About A Jolly Holiday: Celebrating Disney's Broadway Hits

A Jolly Holiday: Celebrating Disney's Broadway Hits is written by Sandy Rustin and will be directed by Skylight Music Theatre Artistic Director Michael Unger. The heartwarming revue features 30 favorite songs from Disney's biggest Broadway hits. The memorable and hummable songs include "Be Our Guest" (Beauty & the Beast), "Under the Sea" (The Little Mermaid), "Santa Fe" (Newsies), "Step in Time" (Mary Poppins), "Circle of Life" (The Lion King), "Bare Necessities" (The Jungle Book), "Let it Go" (Frozen) and many more.

A Jolly Holiday had its world premiere in December 2021 at Paper Mill Playhouse in New Jersey and is being presented at Skylight by special arrangement with Disney Theatrical Productions.
