This creates how Victor fears seeing the corpse bride, Emily coming up the ground and

Taymour was pulling from centuries-old presentational styles from around the globe, her fusion of African rhythms, movements and masks with western popular music in the telling of this well-known Disney tale was very new to mainstream Broadway goers. It was an automatic hit. An Associate Director of Taymour’s, John Stefaniuk said “She has taken all of these aspects of storytelling from Arica, Asia, the Philippines and all these other parts of the world she has traveled upon, and she incorporated them in a new way.” Since The Lion King was already a popular movie it was important to make sure the musical was different in its own ways so it would succeed.
