Epcot International Festival of the Arts is ongoing, and it is a new product called “Once on stage: 30 years of Broadway Disney”.
The exhibition is located in the new Communicore Hall in the theme park’s world area. Inside, there are costumes and props used on stage in Broadway or tour production.
Therefore, there are some shine, along with information about how Disney staggers staging these shows.
Name that costume
Just inside the door, there is the first spotlight glover. It is a giraffe costume/doll device devised by Julie Teimore for the stage version of “Lion King”. It is naturally tied up, and there are dozens of “don’t touch” warning signs, so don’t think you’ll try on Elsa’s gown.
“Lion King” and “Aladdin” account for many floor area in the “One -Apon A Stage”, such as shining costumes, head -decorations (for Genie, Jafar, Aladdin, Dancers) and masks. (The terrible Mufasa stands out.) There are more puppet plays on the side, as the eerie and quiet version of ZAZU and PUMBAA is on standby.
In the middle, there are more props (Baby Simba “next to” Young Simba “, including the fascinating roses of” Beauty and The Beast “. There are also two photo setups linked to the “Lion King” and “Aladdin”. This contains a magical lamp.

Glossy screams
Submit this under “Works that you did not know that you are not there”. The “Aladdin” display contains the artists behind the scenes, such as bead consultants. Of course, bead consulting is needed, who knew? In the case of Aladdin, Polly Kinnie led the path of the design theme of nature and Moore. Needless to say, all of these small pieces are procurement, the display reports. In addition, Jasmine’s daytime appearance and fringe collection include samples and bracelets.
These jobs are presented in the timeline method, which is a few years before the play is on stage. Regarding SHOWTIME, it has the role of the dresser. The dresser can seamlessly change costumes that are not found in the audience, so to speak.
