Sensory Guide for the Sensory Friendly Performance of Disney's

approximately 70 minutes. Act 2 is 60minutes. Overall time is 2.5 hours
The Sensory Friendly Show will have decreased volume and amplification.
House Lights which are usually off during a performance, will also be on dimly.
Content Considerations
The show features a mix of costumes, from overall-body costumes to
actors holding puppets. Some children may need adults to quietly point
out certain characters.
The show has some emotionally-intense moments which include the
death of characters on stage.
There are several occasions where the characters come into the
audience and close to those on aisle seats.
