A Guide to Marvel’s Rogers: The Musical at Disneyland Resort

The Broadway show that fictional critics called a “super-powered sensation” and “an all-American musical for an all-American hero” is becoming a reality at the Disneyland Resort. In February, Disney Parks announced Rogers: The Musical — inspired by an Avengers musical number in Marvel Studios’ Hawkeye TV series — would hit the Hyperion Theater stage at Disney California Adventure Park this summer. Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be able to marvel at the all-new, one-act live theater production for a limited time when Rogers: The Musical begins its special engagement on June 30th. 

Below, find out everything you need to know about how to watch Rogers: The Musical. 

Rogers: The Musical, Explained

In the “Never Meet Your Heroes” episode of Marvel’s Hawkeye, Avengers archer Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) attends the Broadway production Rogers: The Musical. The superhero spectacle is a musical interpretation of the life of World War II Super Soldier and man out of time Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), the first Captain America, who assembled alongside Earth’s mightiest heroes in 2012’s The Avengers.

Featuring the musical number “Save the City” about the Battle of New York, the catchy and deliberately campy Broadway spoof was written by real-life songwriting duo Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray, Smash, Mary Poppins Returns). Viewers who stayed tuned for the Hawkeye finale’s post-credits scene saw the full (fictional) performance of “Save the City,” which Marvel released as a single and later opened Marvel’s panel presentation at Disney’s D23 Expo in September.

What Is Rogers: The Musical About?

Disney describes Rogers: The Musical at Disney California Adventure: “This production features a talented cast of singers and dancers telling the story of Steve Rogers — Captain America — joined by Peggy Carter, Nick Fury and select members of the Avengers. The musical will take the audience on a journey from Steve’s humble beginnings during World War II to becoming Captain America, leading the Avengers and beyond. It’s a classic tale of heroes, time travel, and romance, oh … and Nick Fury sings!”
