"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" is a musical at Disneyland now. Its official title is "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: the Enchanting Musical" or something like that.

That's probably what Im thinking of.

Aside from the shows in WDW's parks, I haven't seen any Disney on stage (or anything on stage at all). If I get to go to London this summer, all of that will change, starting with Mary Poppins.

After that, I'd like to see Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Pocahontas, Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan make an incarnation on the stage

Actually Rasulo et al have put a stop to that Broadway nonsense and forced Bamberger and her group to actually develop Disneyland entertainment instead of Broadway entertainment.

I much prefer the stage version of the story than the movie itself, more mature and more deep (Why Nala is running away, the Madness of King Scar is pure genius).

All those reasons you've stated is exactly why I've been dying to see it. I have the cast recording and I absolutely love "Shadowlands." I love the added depth some of the new songs give the story!

And those costumes look so amazing!

I saw TLK on stage (I wouldn't have, but my sister's roommate had to work, so she had the extra ticket), I didn't LOVE it or HATE it, but I am happy enough with the movie.

Of course, I'm not a very refined "theatre" type person either.

I know that Disney now do not allow pantomime versions of "Snow White" to use the names of the 7 dwarves so they have to think up their own.

I know. Disney must not want to tarnish their reputation by having their most beloved characters referenced in a cross-dressing Christmas musical.

Anyway, I know that there was once a Broadway version of Snow White, according to IMDb.

I haven't seen any broadway or professional Disney shows and it's a shame cause i'm an aspiring actor and i love theatre. A local highschool did Beauty and the Beast recently but it wasn't that great. It was neat to see on stage though. When I was in Disney world i saw most if not all of the stage shows. Id love to see Aladdin, peter Pan, Little Mermaid (i know its in the works and im SO excited ), I hope to see Beauty and the Beast sometime and Hunchback would be really neat!!!
Lion King sounds interesting, but i'm not so sure i'd like it since it's mostly masks and puppets, but what can ya do...it's animals!
We did "Joseph" recently and I fell in love with Andrew Lloyd Webber's version of that! I'd like to see what they do with Mary Poppins on stage in England, I loved that movie!
These are a few that I think are broadway potential:
Snow White, Cinderella (imagine that!!), Sleeping Beauty(pyrotechnics and SFX for Maleficent!)

I work at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre where they are currently running Beauty & The Beast on Broadway in NYC, and I LOVE that show. I also had the fortunate opportunity to see TLK and Aida. They are so incredibly amazing. Especially Aida... Unfortunately, it left Broadway on September 5th, 2004.

From what I hear, next show on Broadway (after Mary Poppins) will be either Tarzan or The Little Mermaid. They're shopping both around the studios right now.

For the info, the next official musical is The Little Mermaid.

Oh man with out a doubt I would lvoe to see Aladdin on Stage. An amazing colors and special effects. I guess another really cool idea would be Alice in Wonderland also because of all the cool colors that could be used.

Not Disney but I read somewhere that Shrek was going to Broadway

Hmm... I think that could be done very well. I know there was a play and a ballet based on Hans Christian Anderson's original.
The play was most definately not for children and had naked women hanging from wire wrapped in ropes.

I know that sometime, somewhere (Disney World?) "Aladdin" was done on ice.

nice, The Little Mermaid as new Broadway Disney play.

Too bad that they´ll never take it to Mexico so we can see it.
And why deas Disney doesn´t release them on dvd as it have been done with Cats??
By the way, te outfits of The Lion King, so cool n_n

And why deas Disney doesn´t release them on dvd as it have been done with Cats??

Because they make more money on ticket sales. Cats had it's great run. But was lagging behind. They figured put it on DVD, make whatever sales they could. Wait a few more years, they will allow smaller theaters to set it up. In Daytona Beach, the Seaside Music Theater got the rights to put it on. They have done it twice. Haven't seen it there, but I heard it was great

How and why I mean its not really a musical you know? Seems more like a kid show that could be taken on tour around the country like (Disney on Ice or something )

Yeah, I know it's not a musical. But first of all, not all Broadway is musicals. But likely they will make it a musical. Why? To make money and piss off Disney probably I read it in Entertainment Weekly I believe. It was a few weeks after Shrek 2 came out and I believe it was Katzenburg who said it was being developed.
