Mouseketeer Facts

* Your two pieces on the Mouseketeers (Oct. 7 and 9) contain the same error. The Mouseketeers last appeared at Disneyland performing in a live variety show in 1985, one decade--not two decades--ago.

In 1980, I wrote and co-directed/co-choreographed with Barbara Epstein a show that ran at the now-defunct Tomorrowland Stage with six original “mice”: Sharon, Sherry, Ronnie, Tommy, Cubby and myself. The show reran in 1981 and was the biggest attraction at the park during our October/November time frame.

In 1983, the park staff added two more Mouseketeers and put together a show that ran those same months through 1985. In the latter year, Cheryl, Karen and Mouseketeer Larry Larsen joined us to sign autographs.
