From the Big Screen to the Stage: Disney Developing a Zootopia Musical
Disney Theatrical Productions is developing a new Zootopia musical for the stage. According to an Equity audition notice, the 90-minute musical is being prepared for a professional LORT production, with future plans for both professional and amateur licensing.
According to the posting, the musical’s book is by Sara Wordsworth, with music and lyrics by Jaheem Toombs and additional contributions from Matte Martinez. Connor Gallagher is attached as director, with Ian Weinberger as music supervisor. C12 Casting is handling the casting, with Equity Principal Auditions scheduled for Friday, September 19, 2025, at Ripley-Grier Studios in New York City. Roles currently being cast include Judy Hopps, Nick Wilde, Dawn Bellweather, and Chief Bogo.
The original animated feature Zootopia premiered in 2016 and was directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore, with Jared Bush as co-director. The film, which starred Ginnifer Goodwin as Judy Hopps, Jason Bateman as Nick Wilde, and Idris Elba as Chief Bogo, was a critical and commercial success. It grossed over $1 billion worldwide and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
