A Dream Is A Wish transports audiences into the musical world of classic and contemporary Disney Animated Feature films to discover that dreams really do come true. Join us as we awaken a little mermaid who longs to be human, a lion cub who struggles to find his place in the circle of life, and two sisters who wish to warm a frozen relationship. The stories of The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Frozen, Aladdin, and more are told through the talents of four Broadway-caliber singers, original Disney film footage, and sweeping orchestral scores performed by your Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted by Ron Spigelman. The magic of Disney storytelling comes to life once again and reminds us anew that anything is possible, “…if you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true.” Program Ron Spigelman, conductor Sherilyn Draper, director, writer Ted Ricketts, musical director Domonique Paton, vocals Stephanie Gerson, vocals Jacob Haren, vocals Payson Lewis, vocals Disney Memories Overture Arranged by Brad Kelley © 2014 Walt Disney Music Company & Wonderland Music Company, Inc.
