Today's leading jazz/pop vocalist Alexis Cole sings all the Disney favorites with lush arrangements. The Wall Street Journal says "Alexis sings as sultry as the Disney songbook is ever going to get." The concert will feature fan favorites such as "Once Upon A Dream" from "Sleeping Beauty" and "If I Never Knew You" from "Pocahontas."
