Salisbury, MD — October 8th, 2009 —Disney Live! Rockin’ Road Show, Feld Entertainment’s newest live stage production starring Mickey Mouse in a fun-filled road trip and talent search adventure, is coming to Salisbury, MD in November! Spotlighting favorite Disney characters such as the ever-lovable Tigger; Cinderella and her comical stepsisters; and for the first time in Disney Live! history, Buzz Lightyear, Woody and friends from Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story; Disney Live! Rockin’ Road Show unfolds through an original, laugh-out-loud storyline that whisks audiences away on a wacky journey without ever leaving their hometown. Tickets for performances at the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center are on sale now!
Produced by Kenneth Feld and Alana Feld, the show revolves around a one-of-a-kind, unpredictable road trip as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy and Donald spontaneously attempt to round up amazing acts for their talent show. Thanks to Mickey’s fantastical bus, they are able to soar over mountains and plunge underwater to complete their search for performers. Through the incorporation of a giant video screen and multiple scenic projection panels, audiences are able to enjoy a truly visual experience as the scenic backdrop takes them through country hillsides, a cactus-filled desert, a royal village and other picturesque locales.
“What really sets Disney Live! Rockin’ Road Show apart is that it incorporates classic Disney characters into a set of silly ‘cartoon rules’ where anything can happen and fun knows no boundaries,” says Producer Kenneth Feld. “Families get to create lasting memories as they embark on a thrilling, high-energy, theatrical excursion with their favorite Disney friends, right in their hometown.”
Disney Live! Rockin’ Road Show spotlights beloved characters performing a variety of talents as they sing and dance to a mix of hip Disney tunes. Audiences can join Cinderella as she performs “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo”; hoot and holler at a hoedown with Woody, Jessie and Buzz Lightyear;and bounce along with Tigger to “The Whoop-De-Dooper Bounce.”
“As Mickey and his pals team up to put on their show,” says Producer Alana Feld, “the audience will experience all the excitement, humor, hijinks and spontaneity inherent in both road trips and talent shows. They will be reminded of the fun that ensues when friends work together.”
