I like to ask this question of all of my theater, musical theater friends on the podcast.

If you got to create a new stage show for a Disney park, what kind of show would you create and in what park would it be?

Oh my gosh.

I

know.

What kind of

show would I create and in what park? I would create...

Wow.

I'll tell you the style.

I mean, because now my mind is going in a million different directions.

The style, it would be an immersive show.

I think immersive theater is absolutely where things are headed.

And I'm so excited for that because I think people really want the opportunity to play.

Play is so much a part of, you know, I mean, video games are hugely popular.

And obviously we have these little tiny computers in our hands that we're all addicted to.

But I think people...

I genuinely want human connection in all sorts of fanciful, realistic ways.

I think that's really what we're craving as a culture.

And so I would want to put it in Magic Kingdom because I think one of the things that Magic Kingdom brings out so much in people is this air of nostalgia.

and the sort of yearning for childhood.

So I would want to figure out some sort of an immersive concept to either get people even closer to that sort of sense of nostalgia or maybe an entirely different story that plays on these ideas of imagination.

So something maybe in that realm is what I would say.

That's a great question.

Thank you.

If you were in charge of the Disney parks, what, if any, changes would you want to make?
