Culture on My Mind
The Magic of Disney on Broadway
July 30, 2024

I’m playing catch-up with the Theater and Musical Lovers YouTube Channel.

The channel and its associated Facebook group were established as an unofficial gathering of Dragon Con attendees who love theater, musicals, and the performing arts. Their goal is to create a community of fellow thespians and fans at the convention.

In this performance, step into the enchanting realm of Disney on Broadway. A panel of Disney enthusiasts including Sarah, JJ, Lauren, Lawrence, Deanna, and Rob host a joy-filled exploration of the spellbinding fusion of Disney’s beloved characters and the electrifying energy of Broadway. They discuss how the music, choreography, and stagecraft transport you to Agrabah, the African savannah, and beyond, where we can bask in the pure joy of the extraordinary journeys where dreams come true.

The Theater and Musical Lovers Group will be hosting more of these panels. If you’re interested in participating or have some topic ideas in mind, head over to the group on Facebook and drop them a line. You can also find them on Instagram and coming soon on TikTok.

You can find Gary and Sarah on the socials: On Twitter, they are Gary_Mitchel, SarahRose_KPK, and Daisuki_Suu; on Instagram, they are Gary_Mitchel and Daisuki_Suu; and Gary’s horror-themed podcast he hosts with Erin McGourn is A Podcask of Amontillado. Of course, the Theater & Musical Lovers channel can be found on YouTube.

Culture on My Mind is inspired by the weekly Can’t Let It Go segment on the NPR Politics Podcast where each host brings one thing to the table that they just can’t stop thinking about.
