Creator's Key Takeaways
I now know that I have a job where I can inspire other people to believe in their dreams, whatever that may be, to inspire other um kids especially to keep going and what is what it is they want to do and instill that same inspiration that I had when I saw my first show in the theater.
It is about a 3 and 1/2 year process. Uh it takes a long time to develop these shows to make sure that they're right for our guests on board and to make sure that we have every element um correct and fleshed out.
We have to make sure that our scenic elements um our performers are safe. Obviously, you saw last night, we have a lot of different things that move in this show. We have puppetry. We've got uh exoskeletons.
The rethinking of that song and the sort of continuation because it doesn't just end where it normally ends, it continues on. That to me is sort of the highlight for me.
