Hyperion Theater, Theater in Hollywood Land, Disney California Adventure, Anaheim, United States
Hyperion Theater is a 1,984-seat venue in Hollywood Land at Disney California Adventure in Anaheim. Its facade copies the Los Angeles Theatre on Broadway: a vertical sign with round bulbs spells HYPERION in red above THEATER in white, a horizontal marquee reads HYPERION with a NOW PLAYING panel, and fluted columns rise behind toward a pale arch.
The Hyperion Theater opened with Disney California Adventure on February 8, 2001. Its first show was Disney's Steps in Time, followed by The Power of Blast in 2001. Disney's Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular ran from January 2003 to January 2016, and Frozen – Live at the Hyperion premiered in May 2016. The venue also hosted film premieres, including Spy Kids in 2001 and The Lone Ranger in 2013.
The theater's name and facade refer to the Los Angeles Theatre on Broadway, and its productions have drawn on Disney films since the first show, Steps in Time, in 2001. Later shows included The Power of Blast, Disney's Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular and Frozen – Live at the Hyperion. In 2023 it staged a one-act version of Rogers: The Musical, the fictional Broadway show from the Hawkeye series.
The theater sits in Hollywood Land at Disney California Adventure, next to the Hyperion marquee. Its entrance is at ground level, and the 1,984-seat auditorium fills quickly before each show. Check the day's show times at the park entrance or on the Disneyland app, then arrive early to choose a seat.
The Hyperion Theater hosted the world premiere of Spy Kids on March 18, 2001, and of The Lone Ranger on June 22, 2013. Its facade is modeled after the Los Angeles Theatre on Broadway in Los Angeles.
