Tangled: The Musical Adds to the Magic of Disney Cruise Line

Like Rapunzel in Tangled, we see the light—the spotlight, that is! Today Disney Cruise Line (DCL) announced that beginning this November, the characters and music we love from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ beloved film will come to life on stage aboard the Disney Magic . This will mark the first time Tangled has been adapted for the stage.

Tangled: The Musical will recreate Rapunzel’s fairy tale using lavish production numbers and spellbinding music. DCL audiences will, of course, enjoy live performances of their favorite songs from the film, including “When Will My Life Begin,” “Mother Knows Best,” “I Have a Dream,” and the Grammy ® Award-winning “I See the Light.” But DCL announced that this show will also feature three brand-new songs created exclusively for Tangled: the Musical by Academy Award ® -winning composer Alan Menken and Grammy-winning lyricist Glenn Slater.

The story we fell in love with in the film will now feature a few special twists to create a live staged production, but all of our favorites will appear live on stage: Rapunzel, Flynn Rider, Mother Gothel, and Maximus the police horse. We’ll watch Rapunzel escape the confines of her tower and the clutches of Mother Gothel, who wishes to shield the secret of Rapunzel’s magical golden tresses and royal roots. Rapunzel strikes up an unlikely friendship with the suave, crown-stealing bandit Flynn Rider, and together they face ruffians, thugs, and a budding romance on their hair-raising journey.

On board the Disney Magic , the 977-seat Walt Disney Theatre will become Rapunzel’s fanciful Bavarian kingdom. The all-star creative team behind the extravagant production includes director Gordon Greenberg and choreographer Connor Gallagher, in addition to Menken, Slater, and a bevy of top-notch theatrical talent.

Michael Curry, the master puppet designer whose creations are featured in Disney’s Tony Award®-winning musical The Lion King on Broadway will bring the rambunctious Maximus to life. Maximus was known to steal a scene or two in the animated Tangled , and with the help of the whinnying puppet performer within, the character is sure to be a standout on stage as well.

The musical’s colorful costumes—including the townspeople’s bright hues and Rapunzel’s feminine florals—are being created by Tony winner Paloma Young. The sets—Rapunzel’s tower, the lakeside setting of the iconic floating lanterns scene, and even the Snuggly Duckling tavern—will be designed by Bradley Kaye (Disney’s Aladdin—A Musical Spectacular ).

Voyages on the Disney Magic are known for their exclusive live entertainment, such as Twice Charmed: An Original Twist on the Cinderella Story and Disney Dreams . . .  An Enchanted Classic (which is debuting a new Frozen -themed segment beginning in summer 2015).

Tangled: The Musical is set to premiere during the Disney Magic ‘s four-night Bahamian sailing that departs Miami on November 11. To learn more, visit Disney Cruise Line ‘s official website. This news is likely to have Disney fans singing to themselves, “When will my cruise begin?”

FIRST LOOK INSIDE Disney’s NEW Tangled Ride: Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival in Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs!

By AJ 2 Comments

Fantasy Springs is FINALLY here, and so are its NEW RIDES . We’ve been lucky enough to get a preview of the new land, so we’re taking you INSIDE!

Rapunzel’s Forest, Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs

Tokyo DisneySea’s highly anticipated new land, Fantasy Springs, is opening on June 6th; but we’re getting the chance to ride the land’s three BRAND NEW RIDES , including one based on a beloved Disney film that’s NEVER had a ride before. Welcome to Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival!

Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival, Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs

This is pretty much everything I dreamed it would be! And while we’re not riding until a little later this week, Disney released a bunch of photos that we couldn’t help sharing!

The newest attraction is based on Tangled , Disney’s 2010 telling of the story of Rapunzel; and Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival is based on one of the film’s most iconic sequences. Let’s head inside!

In Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival, we’ll climb into a gondola that seats about 16 guests (whom we get to share our romantic adventure with LOL)! We’ll find Rapunzel in her tower at first, singing “When Will My Life Begin.”

But who’s that? Flynn Rider?! Of course it is! And his trusty steed Maximus!

Oh, and of course you’ll be able to spy Pascal throughout the ride. What else is a sidekick for?

Soon, Rapunzel escapes, and we get to follow along the seriously beautiful and epic and energetic scenes (can you tell how much I love this ride already?!) to watch while she falls in love!

Seriously, the lighting is perfect, isn’t it?! Tokyo DisneySea just can’t miss!

But wait. It’s about to get SO MUCH BETTER.

Are you crying? I’m crying. This scene of Punzie and Flynn amidst zillions of floating lanterns is simply everything any Tangled fan has ever dreamed of.

Kinda makes you believe in love a little bit more, doesn’t it? This is where they sing “I See The Light,” of course!

OK, so there are just a few of the pics Disney released. But stay tuned ’cause we’re actually going to be riding this very soon and taking you along with us! Are you following us on social media? Now’s the time! (Please and thank you very much please and thank you.)

Rapunzel’s lantern Festival FINALLY brings Punzie a Disney ride in spectacular fashion. And don’t forget to keep hangin’ with us this week for TONS more Fantasy Springs goodness! We’re pulling the all-nighters on both sides of the world to bring you so much content you won’t even believe it!

EVERYTHING in this new land opens on June 6th, 2024. Are you ready?

Looks like they combined The Little Mermaid Ride concept with the Tangled IP, nice combination. For a moment, I thought what a Tangled retheme of Splash Mountain would have been like…Have Tiana’s in Disneyland and Punzie’s version in WDW, but that probably would have taken to long (R&D time for two vastly different sets of audio-autos).
