Yes, Rogers: The Musical is now a real, full-fledged theme park musical but it’s only here for a limited time (though August 31, 2023) and if you want to make the most of seeing the show then you’ll want to opt for the Premium Viewing Experience. We tried it out for ourselves on opening weekend and cannot recommend it enough!

See below for our thoughts on the perks, the view, and the whole process.

About the Show

The Cost

There’s one price for everyone and your proof of purchase is a specifically-colored coded wristband for your specific showtime.

• $29 per person

The View

You are literally the first ones into the theater approximately 25 minutes before showtime so you have your pick of seats. There’s not a single reserved section so you can chose to sit wherever you’d like in the theatre!

You can see from our full video of the show above that we had AMAZING seats. We were amongst the last ones in our Premium Viewing Experience group to enter the theater and still ended up with second-row seats. In the photos below, you can see how full the theater was after all Premium Viewing Experience guests had been seated. There’s still PLENTY of really good seats available by the time they let in Virtual Queue and standby guests.

The Perks

Aside from getting early entry into the theater, there’s a few extra perks to sweeten the pot and they make all the difference for making the experience worth the price tag.

• ROGERS: THE MUSICAL Souvenir Popcorn Bucket filled with kettle corn and choice of bottled beverage
• Access to lounge seating 90 minutes before the show near the Hollywood Lounge bar — in-and-out access is allowed
• A keepsake souvenir lanyard with the show logo is included for fun — it’s not used for anything other than to brag!
• Access to a unique photo opportunity that puts you into the Playbill-style poster for the show. A special Captain America shield is available, too

The Process and Tips

The Hyperion Theatre boasts capacity for nearly 2,000 people at once but the Premium Viewing Experience is limited to just 100 people per show. Because of limited capacity, you’ll want to be prepared to maximize your chances of securing your spot.

Where to Buy

The Premium Viewing Experience cannot be purchased in advance or online. The package can only be purchased day-of AT the location and EVERYONE in yourparty is required to not just be scanned into the park with a valid admission/reservation, but also be present at the time of purchase to get their wristband.

All sales are handled at the Hollywood Lounge in Hollywood Land. Guests of the Disneyland Resort Hotels get early-access to begin making purchases 30 minutes before the park opens. Everyone else must wait in a dedicated section until the park opens. Once the park is open, the queue officially forms and tickets are sold on a first-come first-serve basis.

For opening weekend, wristbands for the first showtime sold out within 20 minutes of the park opening and all remining wristbands had been purchased in less than an hour after park opening.

Getting Your Goodies

After you make your purchase at one of the registers at the Hollywood Lounge, you are directed to the wristband table where you can pick from any of the still-available showtimes. This is also when you’ll get your souvenir lanyard.

All remaining extras (popcorn bucket, soda, and photo-op) are available 90-minutes before showtime at the exclusive lounge located between the Hollywood Lounge where the packages are sold and the Studio Catering Co. truck.

Getting into the Show

You’ll need to be in the reserved lounge area to get access into the theatre. Approximately 25 minutes before showtime, Cast Members will escort you backstage to a House-Left entrance into the theatre. Premium Viewing Experience guests are the first ones into the theatrewith choice of any seat available for the taking.

Final Thoughts

Is it worth it? Hands down, for $29 this is the best way to get into see the show. You don’t have to stress with dealing with Virtual Queue or cross your fingers for Standby. Instead, you get your situation taken care of in the morning and you’re free to do whatever you want until it’s time to take a prime spot to enjoy this 35-minute spectacle banger.
