Disney’s The Magic Box is set to enchant audiences in Abu Dhabi from February 6th to 15th, 2025, at the Etihad Arena on Yas Island. This innovative theatrical production promises to be a spellbinding celebration of Disney’s century-long legacy, offering a unique blend of nostalgia and contemporary magic.
A Multisensory Disney Adventure
The Magic Box is not your typical Disney show. It’s an immersive 90-minute journey that brings together beloved stories, songs, and characters in a spectacular fashion. The production features:
– A medley of over 75 iconic Disney songs like A Whole New World (Aladdin), We Don’t Talk About Bruno (Encanto), How Far I’ll Go (Moana), Circle of Life (The Lion King), and Let It Go (Frozen).
– Elaborate costumes and stunning visual effects
– Innovative puppetry and animated sculptures
– Grand-scale projections that transport audiences to various Disney worlds
The Story Within the Box
At the heart of this magical experience is Mara, the show’s protagonist, whose journey through the titular Magic Box serves as the narrative thread. As Mara explores different lands within the box, she encounters fan-favorite characters like Mickey, Donald, and Goofy, bringing the audience along on her enchanting adventure.
Behind the Magic
The show is the brainchild of Felipe Gamba Paredes, a former Disney executive with over 15 years of experience. Gamba describes The Magic Box as a love letter to the timeless stories and music that have defined generations. The international creative team includes director Thaddeus McWhinnie Phillips, choreographer Lynne Kurdziel Formato, and musical director Isaac Saul.
