EPCOT Festival of the Arts 2027 Disney on Broadway lineup is out

Six newcomers join the 10th anniversary Disney on Broadway Concert Series, which runs every night of the 46-day festival and wraps with a three-night Newsies celebration.

The 10th Disney on Broadway Concert Series at EPCOT has its cast.

Disney posted the full 2027 lineup on the Disney Parks Blog on Tuesday, Nov. 10. Six pairs of Broadway stars rotate through America Gardens Theatre from Jan. 15 to Feb. 26, then a special finale, “Seize the Day! A Newsies Celebration,” closes out the festival Feb. 27 to March 1.

By our count, the schedule covers all 46 nights of the festival. At three shows a night, that’s 138 concerts.

Disney marked six performers as first-timers at the festival: Marisha Wallace, Adam Pascal, Sherie Rene Scott, Norm Lewis, Mason Reeves and Ryan McCartan.

Kicking things off on opening night is Michael James Scott, who Disney calls Broadway’s longest-running Genie.

Who is performing at Disney on Broadway 2027?

Here’s the full schedule, per the Disney Parks Blog. First-time festival performers are noted.

Disney hasn’t said who is singing in the Newsies finale yet.

What are the Disney on Broadway showtimes?

Shows run three times nightly at 5:15, 6:30 and 7:45 p.m. at America Gardens Theatre in World Showcase.

Seating is first come, first served with EPCOT admission. If you want a guaranteed seat, Disney sells dining packages that bundle a meal at a participating EPCOT restaurant with seating at a same-day concert. Those open for booking Dec. 3.

Which Disney shows do the 2027 performers come from?

Disney built several pairings around anniversaries and reunions.

• Ashley Brown and Josh Strickland are Broadway’s original Mary Poppins and Tarzan. Both shows turn 20 this year.

• Michael James Scott and Marisha Wallace shared the stage in Aladdin before.

• Adam Pascal and Sherie Rene Scott are Tony nominees known for Rent and Aida.

• Sierra Boggess was Broadway’s original Ariel in The Little Mermaid. Norm Lewis is a Tony nominee who played the Phantom on Broadway.

• Kara Lindsay originated Katherine in Newsies. Mason Reeves played Kristoff on Frozen’s North American tour.

• Caissie Levy, Broadway’s original Elsa, pairs with Ryan McCartan, Hans on that same tour. So yes, Elsa and Hans, together again. Anna was not consulted.

Boggess, Brown and Strickland all performed at the 2026 festival, too.

What is Once Upon a Stage at EPCOT?

It’s an exhibit inside CommuniCore Hall called “Once Upon A Stage: The Music of Disney on Broadway.” Disney says it explores the stage versions of The Lion King, Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast.

Disney’s post calls it new. A similar exhibit, “Once Upon A Stage: The Magic of Disney on Broadway,” ran at CommuniCore Hall during the 2026 festival with props and costumes from those same three shows. The 2027 version swaps “Magic” for “Music,” so expect more of a soundtrack focus. Disney hasn’t shared more details.

New Disney on Broadway merchandise also debuts at CommuniCore Hall. Disney’s photos show:

• A Genie vinyl figure

• A tote bag

• A Loungefly Hercules mini backpack

• A Lion King chenille pullover

Disney didn’t list prices.

When is EPCOT Festival of the Arts 2027?

The festival runs Jan. 15 to March 1, 2027, as we reported in September. That’s 46 days, up from 39 in 2026.

It has a new presenting sponsor, the Disney Lorcana Trading Card Game, and the Lorcana scavenger hunt and Illumineer’s Lounge return. BlogMickey reported more than 20 Food Studios are planned, though menus and prices aren’t out yet.

That gives you about nine weeks to decide which Genie, Ariel or Elsa is worth a trip to Florida in January.
