Citizens of Hollywood (also known as Streetmosphere) is a live street performance that occurs every day at Disney's Hollywood Studios. The performances normally vary from a game show to a maintenance crew. Guests may also interact with the show, generally called up by the actors to join the show. The shows can perform in multiple areas at one time, and last normally about fifteen minutes. Their arrival is announced when a slow moving vehicle is seen traversing through the street, or an actor is seen setting something up, or if one is simply standing on the sidewalk.
On March 12, 2020, the original version of the show had its final performance at Disney's Hollywood Studios, due to the COVID-19 outbreak. However, following Walt Disney World's reopening, Disney Hollywood Studios announced that the updated version of the show would return in 2024, as part of Disney 100 Years of Wonder Celebration.
Details[]
Citizens of Hollywood can occur in three areas: Hollywood Boulevard, Sunset Boulevard, and the entrance to Echo Lake. The actors can be differed from guests by wearing flamboyant costumes, and guests normally group around their area to see their performances. Characters can normally be found hiding in stores, or sometimes Tower of Terror's unload before coming out to perform.
The performances they do are always comedic, generally containing either intentionally bad or clever puns. Certain shows have a repeated topic that is focused on, but the performance is different each time.
The show never performs in rain, and will put the performance to a halt if rain starts during their shows.
On October 27, 2020, following Walt Disney World's reopening after being temporarily closed during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Walt Disney World announced that all entertainment would be laid off, such as Citizens of Hollywood at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor at Magic Kingdom, due to a dispute between the Actors' Equity Association and Walt Disney World.[1][2]
