The Disney on Broadway Concert Series is marking its 10th year at EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, and the 2027 lineup has been announced. From January 15 through March 1, 2027, Broadway performers will take the stage at America Gardens Theatre to sing songs from Disney stage productions. This guide covers the performer pairings, the nightly schedule, the special finale, and how the dining packages work so you can plan your visit.
The Basics of the 2027 Concert Series
The concert series runs every night of the festival, covering 46 consecutive evenings. Six performer pairings will rotate through the schedule, followed by a three night finale. Six of the performers are making their first appearance in the series, which gives returning guests a reason to come back even if they have attended in past years.
- Dates: January 15 through March 1, 2027
- Location: America Gardens Theatre in the American Adventure Pavilion, World Showcase
- Show times: 5:15 p.m., 6:30 p.m., and 7:45 p.m. each night
- Cost: Included with EPCOT admission (a theme park reservation may also be required)
- Seating: First come, first served, unless you book a dining package for guaranteed seating
Full Performer Schedule by Date
Each pairing performs on seven or eight nights, and the dates are staggered rather than consecutive. If you have a specific performer in mind, check the calendar carefully against your trip dates. Performers marked as newcomers are appearing in the series for the first time.
| Performers | Performance Dates | Number of Nights |

| Michael James Scott and Marisha Wallace (newcomer) | January 15, 17, 18, 21, 22, 25, 26 | 7 |

Meet the Performers
Most of this year’s pairings share a direct connection to a specific Disney stage production, so many concerts will lean toward the music of those shows while also including other selections from the Disney on Broadway catalog.
Michael James Scott and Marisha Wallace
Michael James Scott holds the distinction of being the longest-running Genie in the Broadway production of Aladdin. He is joined by Olivier Award nominee Marisha Wallace, who is making her Festival of the Arts debut. The two previously performed together in Aladdin, so guests can expect songs from that show along with other Disney stage favorites.
Ashley Brown and Josh Strickland
This pairing is built around an anniversary. Mary Poppins and Tarzan both opened on Broadway in 2006, making 2026 their 20th year. Ashley Brown originated the role of Mary Poppins on Broadway, and Josh Strickland originated Tarzan. They return to EPCOT to perform music from both productions, and Disney has noted there will be a few surprises as well.
Adam Pascal and Sherie Rene Scott
Both performers are first-time participants in the series. Pascal and Scott share a history with Disney’s Aida on Broadway, where they originated the roles of Radames and Amneris. Scott is also known to Disney fans as the original Ursula in The Little Mermaid on Broadway. Their concerts should offer a different flavor from the more family-focused animated adaptations.
Sierra Boggess and Norm Lewis
Sierra Boggess, the original Ariel in The Little Mermaid on Broadway, returns to the festival with Norm Lewis, who makes his series debut. Lewis played King Triton opposite Boggess in The Little Mermaid, and both performers have also appeared in The Phantom of the Opera. Fans of either show will likely find this pairing appealing.
Kara Lindsay and Mason Reeves
Kara Lindsay, who originated the role of Katherine in Newsies on Broadway, is a returning favorite at the festival. She is paired with newcomer Mason Reeves, who originated Kristoff in the North American tour of Frozen. Their set list will draw from both of those productions in addition to other Disney stage titles.
Caissie Levy and Ryan McCartan
This new pairing is focused on Frozen. Caissie Levy was Broadway’s original Elsa, and Ryan McCartan, making his series debut, originated Prince Hans in the North American tour. This duo also has the longest run of the 2027 schedule with eight performance nights.
The Finale: Seize the Day! A Newsies Celebration
The series closes with a special three night finale from February 27 through March 1, 2027, dedicated to the music of Newsies. The stage musical was adapted from the 1992 Disney film and became a Broadway hit in 2012. Specific performers for the finale were not included in the initial announcement, so keep an eye out for updates if this is the concert you hope to see.
Disney on Broadway Concert Series Dining Packages
Because America Gardens Theatre has limited capacity, popular performers can fill the seats well before show time. The dining package is the only way to guarantee a seat. It combines a meal at a participating EPCOT restaurant with reserved access to a same-day concert. Reservations open December 3.
What the Package Includes
- At most restaurants: one entrée and one dessert, or one full buffet where applicable
- At Spice Road Table: two small plates, a shared tagine, and a shared dessert platter
- One nonalcoholic beverage, or one alcoholic beverage for guests 21 and older
- Guaranteed seating for a same-day concert performance

Regal Eagle Smokehouse is the lowest-priced option at $38 per adult, though it is only available as a same-day package and cannot be paid for with the Disney Dining Plan. Le Cellier Steakhouse sits at the top of the price range and counts as two table-service credits for dining plan users. Since Regal Eagle and America Gardens Theatre share the American Adventure Pavilion, it is also the closest option to the stage.
How Dining Package Seating Works
After your meal, the restaurant will give you a Disney on Broadway Concert Seating badge listing your reserved date and show time. Package holders enter the theater through a separate queue. Seating within that section is still first come, first served, but a seat is guaranteed. Keep the following details in mind when booking:
- Packages are only offered during the festival, January 15 through March 1, 2027
- A credit card guarantee is required at the time of booking
- Alcoholic beverages are served only to guests 21 and older
- Theme park admission is not included and must be purchased separately
- A theme park reservation may be needed to enter EPCOT
Tips for Planning Your Concert Night
If you plan to skip the dining package, arriving well ahead of your chosen show time will improve your chances of getting a seat, particularly on weekends and during the Presidents’ Day period in mid-February. The 5:15 p.m. show often works well for families with younger children, while the 7:45 p.m. performance can be a relaxed way to close out an evening in World Showcase. When booking a dining package, schedule your meal early enough to finish eating and walk to the American Adventure Pavilion before your concert begins, since some restaurants such as Coral Reef and Garden Grill are located outside World Showcase.
While you are at the festival, consider stopping by CommuniCore Hall for Once Upon A Stage: The Music of Disney on Broadway, a new exhibit that pairs well with an evening at the concert series.
Final Thoughts
The 10th year of the Disney on Broadway Concert Series brings a mix of returning festival performers and first-time participants, with anniversary tributes to Mary Poppins and Tarzan and a Newsies finale to wrap up the season. Check the schedule against your travel dates, decide whether guaranteed seating is worth the cost of a dining package, and mark December 3 on your calendar if you want to book one.
