Disney Cruise Line will debut Toy Story-The Musical, based on the Oscar-winning animated film, this April aboard its ship, Disney Wonder.

The show, to be directed by Stefan Novinski, will feature a seven-song score by Valerie Vigoda and Brendan Milburn of Groovelily and a book by Mindi Dickstein.
It will feature a repertory cast of 21 performers. The show has sets by Sibyl Wickersheimer and costumes by Ann Closs-Farley.

The story explores the true meaning of friendship as toys Buzz Lightyear and Woody transform from jealous adversaries to true friends.
