Casting for a popular replacement show at Animal Kingdom is now complete and rehearsals have begun. Read on to learn more information.
“Finding Nemo: The Musical”
“In the big blue world…” the song that everyone would be singing after they enjoyed watching “Finding Nemo: The Musical” at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park. This popular 40 minute show, was a live puppet and musical stage show based on Disney and Pixar’s 2003 film Finding Nemo.
When WDW reopened in July 2020 following the COVID-19 pandemic, all stage shows remained closed due to a dispute between the Actors’ Equity Association and WDW over face masks and testing. Sadly, the show permanently closed on March 20, 2020.
Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond!
However, on September 14, 2021, Disney made the announcement that a “reimagined” version of the show would open in 2022. A couple of months later, the show’s name was announced, Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond!.
According to the Walt Disney World website:
Dive into a spectacular stage show—filled with puppets, singers and other performers—set in the underwater world of Disney and Pixar’s Finding Nemo. Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond!- Opening 2022!
Now that casting has completed and actors have received parts, rehearsals have begun on this much anticipated production.
Jared Thomas Bradshaw and Lindsay Bradshaw shared on their Instagram account @broadwaybradshaws that they have both been cast in the show. According to the Bradshaws, rehearsals began on Monday, March 28, and will last for the next month or two.
We all look forward to the opening day announcement of Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond!
