Disney composer adds support to theme park musical set in Blackpool - here's how you can listen to it

Written by theme park composer Nick Hutson, Theme Park Fan is now available to listen online here and has already clocked up nearly 7,000 viewers.

The musical was inspired by theme park fans and is raising money for CALM, which offers suicide-prevention support.

Nearly £2,000 has already been raised, with Disney composer Alan Menken among those who have donated.

Nick said: “The musical has only been released for a couple of days and close to 7,000 people have viewed it – with many people doing lip-sync videos and covers already!

“The feedback has been overwhelming with so many theme park fans around the world coming together to enjoy the show - with highlights being a Lancashire Hotpots inspired song about

Wetherspoons called ‘Everyone’s Welcome at the Bar’ and the song’s pop-rock titular anthem, ‘We’re Theme Park Fans on YouTube’.

“We’ve raised close to £2,000 for charity, which is the icing on the cake.”

Director Dylan Lee said: “We decided that CALM was the perfect charity to support as they tackle a very important issue, which has been heightened to new extremes during the events

we’re all experiencing.

“The support we have received has been overwhelming.

“We were all amazed and extremely excited when the Disney legend Alan Menken – composer of The Little Mermaid, Beauty and The Beast, and Little Shop of Horrors, very generously

donated $100 to CALM. We can’t thank everyone enough for donating.”
