MULAN, a musical based on the Disney animated movie of the same name, will premiere at Atlanta's ALLIANCE THEATRE on February 24th and run through March 19th.

One girl is about to discover the hero inside of her - and in doing so, save an empire! Embrace the adventure and magic of this exotic musical based on the animated Disney movie. The destiny of her people is in the hands of a girl who throws tradition aside to save her family and her emperor - and an upstart dragon that will show her the way...because heroes come in all shapes and sizes.

Rosemary Newcott, The Sally G. Tomlinson Artistic Director of Theatre for Youth, once again demonstrates her talent for understanding the rhythms and energy of Disney classics by staging Mulan in the theatrically inventive style of Aladdin and Seussical the Musical.
