After a year and a half away, Disney Theatrical Productions is getting ready to return to the stage. Two musicals will re-open on Broadway in a matter of weeks (The Lion King and Aladdin), and another 21 shows will open around the world over the course of the next seven months. Thomas Schumacher and Anne Quart recently spoke to Variety's Gordon Cox in a recent episode of his podcast, Stagecraft, about everything that is going into the relaunch.
"We have to raise the entire ecosystem up from the ground," explained Quart. "One particular show can't be more or less important than the other. We have to raise it all up together. Otherwise we're not going to have an industry."
