'''''The Golden Mickeys''''' ([[Cantonese]]: 《米奇金獎音樂劇》) is a [[Musical theatre|stage musical]] presented in the format of an awards show, featuring characters from various [[List of Walt Disney Pictures films|Disney films]]. This [[revue]]-style production first appeared on the [[Disney Cruise Line]], debuting in September 2003 on the [[Disney Wonder]], replacing the show Morty the Magician. In the fall of 2004, the show was relocated to the [[Disney Dream]] during the ship's [[dry dock]] period. Performances are held in the Walt Disney Theater, located on Deck 4 of the ship.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Golden Mickeys |url=https://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/cruise-new/cr-ent-goldenmickeys.htm |website=Walt Disney World Info}}</ref> 

The Golden Mickeys made its first appearance on land at [[Hong Kong Disneyland]]. The show concluded its run on July 26, 2015, to make way for the new show ''Mickey and the Wondrous Book.'' This production premiered in November 2015 as part of the park's 10th-anniversary celebrations.  <ref>{{Cite web |title=The Golden Mickeys Walt Disney Theatre Disney Dream |url=https://allears.net/disney-cruise-line/dcl-planning/the-golden-mickeys-walt-disney-theatre-disney-dream/ |access-date=2024-07-01 |website=AllEars.Net |language=en-US}}</ref>

==Disney Cruise Line version==
In the entertainment program aboard Cruise Ships, a fictional narrative is presented featuring a character named "Ensign Benson." Portrayed as a reserved member of the crew, Benson unexpectedly takes on the responsibilities of a host when the designated host, implied to be the ship's captain, is absent at the commencement of the show. In her newly assumed role, which she undertakes with a lack of self-assurance, Benson receives motivational support from a series of interactive video clips featuring real-life celebrities. Additionally, her involvement extends to participating in various song and dance performances that are part of the show. These feature cast members in the costumes of characters from ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937 film)|Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs]]'', ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996 film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'', ''[[Tarzan (1999 film)|Tarzan]]'', ''[[Mulan (1998 film)|Mulan]]'', ''[[One Hundred and One Dalmatians]]'', ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'', ''[[Lady and the Tramp]]'', ''[[Sleeping Beauty (1959 film)|Sleeping Beauty]]'', ''[[Pocahontas (1995 film)|Pocahontas]]'', and ''[[The Lion King]]'' performing songs from these films. In 2011 the program removed the songs and characters from [[Sleeping Beauty]] and [[Pocahontas (1995 film)|Pocahontas]], moving them to Disney's Believe that year. Subsequently, The Golden Mickeys included both classic and new songs from movies such as ''[[The Little Mermaid (1989 film)|The Little Mermaid]]'', ''[[Beauty and the Beast (1991 film)|Beauty and the Beast]]'', ''[[Tangled]]'', ''[[The Princess and the Frog]]'' and ''[[Coco (2017 film)|Coco]]''.

In the vicinity of the Walt Disney Theater, the pre-show area is designed to emulate a [[red carpet]] experience, immersing guests in the typical environment associated with celebrities. "Rona Rivers" interviews guests at the entrance of the theater, simulating the experience of a celebrity interview on the red carpet. This interaction is displayed live on two large screens at the front of the theater, adding to the overall atmosphere. The original ensemble of performers at the theater comprised Nadia Wahhab, Crystal Monee Hall, Mark Baratelli, Jeremiah James, Joshua Carlson, Danny Calvert, Tony Wichowski, Erik McEwen, Jessica Quarles, Emma Green, Jonathan Vetsich, and Michele Kaye. The Golden Mickeys was directed by [[Diane Paulus]], who directed ''[[The Donkey Show (musical)|The Donkey Show]]'' in New York City, and choreographed by Maria Torres, who co-choreographed Disney's [[Enchanted (2007 film)|Enchanted]].

==Hong Kong Disneyland version==
A version of the show was performed at the Storybook Theatre in the [[Fantasyland]] area of [[Hong Kong Disneyland]]. The show was narrated in [[Cantonese]], with English and Simplified Chinese subtitles. All of the songs were performed in English. Here, the show began with a performance of the title song including a dance performance based around cast members preparing costumes and taking press photos of arriving celebrities. Footage of Disney characters arriving by [[limousine]] and entering the theater along a red carpet was then projected on screens to the two sides of the stage before the characters entered through the auditorium aisle. This version of the show had a running commentary from the host Bebe who conducted interviews with [[Mickey Mouse]] and [[Minnie Mouse]], along with [[Goofy]], [[Donald Duck]], and [[Pluto (Disney)|Pluto]] and was also involved in several of the song and dance routines. These featured cast members in the costumes of characters from ''[[Toy Story 2]]'', ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996 film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'', ''[[Tarzan (1999 film)|Tarzan]]'', ''[[Mulan (1998 film)|Mulan]]'', ''[[Lilo & Stitch]]'', ''[[The Little Mermaid (1989 film)|The Little Mermaid]]'' and ''[[Beauty and the Beast (1991 film)|Beauty and the Beast]]'' performing songs from these films. The show also included [[Acrobatics#Aerial|aerial acrobatics]], [[martial arts]], [[puppetry]], and [[fireworks]].

On July 26, 2015, the show took its final bow to make way for the show "Mickey and the Wondrous Book", which debuted in November 2015, to celebrate the park's 10th anniversary.<ref>{{cite news|title=香港迪士尼樂園 10週年慶典 資訊（2015年 6月）|url=http://disney-magical-kingdom-blog.blogspot.hk/2015/06/10-2015-6.html?m=1}}</ref>  Original cast members Angela Lam, Andy Au, and Regrine Law, who had continued to perform until the last day, were celebrated in a special farewell moment following the conclusion of the performance.
