This Orlando Sentinel article roughly traces the history of Disney on Broadway, or more specifically, the evolution of the Disney Theatrical Group and its success and minor failures on Broadway. The highlight,of course, was, and still is, the Lion King.
The challenge right now obviously is The Little Mermaid, especially in light of the tepid critical reviews that it has gotten. Would the audience ignore the critics again the way it did for Beauty and the Beast?
We shall see. Still, whether you like Michael Eisner or not, you have to hand it to him for pushing Disney in this direction.
