It’s time for LGBTQ Disney fans to unleash their inner prince or princess as ABC will host “The Disney Family Sing-Along” April 16 at 8 p.m. EST.
Hosted by Ryan Seacrest, the special will feature songs from “Beauty and the Beast,” “Toy Story,” “The Little Mermaid,” “Moana,” “Frozen,” “High School Musical” and other Disney movies. An animated character will guide viewers through the onscreen lyrics.
The special will also include PSAs to raise awareness about Feeding America and its efforts to help food-insecure people during the current pandemic.
The special will include performances by Christina Aguilera, Kristin Chenoweth, John Stamos, Josh Gad, Michael Bublé, Amber Riley and Auli’i Cravalho, who recently came out as bisexual. There will also be appearances by Luke Evans, Jordan Fisher, Derek Hough, Julianne Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba, Little Big Town, Kenny Ortega, Donny Osmond and Thomas Rhett.
The hour-long special helps to usher the new Thursday line-up on ABC after perennial fan favorite and LGBTQ-inclusive “Grey’s Anatomy” was forced to end its season early due to the Coronavirus production shutdown.
