If you missed Rogers: The Musical at Disney California Adventure this summer, you’ll still be able to hear it. The original cast recording of the Marvel stage show is set to arrive on streaming services this Friday, September 15, 2023.
From a Hawkeye Joke to a Real Musical
Rogers: The Musical started as a gag in the Disney+ series Hawkeye, where Clint Barton sat through a Broadway-style musical about Captain America and the Battle of New York. The show-stopping number “Save the City,” written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, became a fan favorite, and Disney turned the joke into reality.
The live production played a limited summer engagement at the Hyperion Theater in Disney California Adventure. The one-act show follows Steve Rogers from his days as a skinny kid in Brooklyn to his life as Captain America, with appearances by Peggy Carter, Bucky Barnes, Nick Fury and more.
What’s on the Album
The cast recording captures the stage show’s songs as performed by its Disneyland cast. Along with “Save the City,” the musical includes “Star Spangled Man,” the Alan Menken and David Zippel song first heard in Captain America: The First Avenger, plus brand-new songs written for the stage show by Christopher Lennertz and Alex Karpovsky.
Will Rogers: The Musical Come Back?
The show’s run at the Hyperion was always billed as limited, and Disney hasn’t announced any plans to bring it back. For now, the cast recording is the best way for fans to relive the show, or experience it for the first time if they couldn’t make it to Anaheim.
The Disneyland Resort has more on the way, too, including a Haunted Mansion expansion coming in 2024. Keep an eye on your favorite streaming service this Friday to hear Rogers: The Musical for yourself.
