You can hum the melodies and you know the words to every song. You can remember which scene comes after the “Part of Your World” number in The Little Mermaid, and for some reason, you have no qualms showing your excitement when Beauty and the Beast was turned into a “real people” film, starring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens. If that describes you, then put the Disney in Concert series on your to-do list, as it’s making its debut in Singapore at MBS’ MasterCard Theatres from Jul 14 onwards.
Join the 62 Singaporean musicians of Base Philharmonic Orchestra and award-winning Australian conductor Jessica Gethin as they tell you the story of Ariel’s underwater world and her desire to be human, Simba’s journey to succeed his father as King of the Pride Lands, and two squabbling princesses who overcame odds to warm a frozen relationship through their music, complemented by original Disney animated film footage that will be projected above them. Also joining them are four Broadway-caliber singers Aaron Phillips, Andrew Johnson, Lisa Livesay and Whitney Claire Kaufman.
It’s also the perfect way to help you tide over the next couple of months of waiting for the 20th anniversary production of The Lion King, set to arrive on our shores next year. Tickets are priced from $65-660 via Sistic. More here.
