I think an Encanto musical would be beautiful. The music in the movie is lively and really resonates with audiences, infact I still have the song “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” stuck in my head even though I watched it such a long time ago. I can’t wait to learn about and see how the team approaches the many magical moments in the movie to preserve their whimsy — how Isabela’s flower room will come to life, how each character’s magical abilities will be revealed, especially how Antonio’s room of animals and Camilo’s shapeshifting abilities will be presented, etc. The show would be spectacular if the production and technical aspects were executed well. The characters’ Colombian backgrounds would also create more opportunities for people of color on stage, as the cast aim to reflect the cultural identity of the original story. I just wish the musical were accessible outside of the cruise ship as well, so I wouldn’t have to find the time and money to go on a cruise just to see it.
