CYT Denver Presents Disney’s Mulan, Jr. at Historic Mainstreet Center

PARKER, Colo. (Jan. 1, 2011) – CYT Denver returns to Parker’s Mainstreet Center with Disney’s Mulan, Jr.—an action-packed stage adaptation of one of Disney’s most beloved films. The theatrical performance takes audiences back to the legendary, storytelling days of ancient China. The Huns have invaded, and it is up to the misfit Mulan and her mischievous sidekick Mushu to save the Emperor! Disney’s Mulan, Jr. is a heartwarming celebration of culture, honor and a fighting spirit.

The play includes convincing performances from nearly 50 young actors, ages 8 to 18—who spend nearly 10 hours each week working closely with the show’s artistic staff. Attendees will enjoy score favorites like “Honor to Us All,” and “I’ll Make a Man Out of You”—as well as a number of new songs.

“To make the dancing and choreography more authentic, the team worked with a fight instructor,” said show director Michelle Shannon. “In addition, the beautiful sets and costumes have been hand-designed by a committed team of parents. It’s exciting to see it all coming together into something that the entire group is proud of—and that families of all ages can enjoy.”

Mulan, Jr. runs approximately 1.75 hours, including intermission, and will be performed Jan. 27 and Feb. 3 at 7 PM, and Jan. 28 and Feb. 4 at 2 PM and 7 PM. Mulan’s acting team will also perform for school-day and home school audiences on Wed., Jan. 25 at 10:30 AM. Admission is $7/person for the school-day performance, and advance-purchase tickets for weekend shows are $15/adult, $12.50/child. Tickets can be purchased by calling 303-653-4716 or by visiting www.cytdenver.org.
