13 Things The Walt Disney Company Does With Your Money

8. Hits the Stage

The Walt Disney Company is certainly not new to live entertainment, with Disney segments featured in performances of the Ice Capades starting back in 1949.  While those segments would pave the way for the eventual Disney On Ice shows, the Disney Theatrical Group has more recently been responsible for taking iconic Disney feature films and successfully adapting them for the Broadway stage.  Starting with Beauty and the Beast back in 1994, other Disney Broadway productions have included The Lion King, Mary Poppins, Tarzan, The Little Mermaid, and Aladdin.  And for Disney fans unable to make the trip to New York City, Disney Theatrical Group presents live shows worldwide and licenses their titles for community theater and school productions as well.
