Broadway exhibit joins Disney arts fest
An exhibit documenting Disney’s three decades of Broadway productions will be part of the upcoming 2025 Epcot International Festival of the Arts.
“Once Upon a Stage: 30 Years of Disney on Broadway” will be installed inside Epcot’s CommuniCore Hall. It will include props and costumes from musicals, plus behind-the-scenes looks at how animated films were transformed into Broadway productions.
CommuniCore Hall is a flexible-use space that opened last year in the theme park’s World Celebration neighborhood. It’s nestled between Spaceship Earth and World Showcase and includes food stations, including one called Festival Favorites, which has a rotating menu.
The festival, which runs Jan. 17-Feb. 24, is also expanding its Artful Photo Ops attraction to include a scene inspired by Disney’s animated “Moana” film.

The Disney on Broadway Concert Series returns to the festival with three new stage performers. Making their Epcot debuts will be Jelani Remy (Simba in “The Lion King”), Rodney Ingram (“Aladdin,” in the title role) and John Riddle, the original Hans in “Frozen.”
