Singin', Dancin', Heigh Ho! (50th Anniversary - 1987)

Disneyland also commemorated Snow White's Golden Anniversary with a live 24-minute stage show entitled Singin' Dancin' Heigh Ho! Held five times daily (11:45 am, 1:00, 3:00. 4:30 and 6:00 pm) at the then Videopolis Stage, the performance included plenty of singing characters, lots of eighties-style dancers, and even the princess on horseback.

This 1987 Disneyland Summer Program brochure, good from June 20th to September 6th, was published "exclusively for Anaheim Area Lodging Guests" and included information on hours, prices, dining, and things to do at the park. Featured among the daytime entertainment listings were both the Golden Anniversary Celebration parade and the Singin' Dancin' Heigh-Ho show.

The show began with the Dwarfs singing Heigh Ho as they were joined on stage by a troupe of dancers.

The second number featured Snow White singing With A Smile and a Song to puppet forest animals that popped up from the stage in front of her.

Whistle While You Work came next with Snow beginning the song but soon being replaced on stage by the next group of dancers.

A smoke-filled stage followed with haunted forest trees and giant spider dancers. The Old Witch made her appearance too.

The Dwarfs returned to sing The Silly Song and the dancers did a tap routine.

Dry ice poured across the stage as Snow White sang Some Day My Prince Will Come and was then joined by the Prince in a duet of One Song. In front of a castle backdrop, the royal dancers came out for another spin.

The finale saw the dwarfs and dancers reappear to take their bows. Then the Prince led Snow White out on horseback as live doves were released from the front of the stage.
