A brand new stage musical version of Disney’s animated movie Tangled is in the works.
The new show is getting a development workshop as Disney Theatrical Group explores bringing the show to the stage.
Disney already developed a short version of the movie for Disney Cruise Lines in 2015, with three new songs written for the show by Alan Menken (music) and Glenn Slater (lyrics) – “Flower of Gold”, “When She Returns”, and “Wanted Man”.
Tangled is the 2010 animated Disney movie based on Brothers Grimm fairytale Rapunzel. The movie, which starred the voices of Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi, was nominated for an Oscar for the song “I See The Light”. It has also inspired TV movie Tangled: Before Ever After and the short film Tangled Ever After.
The Sister Act and The Little Mermaid musical writers Menken and Slater also wrote the songs for the movie.
The Hollywood Reporter first wrote about this news, qualified by Broadway World, but there’s no confirmed details on whether this new musical will appear on Broadway and in the West End.
You can watch the whole of the Disney Cruise Line version of Tangled in the video, below.
Disney is also developing a new musical based on hit movie musical The Greatest Showman.
Currently playing in the West End are Disney’s The Lion King and Frozen; and the company is also touring Aladdin, Disney on Ice: Dream Big, and Disney In Concert: The Sound of Magic.
Disney is also premiering a new production of their stage musical version of Hercules next month in Germany.
