LOS ANGELES, August 1 (UPI) -- Disney Channel musicals like Zombies and Descendants are meant to be watched repeatedly, with the soundtracks on loop.
The Disney Descendants/Zombies: Worlds Collide Tour, touring through Sept. 16, has created a once-in-a-lifetime experience for fans of the films, unless of course parents take kids from city-to-city like young Grateful Deadheads.
The show sees Kylie Cantrall, Malia Baker, Dara Reneé and Joshua Colley from Descendants: The Rise of Red join Zombies 4 stars Freya Skye, Malachi Barton and Mekonnen Knife on stage. Both casts perform their own songs from the latest films, along with classics from earlier entries, crafting an experience covering all eight films.
Judging by the Los Angeles crowd, the genuine screeches of fans literally have the power to drown out the music. They do subside long enough to hear a chorus or two, but the enthusiasm never dies down through a three-hour show, including an intermission.
The performers engage the crowd leading into each song. Knife quizzes the audience on Red's (Cantrall) dance moves to lead into her introduction song, aptly titled "Red." Later, Cantrall leads the crowd in a werewolf howl to call the wolves, as Reneé leads "We Own the Night" from Zombies 2.
