West End Disney Magic
Trip Date: Friday 3rd - Sunday 5th September 2021
We at West End Musical Choir (WEMC) have been collaborating with Disneyland Paris for four years & over that time built a wonderful relationship with their Disney Performing Arts & Creative Team. This has included the WEMC Team visiting Disneyland Paris outside of our trips that so many of us have all enjoyed, to develop new and unique experiences based on our unique Choir.
This is soooo exciting for us and has resulted in WEMC being the exclusive Choir opening their European Disneyland Paris Christmas Season.
This is something we will continue to develop.
As the relationship between the two parties has grown stronger
during these four years, we started to discuss and exchange ideas on
how to produce an additional, bran new Disney weekend experience for the Spring/Summer months. Building on Disney’s unique strength & involvement in Musical Theatre and WEMC's position as their leading Adult Musical Theatre Choir. We are SUPER EXCITED to announce a BRAND NEW DISNEY WEEKEND PROGRAM for WEMC !!!!!!! Celebrating everything Disney West End!
