Get a 1st Look at Disneyland's Rogers: The Musical

Steve Rogers may have retired from being Captain America onscreen, but he lives on in musical form! Rogers: The Musical begins performances at the Hyperion Theater in Disney's California Adventure Park June 30 for a limited time. Check out video of the show above.

The show has Broadway roots: Tony-winning composing team Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (currently on Broadway with Some Like It Hot) are behind one of the songs for the 30-minute musical. Alan Menken (of Little Shop of Horrors Off-Broadway) and David Zippel (of Bad Cinderella) are behind another.

Rogers: The Musical first began as a comedic sequence in Marvel's Hawkeye TV show on Disney+. Shaiman and Wittman wrote one song: "Save the City," which appeared as a musical sequence in the first episode of Hawkeye, for the fictional musical Rogers, chronicling the life of Steve Rogers, the first Captain America. The song was so popular with Marvel and musical fans that at D23, Disney's annual convention, in 2022, that the company had a live performance of "Save the City," with full costumes and choreography.

Now Rogers: The Musical a full one-act show, to be performed live for audiences at California Adventure Tuesday to Saturday. This new musical project comes to life through the creativity of Disney Live Entertainment in partnership with book writer Hunter Bell (star and book writer of the Tony Award-nominated [title of show]) and will feature five all-new songs with music by Grammy-winning composer Christopher Lennertz and lyrics by Jordan Peterson, Lennertz, and Alex Karukas. The musical will also feature "Save the City," as well as “Star Spangled Man” from the film Captain America: The First Avenger (the latter was written by Alan Menken and David Zippel).

During the limited run of the musical, select locations across Disney California Adventure Park will serve themed items, including special food and beverages designed to fit the aesthetic of Rogers. A new version of Disneyland's always-coveted popcorn buckets will be released to coincide with the show, part of a collectible merchandise release that will be sold near the theatre.
