Disney has released the following information on the upcoming Magic Kingdom stage show:

Buzz Lightyear & Mike Wazowski help “stitch” together an awesome new Magic Kingdom show

There’s a hot new holiday show experience coming to bring a new sense of “cool” to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. Outlandish creatures meet strange new worlds. Comedy and music with an up-to-the-minute pop sound collide in A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas.

This unearthly new show adds up, somehow, as 50% live Radio Disney rock concert, 50% Disney Channel comedy and 50% Disney”Pixar Character celebration. Among the chart-topping holiday hits is a sizzling, explosively choreographed staging of “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” re-creating the hit version heard on Radio Disney.

Our host is interplanetary pop star, Haley Comet (best known to TV fans on the Red Planet as the rockin’ star of The Martian Channel Original Series, “Mona Plutonia”). It is her pleasure and privilege to bring to her Tomorrowland®fans&the one and only Buzz Lightyear!

Buzz recounts the intense, gripping adventure that is, of course, “Jingle Bells.” Our favorite space ranger brings to this piece a level of gravitas only a starship captain can. Buzz emotes it to the hilt, once again making the holidays safe from evil (but not necessarily from scenery chewing).

Now, what’s the holiday season without the inevitable get-together with that special monster in your life? Mike Wazowski takes the stage with some great material that just killed ’em in the mountain resorts of Monstropolis—a knockout take on“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” The rockin’, rollin’ capers and cut-ups of these frolicsome friends are festooned with intergalactic interactivity.

Well, Stitch, you’ve done it again!.”

All the while, Stitch has been exploring the cosmos to keep track of Santa’s journey. The little alien, who tends to get things a little muddled, doesn’t quite understand the whole “happy holiday” concept. Things get cosmically crazy for a while, but hey—it’s the holiday season and this is a Magic Kingdom® show, so how do you think it all works out? Stitch brings the spirit of friends and family, and it’s a happy holiday “‘Ohana” for all.

All these holiday hijinks and pop music explosions are waiting for you during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. And while you’re at Mickey’s party, head over to Adventureland®to check out how pirates “arr”-ring in the holidays with the music and comedy of Rusty Cutlass, a swashbuckling band whose yuletide repertoire includes the evergreen “Grandma Ran Away to Be a Pirate.”

A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas starring Buzz Lightyear, Mike Wazowski and Stitch premieres November 10, the first night of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, magically fun evenings of parades, fireworks, treats and select popular Magic Kingdom attractions.

“A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas!” Confirmed

WDWNT Author on October 26, 2009

A recent Disney press release concerning Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party confirms that “A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas!” show is coming to the Magic Kingdom, at least on party nights:

Walt Disney World Resort unwraps a sleighful of entertainment offerings during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom on 19 select evenings beginning Nov. 10 – including a rockin’ new stage show to welcome the winter wonderland season.  “A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas!” features Stitch, Buzz Lightyear, Mike Wazowski and a jubilant cast of party-goers who discover the true meaning of the season during their annual Christmas party.  The interactive musical revue features “songs of the season” in the style of today’s hottest Radio Disney hits.
As previously reported, this show will use the new Tomorrowland stage formerly occupied by Stitch’s Supersonic Celebration.
What “songs of the season in the style of today’s hottest Radio Disney hits” actually means for the soundtrack of this new show is questionable. Does this mean that there will be holiday songs performed by Miley Cyrus and other Disney singers or will the music simply be “pop” versions of some classic holiday favorites?
It is also uncertain as to which, if any, characters will appear on stage and who will may appear on the screen above guests. There is a slight possibility of the living character technology being used in this show, but seeing as the description does not mention it, we are lead to believe that Mike Wazowski, Stitch, and Buzz Lightyear will be there in-person for each performance.
One final question we have is concerning performances of this show following the conclusion of the Christmas Parties. Since the now defunct “Mickey’s Twas the Night Before Christmas” show and all of the other entertainment from the party typically became a part of the Magic Kingdom’s regular entertainment schedule during the holiday weeks, will “A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas!” make the cut as well? Only time will tell.
