Galavant (ABC TV Series)

Post by Disney's Divinity »

Galavant is a new TV series to begin airing on ABC in Fall 2014 that will feature music by Alan Menken and Glenn Slater.

All information originally posted by Sotiris:
Dan Fogelman (Crazy, Stupid, Love; Tangled; Cars) teams up with Broadway and Hollywood’s award-winning musical team — composer Alan Menken (The Little Mermaid; Beauty and the Beast) and lyricist Glenn Slater (The Little Mermaid; Tangled) — for a musical comedy fairytale of epic proportions.

Once upon a time, the dashing hero Galavant (Joshua Sasse) was a slayer of dragons, protector of the innocent, and defender of the less fortunate. But one day, the evil King Richard (Timothy Omundson) fell for Galavant’s ladylove Madalena and kidnapped her. On Madalena and King Richard’s wedding day, Galavant courageously fought his way back to the palace to rescue his love. And while this is where most fairytales end happily ever after, it’s where the tale of GALAVANT truly begins. Madalena stuns Galavant when she announces that she chooses fame, fortune, and the crown over Galavant and breaks his heart. Five years later we rejoin Galavant, heartbroken and drowning his sorrows in drink. Having given up on heroics, he’s a bit out of shape and flat broke. But his faithful squire Sid sees a momentous opportunity when Princess Isabella of Valencia arrives in search of “The Great Galavant.” She asks him to save her kingdom from its evil invader… none other than King Richard himself. Galavant must get back in the saddle, literally and figuratively, to take revenge on his nemesis, win back Madalena, and restore his “happily ever after.” But our fallen hero doesn’t realize that Isabella might not be revealing the whole story…

Our hero’s quest for redemption will have many twists and turns along the way. And as one of the songs from Menken and Slater proclaims: “Huzzah And Tally-Ho! Sit Back And Here We Go!”

This sounds like it could be a lot of fun! And finally Alan Menken may get his Emmy as well - EGOT on the way!^^

However this show turns out, at least the one thing we know is that it won't be as bad as that fairytale reality TV show coming to ABC called The Quest. That looks awful.

It's being saved for midseason as filler during Once Upon a Time's winter break :roll: Probably not going to last :(

Probably the best choice. Since most viewers who will like the fairy tale premise are watching OUAT, it'll bring in those ratings by being in its spot. And it'll also probably help OUAT's ratings by putting something similar in its spot while its on break.

The absurd songs reminds me of Monty Python. Love it.

Doesn't look like it'll last long, but Galavant's pretty hot (the stills of him are unimpressive, but he looked good in the trailer). I'm praying the music gets an Emmy though. Not that it affects me personally, but still... :lol:

That was awesome! I hope it gets great reviews, great ratings, and of course, get Alan Menken a freakin' Emmy. :D This is totally making it up for me losing Smash.
