Mickey and the Wondrous Book is a live stage show that premiered in Storybook Theater at Hong Kong Disneyland on November 17, 2015, as part of its 10th anniversary celebration.
On June 23, 2015, David Lightbody, Director of Entertainment and Costuming at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, says, "As the heart and soul of a theme park, Disney’s entertainment and shows have played an integral role in creating fond memories for guests at Hong Kong Disneyland in the past 10 years. We are committed to bringing more Disney stories to life and creating more excitement and appeal through a variety of new entertainment and shows for our guests for decades to come." To celebrate its 10th anniversary, the new stage show will be offering an all-new experience of Disney stories and it will broadcast on the 10th anniversary of the theme song "Happily Ever After".
The show also premiered at Shanghai Disneyland under the title Mickey’s Storybook Adventure at the Walt Disney Grand Theatre on June 16, 2021, as part of its 5th anniversary celebration but with slight differences.
Starting from November 5, 2022, the show offered theatrical interpretation service as of the key of inclusion at the first show on the first Saturday and third Wednesday every month.
==Show summary==
This 28-minute musical show is set in a magical library, where the adventurous hero Mickey and his trusty sidekick Goofy (both with articulated heads) discover a magical book that can bring stories to life. When curious Mickey opens the book, the comical snowman Olaf (represented as a puppet) from Frozen falls out. While trying to get Olaf back inside, Mickey is magically drawn into the book.
From here, Mickey sets out to find Olaf’s story after discovering the magic of the book and the power of its first six stories, featuring The Jungle Book (Baloo and King Louie), The Little Mermaid (Ariel, Hong Kong version), Tangled (Rapunzel), Brave (Merida, Hong Kong version), Moana (Moana, Shanghai version), Mulan (Fa Mulan, Shanghai version), Aladdin (Genie, Aladdin, and Jasmine, Hong Kong version), Zootopia (Gazelle and Judy Hopps, Shanghai version) and The Princess and the Frog (Tiana and a male performer playing the trumpet in place of Louis).
Finally, Mickey and Goofy come across the last incredible story of “Frozen” (Anna and Elsa) and restore Olaf to his rightful place.

==Trivia==
*This stage show with Mickey and the Magical Map at Disneyland and Mickey and the Magician at Walt Disney Studios Park are "sister shows", which means their creative director is Sylvia Hase.
*This is the third Disney parks stage show where three different Disney characters sing the songs of hope and yearning together, the first is Disneyland's former stage show "Animazment - The Musical", and the second is its current stage show "Mickey and the Magical Map".

*The show has put the elements of local culture in Hong Kong to play, when translated from the original English script into Chinese, to make performances more authentic, they added a few Cantonese slang words, such as Mickey calling King Louie “阿叔” ("sir") after his performance, and Goofy chasing Olaf's body without his head and calling it "Pat Pat" ("butt") before the performance of Aladdin and the finale.
*When Mickey takes a peek to see the Wondrous Book at the opening of the show, it is a reference to Magic Kingdom's former castle stage show Cinderella's Surprise Celebration, where Donald takes a peek at the Evil Queen's gift.
*Jasmine's redesigned costume made its first appearance in Disney Parks.
*Judy Hopps is the only atmosphere character in the Shanghai version who does not have an articulated head until 2024.
*When Mickey used the fastest way to find Olaf's story (in the twenty-eighth page) after the performance of The Princess and the Frog, the guests can see that Mickey had passed a few pages of Pocahontas (The Colors of the Wind in the fifth page) and Alice in Wonderland (The Cards in the fifteenth page) in the Wondrous Book.
*When Olaf tries to help Mickey out of the page in the final scene, he tells Mickey to think about summer, and references a few lines of his song "In Summer", such as "Bees'll buzz", "the burning sand", & "A drink in my hand".
*In the reprise of "Happily Ever After" featuring the "other" six stories in the Wondrous Book, Beast makes his first appearance with an articulated head and redesigned costume in the Beauty and the Beast page.
