Stream Disney on Broadway for Free on April 17th
Celebrate 25 Years of Disney on Broadway with a free streaming event!
Beginning at 7 PM Eastern on April 17th, watch Celebrating 25 Magical Years of Disney on Broadway here or catch it on Broadway Cares’ YouTube channel or Facebook page. The show will also be available to stream online for one week after it first airs on Friday.
This Broadway event was originally presented onstage on November 4, 2019 and the live event raised $570,426 for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
Now, the online playback will raise money for Broadway Cares’ COVID-19 Emergency Assistance Fund, which is helping members of the theater and performing arts community impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
Actor Ryan McCartan will host the stream live from his home and will interview special Disney on Broadway stars from their homes throughout the evening. The show will also feature performances from some of Disney on Broadway’s biggest stars, a reunion of 18 Newsies from the show’s Broadway and national touring productions, and a performance from Broadway Inspirational Voices.
Thanks, my son and his high school were about to do the musical Newsies the week after school shut down, so this picture caught my eye. They were also scheduled to go on a Broadway trip next month, and they never got to do either and soon they’ll be done school (and it is uncertain whether they can have a graduation ceremony). They are pretty sad about the way their last year of high school has turned out, so I know they will enjoy at least seeing this show!
Oh good! You’re welcome, CJ! 💖
