The nighttime spectacular became national news last year when the Maleficent, in her dragon form, went up in flames during a performance. A reimagined show debuts with new pyro, laser and water effects.
For more than three decades, Disneyland's nighttime show 'Fantasmic!' has lighted up the Anaheim park's Rivers of America. A story about our dreams and nightmares centered heavily on Disney's animated works, 'Fantasmic!' has long boasted an assortment of projections, pyrotechnics and fireworks. In 2023, however, a key portion of the show caught fire.
Longo, currently the show director for 'Fantasmic!,' says the team began workshopping the new scenes in mid-December, meaning she's been on an overnight work schedule for the last five months. In an industry where live productions can have relatively short — or repeatedly on and off runs — Longo was asked how 'Fantasmic!' has endured. 'I think it reflects the wonderful combination of theatrical technology and classic Disney,' Longo says.
