It could be worst. Back when Disneyland had the MSEP, Fantasmic was going as well. SG were so bad. When the music combined, it sounded like a really bad popka.
Good luck with the training and fun. Don't forget you cattle prong!

Congrats! A good friend of mine was in F! years ago (I think she may have been part of the opening cast) and performed several tracks in the show - was always fun to know where she was when we'd catch a performance, esp. when we could cheer her on if she was one of the Native Americans floating by in the canoes in the Pocahontas scene. :D:

Well i was speaking with a Show Manager for F! and they said that Sept is going to be the definning moment for the show....
Show managment had to decide to either...
1: Close the show and only open it as a Seasonal Show
or
2: Open it back to full time, do an over haul on key show pieces
The reasoning behind this is mainly that the show costs are apx. 88k per show.
They have to pay out premiums <sp?> such as:
1: Noise
2: Pyro
3: Stunt
4: Face
With char. like John Smith who get paid the most... show ops cant "afford" all this...
Please take all that is said as being conjectual and possably not true... but I report to you what ever anyone tells me... truth or other wise.... Just like CNN... =-P
