Features the famous "Golden Horseshoe Revue, an old west stage show with comedy and singing in a 30-minute production, starring comedian Wally Boag, songstress Betty Taylor, tenor Fulton Burley and the Golden Horseshoe girls. Sandwiches are served Christmas, Easter and summer only. Sponsored by the Pepsi-Cola Company, this presentation has been one of Disneyland's most popular attractions since the "Magic Kingdom's" opening day.
From Steve Birnbaum brings you the best of Disneyland 1982:
Full of wisecracking and corny humor, this show is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest-running stage production in show-business history, with over 40,000 performances before over 10 mil- lion people. Anthony Newley comes in frequently, as did Jack Benny. Joe DiMaggio, Walter Matthau, Julie Andrews, Bob Hope, Lucille Ball, and count- less other celebrities have been among the admirers of the good-natured goings-on. Walt Disney also loved it and had his own private box, the one just to the left of the stage. The hall itself, said to have been inspired by a Golden Horseshoe Saloon that once flourished in New York City, is lovely, with its polished floors, long brass railing, chandeliers, and Western paintings. Betty Taylor, who plays Slue Foot Sue, and Fulton Burley, who plays her Irish tenor admirer, the saloon's proprietor, are the stars of the 32-minute show. Wally Boag, whose name went on a window on the second floor of Main Street's Carnation Ice Cream Parlor when he retired in 1982, played the traveling salesman/Pecos Bill role, recently taken over by a youngish Hoosier named Dick Hardwick. By the way, comedian Steve Martin was among Boag's protégés. There are five shows daily (11:30 A.M. and 1, 2:30, 4, and 5:15 P.M.), plus a handful of others two nights a week during the summer season. Reservations are required except for the twice-weekly summer night shows; they must be made in person on the day of the performance. Since they are accept- ed on a first-come, first-served basis only, it's important to present yourself at the hall to claim one shortly after park opening. If you don't have a reservation, you can queue up for cancellations by arriving at the door at least 45 minutes before show time. Cold sandwiches and soft drinks are served here, and if you can manage to get a reservation around the lunch hour, this is a good spot for a bite. Presented by Eastman Kodak.
