It will be in Manchester for one day only, on Monday, June 5 and tickets are already on sale.
Presented in the UK by Senbla and produced by Semmel Concerts, Strictly Come Dancing star and Disney super-fan Janette Manrara will host the tour, which will feature a cast of star soloists and ensemble performers from recent Disney in Concert tours.

On hosting the tour, Janette said: “It’s no secret I’m a big Disney fan, so to be able to celebrate all the beautiful music of the last 100 years that Disney’s storytelling has brought us, is an absolute joy.”
Since its founding in 1923, The Walt Disney Company’s storytelling has been set to the backdrop of 'mesmerising, award-winning melodies and songs'. Whether underwater or on the high seas, in the vastness of the universe or simply in a children's room, the soundtracks of Disney’s stories touch hearts and move people of all generations.
