It's Showtime! September 2023 Exercise Challenge

Congrats to Oneanne for reaching goal and Grand Finale Green and to Twilight Sparkle (me) for reaching Rehearsal Red!!!!

Here's a rehearsal pic of some of the puppets used in the Frozen stage show aboard the Wonder. I'm not really a Frozen person (altho I saw the Frozen sing-along at DHS four times while I was there, so maybe I am?), but I loved this production:

Woop woop... +60 minutes for steps and arms

1355/1350... 100%

Great photo! I really love the puppets! I've watched bootlegs of all the Disney cruise ship shows on youtube, and they make me want to take a cruise on every ship just to see the shows.

Before we say goodbye to Frozen, here's one article highlighting the differences between the movie and the musical and one article with some fun facts about the show.

***************************************************

Disney Theatrical has a few other non-Broadway productions that I'd like to see:
- Pinocchio - enjoyed a brief run in a single theatre in London
- The Jungle Book - played in Chicago and Boston but is being reworked; maybe we'll eventually see it on Broadway one day
- Hercules - had a great cast when it debuted for about a week at an outdoor theatre in NYC. It later played for a month at the Paper Mill in NJ this past spring. Again, maybe this one has a chance at returning to a larger audience one day.
- Winnie the Pooh - has had a couple of limited runs - one off-Broadway, and one in Chicago.

An upcoming show that is still in the works is Coco! I can imagine this one being visually stunning, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed this one makes it.

And three shows that were in the works at some point but ended up getting scrapped were:
- Alice in Wonderland
- Father of the Bride
- The Princess Bride

********************************************************

Are there any musicals Disney hasn't produced yet that you'd like to see make it to Broadway or a theatre near you? I have three: Tangled, Princess and the Frog, and Encanto.

I'm leaving you with a fun quiz to finish out the month:

https://playbill.com/article/which-disney-stage-musical-are-you

Apparently I am

Beauty and the Beast
When it comes to Disney stage musicals, it doesn’t get better than the first; you’re Beauty and the Beast, the one that started it all! Attacking life with plucky confidence, you’ve seen the transformative power of love first hand. Whether reading a book or journeying along the path less taken, you’ve got an adventurous spirit that will make your life an exciting and full one.



Be sure to share your own results!

And also remember to post any last minute minutes you've accrued. I'll be back in a few days to tally them up and close out the month. Thanks for being here this month! Great job, everyone! I'll see you all in October.

I brought home a sickness from DLR (not Covid, according to several tests) and did very little. Yesterday I finally started feeling better. Finishing at 1475/1500.

Thanks for an informative month, Twilight Sparkle! It makes me want to get back to the theatre.

I also got Beauty and the Beast, but I had to make random selections on several of the questions, lol.

Worked a 12 hour inspection shift on Saturday. Mostly involved lots of walking and hitting down concrete with a hammer, so I think I'll estimate about 1/3 as exercise, so like 4 hours.

I am so sorry for being so late. I got 225 minutes. It got a bit crazy towards the end of the month and I wasn't able to get out as much.
