Disney's Moana JR About the Show - Disney's Moana Jr. is the perfect introduction to high quality theater for young audiences while keeping Disney connoisseurs of all ages entertained. This action packed, 90 minute production includes every song from the 2016 animated film including; How Far You'll Go (Moana), You're Welcome, and Shiny! Filled with ancient Polynesian traditions and mythology, Disney's Moana Jr. is an uplifting, coming-of-age story that centers around an island dwelling community who no longer venture to the sea - until Moana is tasked by her grandmother to return a stone (known as the Heart of the Te Fiti) back to its rightful home. Moana teams up with Maui (a Polynesian trickster and demigod) and the spirit of the ocean, to keep evil at bay by venturing across the sea. Disney's Moana Jr. features a large cast of actors, colorful costumes, and a self-gliding canoe which brings this wayfinding adventure to life.
