When discussing a song he wrote for the new videogame “Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two,” composer Jim Dooley refers to it as “the opening number.” “We talk about it like it’s Broadway!” he joked. But maybe the connection between videogames and Broadway isn’t so crazy. As videogames become more and more elaborate—complete with sophisticated scripts and character development—the demand for skilled voice actors is increasing. Additionally, with games like “Epic Mickey 2,” where music is essential to telling the story, Dooley suggested that there’s no reason why a videogame might not one day inspire a Broadway musical. We spoke with “Disney Epic Mickey 2” composer Jim Dooley and songwriter Mike Himelstein about their experiences working on the videogame. What makes “Disney Epic Mickey 2” different from other videogames?Jim Dooley: This is the first time that songs have been used to drive the narrative forward in a video game.

After much speculation dating all the way back to last year, Disney have finally confirmed that a sequel is in the works to 2010′s Epic Mickey. Originally released exclusively for the Nintendo Wii, the paintbrush wielding platformer had players controlling the iconic Mickey Mouse through a dark alternate Disneyland inhabited by forgotten characters. The upcoming sequel – titled Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two – will launch not only on the Wii, but also make its series debut on the Xbox 360 and PS3.
