Disneyland sets opening date for Avengers musical at Disney California Adventure
'Rogers: The Musical,' a 30-minute show telling the backstory of Captain America, will open at the Hyperion Theater later this year.
“Rogers: The Musical,” a new Marvel theatrical production that tells the story of Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, will premiere at Disney California Adventure’s Hyperion Theater on June 30, Disneyland announced on Monday, April 10.
The 30-minute show, which will play Tuesdays through Saturdays of most weeks, will feature Rogers, Peggy Carter, Nick Fury and select other Avengers characters. The park will also offer merchandise, food and beverages themed to the production, all of which will be announced closer to its opening.
Disney cryptically teased the upcoming run of “Rogers: The Musical” at the Hyperion during a live performance at the D23 Expo in September at the Anaheim Convention Center. The new production was adapted from a faux Broadway show depicted in the Disney+ series “Hawkeye.”
The new show was written by Tony-nominee Hunter Bell with music by Grammy-winner Christopher Lennertz. Bell wrote the book for “Villains Tonight” on the Disney Cruise Line, according to Broadway World. Lennertz served as music director on Disneyland’s new “Wondrous Journeys” fireworks show.
“Frozen: Live at the Hyperion” was the last show to play at the Hyperion before the theater went dark in 2020 during the yearlong pandemic closure of DCA and Disneyland. The theater has stood vacant since the parks returned in 2021.
