Disney's MOANA, JR!

Based on the 2016 Disney animated film, MOANA JR. brings the adventures of Moana and her village of Motunui to life on stage with all the beloved songs from the film, written by Tony®, GRAMMY, Emmy, and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Lin-Manuel Miranda, Opetaia Foa’i, and Mark Mancina, including “How Far I’ll Go,” “Shiny,” and “You’re Welcome.”

This thrilling and heartwarming coming-of-age story follows the strong-willed Moana as she sets sail across the Pacific to save her village and discover the truth about her heritage. Moana and the legendary demigod Maui embark on an epic journey of self-discovery and friendship as both learn to harness their inner power. With empowering messages of bravery & selflessness, MOANA JR. is sure to bring out the hero within each of us!

Disney and the creators of Moana developed this story in respectful conversation with diverse experts from across Oceania so that its representation of culture could be both accurate and celebrated by Pacific Islanders and non-Pacific Islanders alike. Cast members learned about their history and culture following Disney’s general and specific guidelines for responsible representation of the Pacific Islands.

This production runs just over an hour plus a short intermission.
