Stitch Getting a Makeover Already?

The 'net is abuzz with rumors that Stitch's Supersonic Celebration will close within the next two weeks for changes. This high-energy show in Tomorrowland has only been in operation about six weeks, but tepid reviews have focused on the lack of story line as well as the lack of shady seating--or any seating--for guests.


One has to question the wisdom of building a theatre (er, a stage and sound booth) for a show featuring a character that doesn't have a current show on Disney Channel and whose only theatrical release was in 2002. And, did we mention that there's no appearance by Lilo in the show? I mean, what's Stitch without Lilo? (We skipped the show on our recent trip based on that fact alone.) Still, you gotta hand it to Disney for taking immediate action to fix what was obviously (well...obvious now) a mistake.



It will be interesting to see if rumor becomes reality. And to see what Disney does to make this show work.

Update: Apparently Disney decided to close the show, rather than revive it. The final performance of Stitch's Supersonic Celebration was June 27, 2009. Stay tuned for info about what might replace this short-lived show.
