Who’s ready for a smattering of arts and culture around the World Showcase?!
Orlando Sentinel reports that all performing artists have been revealed for the Epcot International Festival of the Arts, which will make it’s debut this month (Jan. 13 – Feb. 20)! For those who missed the announcement last month, the festival will be spread over six weekends and looks to combine visual, culinary and performing arts awesomeness for families and artsy-fartsy types alike.
Here’s the lineup:
On Jan 13-16 and 20-23: Ashley Brown and Josh Strickland. They will perform songs from: “Beauty and the Beast,” “Tarzan,” “Mary Poppins” and “The Little Mermaid.” Strickland originated the role of Tarzan in the Broadway production of the same name back in 2006.
On Jan. 27-30 and Feb. 3-6: Kerry Butler and Kevin Massey (“Beauty and the Beast,” “Tarzan,” “Newsies” and “Aladdin”).
On Feb. 10-13 and 17-20: Kissy Simmons and Alton Fitzgerald White (“The Lion King,” “Aida,” “Aladdin” and “The Little Mermaid”).
That’s a ton of awesome talent! It’s worth noting that the performances will all take place at 5:30 p.m., 6:45 p.m. and 8 p.m. on each evening of the festival.
