The 2025 – 2026 season of our podcast, On Broadway, kicks off this week. My guest is Mike Hadge, the creative force behind the musical DoofyLand – a satire of theme parks and Disney adults. It’s to Disney World what Avenue Q is to Sesame Street. There will also be musical selections from the show.
DoofyLand – Book, Music and Lyrics by Mike Hadge
Have you ever been to Disney World and thought, “who the hell is in that mouse suit?” Then DoofyLand might be your thing.
DoofyLand is a satire of theme parks and Disney adults. It’s to Disney World what Avenue Q is to Sesame Street.
The story takes us backstage at the titular park, where the biggest “Doofy adult” you’ve ever met is starting her dream job of playing Doofy C. Horse, the Groovy Seahorse, the Mickey equivalent. She’s thrilled to live her life in the magic she used to feel. However, as she immerses herself in the fantasy of her role, she starts to act, talk, even think like Doofy. He’s even doing big ol’ musical numbers in her head. Ultimately, she needs to make a choice whether to face her painful reality or become Doofy…permanently.
DoofyLand is a bawdy musical satire that explores how easily our happy place becomes a cage, the music is very Disney-esque with a rock flair. Disney adults, this is your HAMILTON! [source: newplayexchange.org]
