Welcome to Monstropolis with Sulley & Mike is the upcoming theater show planned for The Glob Theater in the new Monsters, Inc.-themed Monstropolis land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Announced as part of Disney’s D23 2026 updates, the show is designed to be one of the land’s major entertainment offerings, giving guests a chance to spend time with Mike Wazowski, James P. Sullivan, and the monster citizens of Monstropolis in a live theatrical setting.
The show’s premise fits the story of the new land. In the Monsters, Inc. films, Monstropolis changes forever after Mike and Sulley discover that children’s laughter is more powerful than screams. The Hollywood Studios land builds on that idea by imagining a monster city that has now opened its doors to human visitors. Welcome to Monstropolis with Sulley & Mike appears to function as part orientation, part celebration, and part comedy showcase, with Sulley preparing a smaller, homespun welcome show while Mike, naturally, has bigger theatrical ambitions.
Its venue, The Glob Theater, is a playful monster-world riff on Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and will occupy the former Muppet*Vision 3D theater space. That location gives the show extra historical weight. For decades, the building was home to one of Hollywood Studios’ most beloved legacy attractions and one of Jim Henson’s final major Disney collaborations. Reusing it for a Monsters, Inc. stage show continues the park’s shift from studio-backlot parody toward immersive Pixar worlds, while also keeping the space dedicated to comedy, characters, and theatrical presentation.
The show’s music is especially notable. Randy Newman, whose songs and score helped define the sound of Pixar classics including Toy Story and Monsters, Inc., has written a new original song called “Welcome to Monstropolis.” Disney has described it as his first song composed specifically for a Disney theme park, which gives the production a direct creative link to Pixar’s film history rather than making it feel like a simple character revue.
Welcome to Monstropolis with Sulley & Mike is already significant because of what it represents for Hollywood Studios’ future. It will help establish Monstropolis as more than a coaster land, adding live entertainment, music, humor, and character interaction to the new area. For guests who love Mike and Sulley, it promises a more personality-driven experience; for longtime park fans, it marks the next chapter for one of Hollywood Studios’ most historically important theater spaces.
