Get ready Marvel fans, something NEW has arrived in a Disney park that’s just for YOU!

Avengers Campus

Earlier this year, Disney announced that a new Rogers: The Musical show would be coming to Disney California Adventure Park for a limited time. We’ve seen a few details about the show, like how it’ll offer a virtual queue system. But recently we got the chance to get a SNEAK PEEK of this show and all it has to offer. So, come along with us to experience it all!

Show Basics

Rogers: The Musical was first featured in the show Hawkeye. The show started off as a fictional Broadway musical but now it has come to life…for REAL.

According to Disney, this new show explores “universal themes of heroism, romance, and self-discovery” and is an “exhilarating and heartfelt experience for Super Hero fans, theater enthusiasts, and families alike.”

The show will be offered at the Hyperion Theater in Disney California Adventure for a limited time — only from June 30th through August 31st, 2023. This particular production is a short, one-act musical based on the life of Steve Rogers, the first Captain America.

It features interpretations and moments from Steve’s story, as well as an “eclectic array of musical styles in the score and the show’s original choreography.”

Within the show, you’ll see the Starkettes, Peggy Carter, Young Steve, Nick Fury, and Steve Rogers. It’ll have a runtime of around 30 minutes and will be available Tuesday-Saturday most weeks.

The production will include some songs you may be familiar with as well as 5 new songs written for the show. Here’s the full list of songs:

U-S-Opening Night
I Want You
Star Spangled Man
What You Missed
Save the City
End of the Line
Just One Dance
Rogers: The Musical Finale / Save the City (Reprise)

According to Disney, Avengers fans will want to look closely for “creative interpretations” of certain iconic objects and moments from Steve Rogers’ journey. Plus, there will be layered, two-dimensional scenery, a 2,200-square-foot video screen that helps set the scene, and more.

Our team member who got to see the show shared that it was one of the BEST Disney theme park musicals they’ve ever seen!

They noted that it was on par with a Broadway-level show and was put together really well. It’s also one that’s friendly for all ages.

Goosebumps, tears — we felt it ALL while seeing this show!

We also really loved that (during our media event at least) there was an ASL translator that was almost a part of the show, making this accessible to more audiences.

The technology used in the show was spectacular and unlike anything our reporter had seen in other theme park shows.

There was even an explosion effect on stage with smoke — talk about special effects! The set is nicely detailed and really immerses you in the story.

The thing that really struck out to us was the technology and just how this was a level-up compared to other theme park shows we’ve seen.

And yes, fully expect to walk out of this show with a ton of the songs stuck in your head all day — don’t say we didn’t warn ya!

Since it’ll only be around for a very limited time, you’ll want to check it out before it’s gone.

Virtual Queue

Disney has announced that a virtual queue will be offered for the show through the Disneyland app, though it is not technically necessary to join to see the show.

On days when Rogers: The Musical is holding performances, the virtual queue will open at 10:30AM PT for the first two show times of the day, and 2PM PT for the other show times of the day.

Again, joining the virtual queue is NOT required, but it is highly recommended to ensure a seat. If the virtual queue reaches capacity, you’ll be able to check with Cast Members at the Hyperion Theater to see if any walk-up viewing options are available.
