Day of Hope

On April 9, 2020, nine Disney Broadway performers collaborated to spread a message of hope as the world battles COVID-19. The performers came together on Good Morning America to perform “Go the Distance” from a distance.

That’s right, the ensemble worked remotely to create a musical moment. Any artist who performs live musical numbers can tell you that this is no easy feat.

Yet, the team came together beautifully. Additionally, they had a beautiful message to share.

According to Good Morning America’s website, the performance was a part of ABC’s Day of Hope. It was meant to honor food bank workers, volunteers, and struggling families.

“Go the Distance” is from Disney’s Hercules. It is a song that is meant to inspire hope, and it fits the occasion beautifully.

A Performance to Remember

Truly, my favorite part of social distancing has been performances like these. I can’t get enough of artists coming together to make magic to share with the rest of the world.

If hope was the goal with this performance, it surely worked on me. I imagine other Broadway fans out there night agree.

The performers included past and current Broadway stars. Fans might recognize some of their favorite voices:

  • Heather Headley: The Lion King and Aida
  • Ciara Renee: Frozen and The Hunchback of Notre Dame
  • Jelani Alladin: Frozen
  • L. Steven Taylor: The Lion King
  • Adrienne Walker: The Lion King
  • McKenzie Kurtz: Frozen
  • Ryan McCartan: Frozen
  • Michael James Scott: Aladdin

Check out the video that aired on Good Morning America! I hope it brings you some measure of joy.

What a treat it is to hear such a talented group of people. It is beautiful to see musical artists finding a creative way to share their craft.
