Ron Logan, a Disney Legend who as EVP and executive producer for Walt Disney Entertainment transformed live entertainment in its parks and helped bring Beauty and the Beast to Broadway, died August 30. He was 84.
Logan began his career at Disney as a trumpet player, where he had the opportunity to meet Walt Disney on several occasions. He also performed with the fanfare trumpets as part of the Disney-produced pageantry for the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley, CA.

In 1978, Logan moved to Florida to become Walt Disney World Resort’s music director before returning to Disneyland in 1980 as the park’s director of entertainment. In 1982, he moved back to Walt Disney World Resort again as VP Entertainment before being promoted to VP Creative Show Development for all of Walt Disney Attractions in 1987.
According to Disney, in that role “Ron was instrumental in the productions of Fantasmic! (Disneyland, 1992; Disney’s Hollywood Studios, 1998), Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! (Disney’s Hollywood Studios, 1989), Festival of the Lion King (Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, 1998), Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show (Disneyland Paris, 1992) and many more.”
Based on that success, Logan and his team pitched the idea of a Beauty and the Beast Broadway show, leveraging the same team that produced its stage show at Disneyland. They also partnered with the film’s screenwriter, Linda Woolverton, and songwriters Tim Rice and Alan Menken, who added to and adapted the songs written for the film by Menken and Howard Ashman. That success led to the establishment of Walt Disney Theatrical Productions, where Logan became president, guiding it through the early years of Disney on Broadway.
