Overview
- As of November 18, 2025, the high-capacity venue has surpassed 800 days without a regular production and no reopening plan has been announced.
- Since the 2020 shutdown, the only exception was Rogers: The Musical, a limited summer 2023 run that used a Virtual Queue and closed in late August as scheduled.
- The nearly 2,000-seat theater is a major crowd-relief asset, leaving fewer indoor entertainment options available while it sits unused.
- Disney Cruise Line continues to stage full-scale, Broadway-style musicals nightly that observers say could be adapted for the Hyperion.
- Industry reports point to union labor costs, needed technical upgrades, and possible Hollywood Land re-theming as likely factors, with no confirmation from Disney.
