How to watch Disney On Broadway's free 25th Anniversary Concert
Disney On Broadway's 25th anniversary concert will be free to watch this weekend in aid of Broadway Care and Equity Fights AIDs
Disney On Broadway celebrated 25 years of staging productions on Broadway last year by holding a big concert.
Now that very concert is to be screened for free on YouTube this weekend, starting from Saturday and staying online for a week.
The show will include performances from the Disney Broadway collection including Newsies, Hercules, Aladdin and Lion King. Performers include Gavin Creel, Whoopi Goldberg, James Monroe Iglehart, Ashley Park, Marisha Wallace and Sierra Boggess.
The concert raised more than $570,000 in aid of Broadway Care/Equity Fights AIDs when it was first staged at the New Amsterdam Theatre. The streamed version will raise funds for the same organisations as well as the COVID-19 Emergency Assistance Fund. You can also donate here.
Ryan McCartan will host the event from his family's basement holding interviews with Disney Broadway stars from their own homes.
