Disney World has unveiled the lineup of singers slated for its Broadway concerts series, which is part of the Epcot International Festival of the Arts starting in mid-January.

The performances were on hiatus during the 2021 festival as a pandemic precaution. The 2022 lineup features newcomers mixed with performers returning to the America Gardens Theater stage.

The lineup, subject to change, includes:

  • Jan. 14, 16, 17, 20, 21: Arielle Jacobs and Adam Jacobs (both of “Aladdin” fame)
  • Jan. 15, 18, 19, 22, 23: Kerry Butler (“Beauty and the Beast”) and Telly Leung (“Aladdin”)
  • Jan. 24, 26, 27, 30, 31 and Feb. 3, 4: Heidi Blickenstaff (“Freaky Friday,” “The Little Mermaid”) and Robert Creighton (“Frozen”)
  • Jan. 25, 28, 29 and Feb. 1, 2, 5, 6: Kara Lindsay (“Newsies”) and Dan DeLuca (“Newsies”)
  • Feb. 7, 9, 10, 13, 14, 17, 18: Ashley Brown (“Mary Poppins”) and Josh Strickland (“Tarzan”)
  • Feb. 8, 11, 12, 15, 16, 19, 20: Kissy Simmons (“The Lion King”) and Michael James Scott (“Aladdin”)

On Feb. 21, there will be an extended final performance with Brown, Strickland, Simmons and Scott, a graduate of Orlando’s Dr. Phillips High School.

The performances are included in regular admission to Epcot. The arts festival runs daily from Jan. 14 through Feb. 21.
