Though the show uses Disney material, Disney spokesperson Dennis M. Crowley said it is not a Disney production.
Tuacahn, which has hosted large-scale productions of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Starlight Express, along with Disney's Tarzan, Mulan and Mary Poppins, is producing the new show, which uses existing Disney songs and characters, but has a narrative through-line that makes it different from previous revues like the 2004-05 Disney-produced touring show On the Record.
It's being presented as part of Tuacahn's "Broadway in the Desert" series.
Tickets cost $22.50-$69.50 and can be ordered at Tuacahn.org.
