"Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" Beginning at 7pm (ET) this evening, April 17, 2020, Broadway fans will be able to stream the previously recorded Celebrating 25 Magical Years of Disney on Broadway concert at broadwaycares.org, youtube.com/BCEFA or facebook.com/BCEFA. The fundraiser will benefit Broadway Cares' COVID-19 Emergency Assistance Fund, in support of all those in the theater and performing arts community directly affected by the current pandemic.

The special presentation will be hosted by Ryan McCartan (a Disney Channel "Liv and Maddie" alum, who now stars as Prince Hans in Disney's Frozen on Broadway) from his family's home. He will conduct interviews with an array of Disney on Broadway stars throughout the evening.

The concert was originally staged at the New Amsterdam Theatre (home of Disney's Aladdin) on November 4, 2019, featuring a cast of 79 performers alongside a 15-piece orchestra. The event raised $570,426 for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

The line-up for Celebrating 25 Magical Years of Disney on Broadway includes an eagerly-anticipated reunion of 18 "Newsies" from the fan favorite musical's Broadway and National Tour productions, as well as an emotional performance from Broadway Inspirational Voices.
