney The Tale of Moana and the Disney Treasure will be taking to sea on its maiden voyage on December 21, 2024. Are you excited about this ship and this show?
