Marvel fans will be able to see heroic supersoldier Steve Rogers sing and dance on stage for the first time ever in Disneyland Resort's one-act musical theatre production "Rogers: The Musical." Disneyland opened the 30-minute musical last week at the Hyperion Theatre in Disney California Adventure Park as part of Walt Disney's (DIS.N) 100th anniversary celebration. According to Reuters, it will be open until August 31.

According to the report, 'Rogers: The Musical' was first mentioned as a fictional Broadway musical in the first episode of the Disney+ miniseries 'Hawkeye,' which is about the superhero Clint Barton, an archer who uses high-tech weaponry.

“From the moment we saw that first episode of the 'Hawkeye' series, we started to imagine ‘What if? What if we could turn 'Rogers: The Musical' into a real show?’" Dan Fields, executive creative director for Disney Live Entertainment, told Reuters.

"And clearly the fans online were wondering the same thing – practically demanding it!” he added.

The musical follows the life of Steve Rogers, also known as the patriotic American superhero Captain America, and includes the musical number 'Save the City,' from the film 'Hawkeye,' as well as five new songs written by Grammy-winning composer Christopher Lennertz, the report said. 

Last year, Marvel debuted the first live performance of 'Save the City' at the Disney Convention, D23, which helped launch the new production.

"When Kevin Feige and the studio brought 'Save the City' to D23 Expo, it sparked the conversations that led to the show that guests will enjoy this summer at Disney California Adventure Park," Fields explained.

Along with Steve Rogers, audiences can expect to see Peggy Carter, Nick Fury, and some of the Avengers as they travel from Steve's origin story into the future. Most weeks, 'Rogers: The Musical' will be performed multiple times per day, Tuesday through Saturday.

Disney is also providing themed food and beverage options, as well as merchandise based on the musical.
