Disney KiteTails

Disney KiteTails ran from October 1st, 2021 – September 27th, 2022

Kiteman worked closely with Disney to craft two unique shows for Disney KiteTails, featuring Lion King character kites for one and Jungle Book characters for the other. Each performance showcased specific elements both in the theater and on the water.

Kiteman was responsible for all the aquatic aspects, whereas Disney’s cast members took care of the dance and puppetry elements. Additionally, Kiteman provided two “sidewalk” kite flyers in the theater to further enhance the show experience.

The show ran daily, with 6 shows a day, 7 days a week.
