In the years of planning and constructing Shanghai Disneyland (SDL) Disney executives strove for a glocalization approach, repeating the mantra “authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese.” In this essay Laura MacDonald examines how this mantra manifests in the musical stage performances found in the SDL theme park. In The Lion King and in the park’s other live shows, Chinese culture such as the legend of the Monkey King and acrobats have been incorporated, while other aspects of the entertainment experience remain American. MacDonald considers localizations in the park's live performances, casting, and marketing and evaluates the strategy behind the cross-cultural collaboration that Broadway musical theatre represents at SDL. Chinese consumers are themselves products of glocalization–the process of creating products and services for a global market that are simultaneously global and local. SDL facilitates that very process of grooming consumers for the global marketplace, developing the Chinese appetite for the broad menu of Disney brands, while reinforcing the distinctions and pleasures of local Chinese culture. Equipped with a Shanghainese Disney passport, glocalized Chinese consumers are primed to generate long-running performances with the potential to sustain Disney, and perhaps even Broadway, far into the future.
