Growing Up in Disneyland: Laurence Boag on father Wally Boag

ABOUT THE PRESENTATION: Wally Boag auditioned for Walt Disney in June of 1955 for a role in the Golden Horseshoe Revue, a show Walt was putting together for his new theme park. This opportunity came after years of performing in plays, variety shows, and nightclubs all over the U.S., Europe, and Australia. He would eventually set the Guinness World Record for the most number of performances in a show at over 40,000. He would retire from Disneyland and the Golden Horseshoe Revue in 1983. 

September 13th also happens to be Wally Boag's birthday! He would've been 103. 

ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Laurence Boag was born in 1949 and experienced his dad’s wonderful career from the inside. He'll be sharing some insights into his father’s life and the Disney years through his own lens “growing up in Disneyland.”
