From September 12 to October 31, guests are invited to embark on an unforgettable musical journey during the ever- popular Disney Halloween Time event, made even more immersive thanks to an epic lineup of spooky musical experiences, which will fill the park all day and night. The journey begins with the brand-new musical stage show, “Let’s Get Wicked,” which is making its world debut in the park and featuring enthralling performances by infamous Disney Villains as well as mesmerizing theme songs that are guaranteed to captivate the imagination of audiences. Meanwhile, “Jack Skellington’s Villainous Gathering” will see an assortment of Disney Villains taking over the Castle Hub Stage and use the power of music to spread their evil influences. “Mickey’s Halloween Time Street Party!” is also returning this year, along with a wide range of Halloween activities for guests of all ages. With non-stop supernatural fun and music offerings awaiting guests at HKDL, Hong Kong residents can now double up on their time at the park by taking advantage of the exclusive “Double the Fun” promotion*, to enjoy Halloween two different days for just HK$688! Only at HKDL – Disney Villains take over at the world’s first “Let’s Get Wicked” Halloween musical stage show! “Let’s Get Wicked” is a new 25-minute musical stage show created for HKDL guests. This limited-time Halloween offering is the world’s first to feature live performances from five iconic Disney Villains – Ursula from The Little Mermaid, Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians, Dr. Facilier from The Princess and the Frog, Gaston from Beauty and the Beast and Mother Gothel from Tangled. As a true celebration of music, guests will be immersed in a wide array of musical styles throughout the show, such as Broadway, pop, rock and tango. An original number, “Let’s Get Wicked,” was created exclusively for the show, while the signature songs of all five Disney Villains have been exquisitely re-arranged to incorporate new musical styles, instantly transporting guests on an unforgettable musical journey! The new designs of the Disney Villains’ costumes are heavily inspired by their stories and wicked characteristics, helping to bring the Villains to life in never-before-seen ways, including the use of special effects and choreography.
