I do know the show was over 2 hours long, but that's about it. I think it never made it to Broadway because from what I heard the show was bloated and the songs weren't all that amazing - given Rob Lopez was essentially just coming off of Avenue Q while writing this, and that show had it's fair share of stinkers I can tell you from seeing that off Broadway myself probably close to a decade ago now at this point, I expect that may have been why the show was cut. Not to mention that it would have been Disney's first serious adaption of a film that didn't have any music originally. Large cast with puppets, although cheaper puppets than Lion King.

I don't even know when they did it, but I can assume it was sometime in 2006 before the show officially was cut down and put in preview. I have never been able to find a single piece of information on it except for that one time my friend mentioned he had seen it years ago, after I brought up the rumor that I had once heard years before.
