Randy Newman is the inspiration for the duo Valerie Vigoda and Brendan Milburn (of GrooveLily) to produce seven songs for the Disney cruise version of Toy Story - the Musical.

Described as a musical of “heartfelt whimsy” the set and costumes are some of the most complex ever produced for Disney. Ann Closs-Farley designed them all, including a 9′ tall Rex the Dinosaur.

Catch the video interview with the producers as well as some pics over at Laughing Place.

The costumes for “Toy Story-The Musical” are some of the most complex ever developed for a Disney Cruise Line production. Costume designer Ann Closs-Farley created an extraordinary vision for what the characters would look like on stage. With a combination of articulated puppets and inflatable costumes, the “Toy Story” characters come to life – including a nearly 9-foot-tall version of Rex the dinosaur and a 4-foot-round Hamm the piggybank.
