It’s been two years since I first blogged Communicore Weekly, a great Disney podcast. Now, two years and 104 episodes later, they’ve launched an ambitious new project: Communicore Weekly: The Musical! It’s a one-hour, fully orchestrated musical story about the battle against evil Michael Eisner.
Host Jeff Heimbuch writes: “Through the use of patent-pending time travel technology, Communicore Weekly was able to obtain an episode of the radio broadcast
‘Theater On The Move’ from the year 2215. In this episode, they are celebrating the 200th anniversary of Communicore Weekly: The Musical, and have brought the actors playing the pivotal roles of Jeff and George onto the show to discuss the lavish anniversary production and to share the music of the show.”
Featuring all-new, all original songs from Amplify This Music (better known as the Communicore Weekly Orchestra), Communicore Weekly: The Musical will have you in stitches when you’re not tapping your feet along to the catchy tunes.
‘In the two years we’ve being doing it, we’ve really tried to make Communicore Weekly not just one of the most unique Disney podcasts, but one of the most unique podcasts out there, period. I’ve never heard of a podcast producing an entire musical before. Since we’ve always been a very musical show, it was a natural progression for us to actually produce a
musical,’ says Jeff Heimbuch, co-writer of the musical.‘Writing the music for the show is always a lot of fun, because the guys come up with some pretty crazy ideas. When faced with the challenge of writing original songs that fit into this ridiculous story, I absolutely could not turn it down. Plus, George is my brother, so it would have been really awkward if I had said no,’ says Andrew Taylor, co-writer and musical genius.
‘I like turtles,’ says George Taylor, co-writer, ‘But I hate squirrels.’
‘My lawyer said I’m not allowed to comment,’ says Steve Williard, co-writer and another musical genius.
Following in the footsteps of some of the greatest Disney films, by pairing a great story with fantastic music, Communicore Weekly: The Musical is sure to entertain people of all ages.
