Does anyone know who the cast was on the royal variety segment? Pretty sure it wasn't the German cast.
Is a UK production planned? Seemed odd to have them sing two songs in the Disney segment for a show no one can see in the UK, and has never been performed here.

It was the Paper Mill Playhouse cast Oh wow, flown over just for that. Fair enough. They were great. Still odd choice though instead of say Poppins or giving one of the other shows a second song/longer segment. |

Still odd choice though instead of say Poppins or giving one of the other shows a second song/longer segment. Poppins was on both the 2015 and 2019 RVPs so maybe they thought it didn't need to be on again, especially now it's closed. But still, having Hercules on (and Beauty and the Beast) felt odd because now people will be Googling for tickets and finding no current UK productions showing unlike Aladdin, The Lion King and Frozen. But then again, I suppose the purpose mainly was to celebrate the 100 years of Disney, not necessarily to advertise the shows. |

Hercules wasn't very muscular. We watched two different performances haha. His arms were impressive when flexed. He isn't cartoon or Arnold big, but he is big enough. And hercules is strong which doesn't always equate to big muscles |

I didn't see the performance, so I can't comment- I will try and watch it on catch up later but I think Richard Fleeshman would make a great Hero if A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum transferred. |

Sounded lovely. Another vote for Hercules to come over to the UK here - I think it’s got one of the best Disney soundtracks. |

Alan Menken quite well represented there with Sister Act, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and Hercules.
