Disneyland Golden Horseshoe Jamboree (very early treatment - again if you are looking for something different)

Disneyland Golden Horseshoe Jamboree (early treatment)

Many years ago, in a galaxy far, far away (California)...
I helped write a live stage show for Disneyland and Walt Disney World.  Here is a wonderful memory of a long running favorite, The Golden Horseshoe Jamboree (The Diamond Horseshoe Jamboree in Florida). Marilyn Magness was the show's director and choreographer. I was the  musical director and was in charge of writing and arranging the show. The Golden Horseshoe Jamboree title song was our original collaboration.

This particular video is one of the earliest versions of the show which underwent adjustments and fine tuning as it ran in the theme parks for many years. It is great to see this early treatment. I hope it brings a smile to you, too.  gp

Sanrio Puroland Christmas Show (if your are looking for something different)

Here is the Christmas Show in its Sanrio Puroland (Tokyo) version. I haven't heard this in 30 years. The show was directed and choreographed by Baayork Lee (of A Chorus Line original cast fame) and Matt West (of A Chorus Line movie fame). The musical director (arrangements and studio production) was by yours truly. MelloMacs should especially get a kick out of this. Maybe we can learn the show in Japanese. gp
