If say that’s highly likely to be the costume if they’ve put it on display alongside a photo of the UK leads. |

Just googled and does look the same as the shanghai themepark version. |

1 costume would would stop you booking for a show??
I like the dress, with flower embroidery on it. It sets itself apart from the usual gold rouched version, that has been done to death.

Is there any evidence this is still set to go into the Palladium at some time in the future?

Absolutely, it's a key costume and it looks incredibly cheap and like a theme park costume (which as it turns out it is) and speaks volumes as to what can be expected as to the level of a production. I have no interest in seeing another UK Productions style version. If what the poster above has posted is correct though, that looks potentially stunning so hope is restored. |

A bit odd that they'd display the theme park costume in a section that promotes the new production of the musical...
Anyway, I might swing by this exhibition if I find myself around there!
And yes, is the Palladium happening?

I suspect they want to open the show first and see if it’s any good before confirming the Palladium

It looks as if it was inspired by the V&A's Dior exhibition from 2018/19. |

Just googled and does look the same as the shanghai themepark version. That actually makes sense to me, as the embroidery et al seems to be influenced by the Chinese Couturier Guo Pei (Rhianna wore one of her massive gowns at the Met Gala). I had a couple of friends at Disney who were part of the ground team for the media opening launch at Shanghai Disneyland, and I know that a lot of things had to be changed to make them more appealing to the local audience. |

The set features a very large 14m x 8m LED Video wall at the back of the stage!
Fingers crossed the show doesn’t rely too heavily on graphics at the back then!
(A post explaining and showing it is tagged under the location of the Bristol Hippodrome on Instagram)
A revolve can also been seen on the stage deck!

I hope it’s a subtle mix of new and classic. Disney certainly has the resources for creating something magical. Would be disappointed if the preshow curtain is just the projection shown on that Instagram video. It’s the only thing that felt magic-less of the original production, in my opinion.
Any news on how the orchestra will be? Has Disney behaved well this time?

Looks like a track to me as the line doesn’t come all the way around (zoom in bottom left ),  |

They do have a revolve.
I suspect those castle renderings will be on the video wall.

Still trying to decide whether to punt and see this at Bristol when it opens, or hold out for more dates to be announced elsewhere. As would have seen the original opening at Curve, but we all know what happened there, so holding out for it coming into town also *fingers crossed*
I don't have anything to compare to regarding the original production, so really looking forward to seeing this on stage, everything we've seen so far does look promising!
