The package was sold out by 8:54 a.m., less than an hour after the park opened.
Signs were erected indicating the package was sold out. This sign would normally display available show times.
“Rogers: The Musical” will run at the Hyperion Theater in Disney California Adventure from June 30 through August 31, 2023. The package will likely continue to sell out quickly.
“Rogers: The Musical” Premium Viewing Experience
Guests can purchase this package from the Studio Catering Co. Truck in Hollywood Land for $29. It will be available in limited quantities per performance.
The package includes the “Rogers: The Musical” popcorn bucket with kettle coin, choice of bottled beverage, access to lounge seating in Stage 12 before the show, priority choice of seating in the theater, a souvenir lanyard, and priority access to a unique photo opportunity.
Guests will check in up to 90 minutes before the show starts and then will be let into the theater about 30 minutes before the show starts.
Here is an official description of this new musical experience:
Exploring universal themes of heroism, romance and self-discovery, “Rogers: The Musical” is an exhilarating and heartfelt experience for Super Hero fans, theater enthusiasts and families alike. Avengers aficionados will appreciate creative interpretations of iconic objects and moments from Steve’s journey, while theater fans will love the eclectic array of musical styles in the score and the show’s original choreography.
“Rogers: The Musical” at Disney California Adventure park is inspired by the fictional Broadway musical theater sequence featured in the first episode of the Disney+ series “Hawkeye.” This new musical project will come to life through the creativity of Disney Live Entertainment in partnership with book writer Hunter Bell, star and book writer of the Tony Award-nominated “[title of show],” and will feature five all-new songs with music by Grammy-winning composer Christopher Lennertz and lyrics by Jordan Peterson, Christopher Lennertz and Alex Karukas. Plus, fan-favorites songs “Save The City” from the Disney+ series “Hawkeye” (written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman), and “Star Spangled Man” from the film “Captain America: The First Avenger” (written by Alan Menken and David Zippel).

“Rogers: The Musical” will be performed several times per day, Tuesday through Saturday, most weeks from June 30 through August 31, 2023. A virtual queue system will be available in the Disneyland app. Joining the virtual queue is not required, but is highly recommended, similar to “World of Color – ONE” also at Disney California Adventure.
Each day that the show is being performed, distribution for the complimentary virtual queue will begin at 10:30 a.m. PT for the first two show times of the day and 2:00 p.m. PT for the remaining show times of the day.

How-to details on the virtual queue system are available at Disneyland.com. If the virtual queue reaches capacity, you can check in at the Hyperion Theater before “Rogers: The Musical” begins for walk-up viewing options.
