The show you’re about to see is part of a very special opportunity: this is a pilot production of a brand new Disney musical in the early stages of its development. In fact, this cast is making history: they are part of Disney Theatrical Group’s first-ever JR. show with all original songs! Being part of a pilot production means that the authors are still actively working on the show. They will learn from our production and make changes to the characters, plot, songs, and scenes. In order to make sure Monsters Inc. JR. is set up for success as it continues its evolution, photography and video recording during the performance is strictly prohibited. We will be taking official production photos and video that we will gladly share with family and friends of this talented cast to help commemorate this experience. Thank you for helping us protect the magic of this special show along its creative journey!
