No More Villains!

[Cackyschmackers]

Currently ready to board the Dream, looking at the Personal Navigator, Newsies (the movie) has replaced Villains Tonight! I asked a CM, and she said it's a permanent change since they're currently switching over the stage to BATB in November. Wow, I wasn't a fan, but my kids are bummed. Wish we could see the new BATB!

Love Villains tonight show!!
It will be missed, looking forward to Beauty and the Beast though....

Have Fun!

I can see why you'd be disappointed - going from a live stage show to a movie like that is a big change to learn about at the last minute.

 

[Rabb it]

Wow what a bummer! But showing a movie instead, that's so lame!

Have a great trip. In 3 weeks, we will be waiting to board the dream as well. Cant wait.

Is it the 1992 movie or the filmed theatrical production that they released this year? If it's the one from this year- it's a fantastic show, even if it isn't live in front of you.

Bummer...IMO 'Villains' was the best of all DCL stage shows.

We'll be on the Dream in January and are very excited for the new show but I would be incredibly disappointed if this was the substitution before the new show begins. I just assumed they would keep "Villains Tonight" until it was switched out.

 

[mouselike-harrier]

Noooooooo! We are scheduled next week on the Dream. We love Villains Tonight and were going to do a special final viewing. Major Bummer!

The reason they had to close Villains before putting BATB in is because they have to put entirely new sets in. In all the other cases when a change of show has been made there has been a dry dock to provide time to do it. The show sets are not something that can just be popped out and new ones in in one night.

I find it hard to believe it is gonna take them 2 months to change a stage set

Anyone know if Disney has a clause in the terms and conditions about live shows/entertainment? Seems like since they are omitting a night of a live stage show with basically three days notice (or in the case of the OP, no advanced notice) compensation in the form of an onboard credit seems fair.

All things are "subject to change" on a cruise. Even whether you actually depart from the embarkation port.

think about it for a minute, new show means new stage props, which means it will take time to change over, which means they can't do it during the day, which means it will take time to make the change over, which means why they are replacing the stage show with a movie. Why am I so not concerned, I'm sailing Dec 4th which means the new stage show will be showing

My least favorite stage show so I am not sad but I feel bad for those of you who do enjoy it.

Right, also, I would think they could really only work on it when the Dream's in Canaveral. Otherwise, they'd have to have a place to store the things they've removed and space is always at a premium on the ship...

The movie night would be a great night to hit the pool or aquaduck.

I would much rather have them just do believe or golden mickeys again than show some stupid movie as newsies...just saying

It says Broadway Smash Hit Musical, so I'm guessing the new one currently on Broadway?

Me,.too!

That's the plan!

I actually couldn't stand Villains (so I'm secretly okay with it. ..shhhh) but would have loved a chance to see BATB stage show!

 

[elvispursley]

Don't understand why they wouldn't run a more recent first-run movie? Although, I frankly would rather watch Newsies than be tortured watching Into The Woods again *shudder* That would have been a GREAT time to visit the pool/aquaduck!!
