Disney Live! Comes to Manila and Cebu

No other cartoon company has been a part of my childhood as much as Disney has. Countless days and nights I have spent imagining I was a Princess Belle, Jasmine and Ariel wishing for that one day I will meet my true prince, talk to animals and belt like an opera singer. (Hah!) To this day I can sing Disney songs by heart and all the lyrics are pretty much encrypted in my brain. I imagined escaping to a world where I lived in a castle and wish upon a lamp, and a blue genie will grant everyone of my wishes, like owning a mall, and have pretty much everything I saw on TV from toys to cars. LOL. Such wild dreams were very much a part of my childhood. Back in the day when things were simpler, there was a very fine line between reality and the magical world of Disney.


Now I'm a fully grown adult and a mom to little people like how I was once was, I learned that we should never stop dreaming. This is what makes Disney so unique, a spark of dreams, family-friendly themes, history lessons and good values in a brand that has sought out generations and generations. My kids are not immune to loving Mickey and Friends, their preferred channel over other cartoon channels is still Playhouse Disney. I remember watching Disney on Ice from a time not too long ago. It was magical. I couldn't be happier that Disney Live! comes to Manila and Cebu for the first time.



Mickey Mouse and his band of friends, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy will be performing in a music mash-up of mega proportions  as Disney Live! comes to Manila and Cebu City for the first time with its newest stage show Mickey’s Music Festival.  Concert goers will hear greatest hits from the blockbuster movies, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, and Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story remixed to rock, pop, reggae, hip-hop, jazz and country, among other jams.  Produced by Feld Entertainment, Disney Live! Mickey’s Music Festival brings the biggest concert experience to hit live family entertainment.
   “One song can touch millions of people around the world and Disney has been at the beat of this concept for years by making music a main ingredient of storytelling,” said Producer and CEO of Feld Entertainment Kenneth Feld.  “In Disney Live! Mickey’s Music Festival we are celebrating with the Disney characters to a soundtrack of the latest sounds and chart-topping hits. We want our guests to walk away with lasting memories and singing these unforgettable melodies long after they leave the show.”

Disney Live! Mickey’s Music Festival, featuring an all star line-up of more than 25 Disney characters,   begins with audiences watching a state-of-the-art video projection of the frenzy backstage which spills onto the stage as Mickey welcomes guests to his concert tour.  Soon thereafter, they will be transported to a new world of hip hop beats, dizzying acrobatics, flying carpets and magical transformations with Aladdin, Jasmine and Genie.  Underwater is where the crowd will meet up with Ariel, Sebastian and their nautical pals to groove to the reggae rhythm. And, family and friends will stomp to the beat as Woody, Buzz and Jessie teach them how to boogie rodeo-style.  Anyone can be a member of the band as giant-sized balloons fall from the ceiling in one scene and then in the next, Disney characters are dancing in the aisles.  
“We’ve created an environment where audience members will be able to connect with the Disney stars,” said Alana Feld, Producer and Executive Vice President of Feld Entertainment. “Within each concert moment are elements of personal interaction and they will be harmonizing, dancing, laughing and having an outrageously good time with the characters right there in their city.”
Disney Live! Mickey’s Music Festival is presented in the Philippines by Vivre Fort Entertainment Inc. and is set to be staged this year at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel from September 23-25 and at the Araneta Coliseum from October 5-9.
