Rogers: The Musical is a fictional Broadway musical in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) media franchise, centered on the life of Steve Rogers / Captain America. The musical was conceived for the 2021 Marvel Studios Disney+ miniseries Hawkeye by head writer Jonathan Igla, which featured the musical number "Save the City", written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman. "Save the City" garnered a mixed response from viewers, and was released as a digital single on November 24, 2021. The song was performed live at the 2022 D23 Expo. Multiple Easter eggs referencing the musical have since been added to several MCU properties.
A one-act version of the musical debuted at Disney California Adventure in June 2023 that ran through the end of August. The one-act musical, which ran approximately 30 minutes, was created and directed by Jordan Peterson for Disney Live Entertainment, featuring a book by Hunter Bell and five new songs written by Christopher Lennertz, Peterson, and Alex Karukas. It received praise for its story and the new songs, particularly "What You Missed", and was likened to an actual Broadway musical rather than a theme park show. An original cast album of the Disney California Adventure performance was released on September 15, 2023.
