The newest addition to Disney California Adventure at Disneyland Resort isn’t an exciting ride based on a popular animated film; rather, it’s a Broadway-style stage musical based on Captain America. Rogers: The Musical has gone from being a punchline in an episode of Hawkeye to becoming a real thing. And make no mistake, Disneyland’s Rogers: The Musical is a legitimately great show. It feels like the creators really did their best to try and make the show as close to a real Broadway production as possible, which leads me to the question: could Rogers: The Musical actually end up on Broadway?
I am forced to believe that not only could such a thing happen, I think there just might be a chance that the show’s purpose at Disneyland Resort, or at least one of them, was to test exactly these waters and see if a real Broadway run was possible. There’s a lot about Rogers: The Musical’s production which is unusual for a Disneyland stage show, but would make a lot more sense if this show is acting as a sort of Broadway workshop. I've been following and studying the theme park industry for a long time, and this isn't the first time we've seen a scenario that looked like this.
