Disney in New York
Now that my daughters are at ages where they can (sort of!) sit still in a movie theater-yes, with bribery in the form of candy, popcorn and the usually forbidden soda- I decided to scope out some local plays they may be interested in seeing. It appears that Disney productions-from “Peter Pan” to “The Aristocats”- are the hot tickets these days. So, now, in addition to watching Disney’s “Enchanted” at home, which seems to be on a continuous loop in my DVD player, we can go out to see a princess-y, sing-song-y, let’s-talk-to-the- animals-show in real life, too.
Here are some popular Disney productions now appearing in Long Island and Manhattan theaters:
