Disney Live! Winnie the Pooh
PRODUCED BY FELD ENTERTAINMENT.
“Disney Live! Winnie the Pooh on Stage offers audiences young and old an unforgettable
live entertainment experience and a chance to see Winnie the Pooh like never before,”
said Producer Kenneth Feld, chairman and CEO of Feld Entertainment. “When the
audience walks in and sees the set before them, they will feel like they are walking right
into the Hundred Acre Wood. For many children, this will be their first theatrical
experience, which will set the bar for what they expect to see for the rest of their lives.”
Each of the memorable character’s personalities shines on stage, as all the friends work
together to plan a surprise birthday party for Pooh. Keeping Pooh distracted from
remembering that it is his birthday, Piglet accompanies the bear in his ongoing quest for a
“smackerel” of honey and visits each character to find out what they think makes a
perfect day. Along the way, they get carried away in the adventures that unfold and take
audiences through an imaginative musical journey.
“Creating this production of Disney Live! Winnie the Pooh on Stage has been a wonderful
journey for all of us back to the days of fun and innocence exemplified by life in the
Hundred Acre Wood,” says Feld Creative Director Jerry Bilik. “Our objective has been
to open a portal that allows all who come to the show to visit this very special world and
to enjoy their visit with the delightful characters who dwell therein.”
Tigger bounces, Pooh and Piglet get carried away by balloons on a blustery day and
Eeyore contributes his usual “enthusiasm” for the bustling activity around him, all while
Rabbit franticly assigns tasks and manages the preparations for the party. Director BT
McNicholl says about his role for the show, “from the beginning, we went about making
sure that each scene, each song and each moment was engaging in the best way.” From
the moment the towering trees part on the stage, revealing the depth and beauty of
Winnie the Pooh’s world, to the moment the audience leaves the theater singing the
signature “Winnie the Pooh” song, the show is sure to capture the heart of anyone who
attends.
