Upper Darby Summer Stage has been selected as the first theatre in the Philadelphia region to tackle this emotional story, exploring the good and evil tendencies inside of everyone. Adding to the spectacle is an onstage choir. The Mainstage production is not a children’s theater show and is not performed by children.
Composer Allen Menken spoke about the production in an interview. “It’s much more than simply a Disney animated musical brought to the stage,” said Menken. “It’s a pretty serious musical. It represents a huge coming together of talent. It’s anything but a musical comedy. It’s a musical drama.”
