This all-Canadian production sets the magic of Disney and Hollywood’s most iconic musical hits on a B.C. tour beginning May 17 and running until June 20.
From the creators and producers of the national smash-hit Music of the Night: The Concert Tour, this new show celebrates legendary songs from beloved movie musicals. Audiences will be immersed in the tunes from Disney classics and renowned Hollywood studios in an unforgettable all-ages experience.
The concert production features two acts full of acclaimed songs.

This new production features lighting design by Jason Hand, who is known for his work with Disney’s global immersive events and his progressive designs on Canadian opera stages. Members of the esteemed artistic team include both exciting new names and returning talents from Music of the Night, including musical director Frederik Robert, who will again collaborate with Evan Berndt on music design and orchestrations, and Alan Corbishley, who will lead as creative director once more.
