Disney on Broadway's 25th-anniversary concert will be streamed this weekend for free on YouTube in aid of Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS.
Disney On Broadway celebrated 25 years of presenting shows on Broadway in November 2019 with a very special concert. That concert is to be screened on YouTube this weekend from early Saturday am (just after midnight) and will stay online for a week.
Ryan McCartan (Frozen, Liv and Maddie) host the event from his family’s basement, conducting interviews with Disney on Broadway stars from their respective homes.
