Last night we all greatly enjoyed the Disney Family Singalong Celebration, and there is another night of Disney entertainment lined up for us as well. Continue reading to find out how you can bring a bit of the Magic of Disney on Broadway to your home.
How to View “Celebrating 25 Magical Years of Disney on Broadway
A free live-stream of “Celebrating 25 Magical Years of Disney on Broadway” is available at Playbill and BroadwayCares.org at 7:00pm (Eastern Time) on April 17, 2020.
This event was originally scheduled for April 13, 2020, but due to issues with the American Federation of Musicians union, this was delayed.
This has since been resolved with musicians and members of the orchestra contractor waiving additional fees in order for this event to be a live stream charity event.
The Event
This concert was actually recorded in November 4, 2019 to celebrate 25 Magical Years of Disney on Broadway. We are so excited to now have the opportunity to view this, and the bonus is that this event will help raise money for the Broadway Cares Fights AIDS’ COVID-19 Emergency Assistance Fund.
The money raised will help all of those in the theatre and performing arts community that have been affected by COVID-19.
With the Broadway stages remaining dark during this pandemic, many of those in the theatre have experienced health and financial challenges.
Broadway producers have offered a challenge. They will match every donation dollar for dollar up to $1 million dollars. Donations may be given at Broadway Cares.
Host and Cast
Ryan McCartan will host this event directly from his home while interviewing Disney Broadway stars from their homes as well.
Earlier this week, we shared Ryan McCartan singing with fellow Broadway stars on Zoom.
The show will feature performances by Whoopi Goldberg, Jelani Aladdin, Sierra Boggess, Christian Borle, Ashely Brown, Kerry Butler, Lauryn Ciardullo, Gavin Creel, Merle Dandridge, Lindiew Dlamini, Bongi Duma, Susan Egan, Andrew Barth Feldman, Bradley Gibson, Manyd Gonzalez, April Holloway, James Monroe Iglehart, Adam Jacobs, Ramona Keller, Nina Lafarga, Tamika Lawrence, Norm Lewis, Kara Lindsey, Tshidi Manye, Sibusiso Ngema, Ashley Park, Adam Pascal, Krista Rodriguez, Michael James Scott, Sherie Rene Scott, Kissy Simmons, Josh Strickland, Katie Terza, Marisha Wallace, Rema Webb, Alton Fitzgerald White, and Syndee Winters.
