“Beauty and the Beast” was the first to take Disney to the Broadway stage in 1994, and since then their productions like “Frozen, and “The Lion King” have scored 20 Tony Awards and 60 nominations.

We all want the St James theater version of Frozen on Broadway revival
When Tarzan came on in the Netherlands, it was a major hit though. It ran for about two years and even changed some of the cast halfway through. That hardly happens here in the Netherlands, since we're such a small audience (and don't enjoy the tourist audiences that Broadway and West End have)
Why did I think Annie was a Disney property?
I got to see lion and the little mermaid on its opening night
Beauty and the Beast revival in the theatre from Frozen (St James) – Mark my words!
Still mad newsies closed..
Next Time They Should Do Toy Story On Broadway!
I love Frozen!!! Frozen is my life!!!!! ðŸ˜ÂðŸ˜ÂðŸ˜Â
Oh boy do I LOVE Aladdin!!! It's like my all time favorite musical! It's Disney, it has amazing costumes, I had a great view, the sets are too notch, and do I really have to mention The GENIE!!!?
Is no one going to talk about how Mary Poppins has a London revival and is the first musical from Disney to be revived even though it's basically the same production
After watching Frozen 2 THIS ONE CAME INTO MY RECOMMENDATION!!
They need India Menzell to play Elsa on broadway.😂
Tarzan rocked tho i LOVED it
We need a Little Mermaid revival! It's time!!!
Is it wrong to believe Little Mermaid is better than Lion King? 😂
When I saw Aladdin, it was my first broadway, and I started my new obsession with a bang! Thank you Disney!
Tarzan was amazing! I loved it as much as the lion King! But I've only seen it in Germany, maybe the staging was different? I thought it was an amazing experience ðŸ˜Â
This is irrelevant, but THERE’S A REAL MICHEAL SCOTT?!
What's the name of the reporter?
Okay, I’m sorry but don’t dis the Little Mermaid!!!!!

What was the play
There’s need to be a Broadway show of all these shows put together
They to put High School Musical on Broadway like this comment if you agree
"The Little Mermaid" was the first musical I saw on Broadway. I absolutely adore Ariel and the movie is one of my favorites. The show was visually stunning, and I loved the new song Ursula got to sing.
yall really blew off newsies like it doesn't have amazing hits and absolutely beautiful choreography. the songs definitely resonate with young people today and i truly think a revival would be awesome
Speaking as a performer, I hate the Disney Broadway shows. They try to make everything a copy of the movie – the sets and costumes all have to look like the movies, and all the actors have to sound exactly like the cast from the movies. A movie shouldn't become a play unless they can do something new and unique with it. That's the whole point of theater.
Beauty and the Beast was the very first show I saw on Broadway and it was magical! I have seen many other Broadway shows, some very big productions, and I can still remember how awestruck I was at the Be Our Guest number. I am so excited for the revival!!!
AIDA is the best thing Disney ever put their hands on. No joke.
