Disney is revamping the beloved “Finding Nemo-The Musical!” We learned back in September that the show, which has not yet returned since the Parks closed in 2020, would be undergoing some BIG changes! From Disney Parks Blog,

“Finding Nemo — The Musical” has been delighting our guests since 2007, and I’m excited to tell you a reimagined show, based on the same beloved characters, will debut in 2022.

Although our Disney Live Entertainment team is still in the early stages of development for the show, the musical retelling of this underwater tale of family, friendship and kindness will feature new story material, as well as fan favorite songs such as “In the Big Blue World” and “Go with the Flow.”

This newly reimagined show will be called Finding Nemo: The Big Blue…and Beyond. Finding Nemo: The Big Blue and Beyond picks up after Finding Dory and is told through the eyes of the “Tank Gang.” The show features many of the same amazing songs, and amazing puppetry we have come to love about the original show.

We also know we will see many characters from the film that we know and love, like Crush, Dory, and of course, Nemo.

Josh D’Amaro, Disney Parks Chairman, has shared a photo on his Instagram from cast rehearsals for “Finding Nemo: The Big Blue…and Beyond.”

Just going with the flow at rehearsals for “Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond!” I had a blast today spending time with the amazingly talented performers and crew getting ready to bring it to life onstage at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. I can’t wait for you to see all the special things they’re working on to take you back into that big, blue world…
