Most recently, fans were treated to Rogers: The Musical, a Marvel-inspired show that ran for a limited time in 2023. Although many hoped for its return, Disney has shifted gears to bring an entirely new production to life.
In a recent casting call, Disney hinted at the exciting direction this new show might take. According to the official Disney Careers website, the company is searching for a dynamic performer to portray a “DJ who is youthful, quirky, and has great comic timing.”
The description emphasizes the need for someone with strong improvisational skills, the ability to engage with children, and experience with modern pop dance styles.
