Disney World has revealed a major entertainment lineup for 2027, and EPCOT visitors will have several familiar Broadway favorites to look forward to.
The International Festival of the Arts is returning with more performances, new experiences, and a special celebration marking an important milestone.
Disney has officially announced the performers taking the stage next year, including six newcomers and several returning stars.
The lineup also features a special finale celebrating one of Disney's most recognizable stage productions.
Disney Reveals Major Broadway Lineup for 2027
The Disney on Broadway Concert Series returns to EPCOT January 15 through March 1, 2027, celebrating its 10th anniversary.
The concerts will take place at America Gardens Theatre, with performances scheduled nightly at 5:15 p.m., 6:30 p.m., and 7:45 p.m.
Disney has confirmed six performer pairings, giving guests different entertainment options depending on when they visit.
The announcement follows Disney's decision to extend the Festival of the Arts for 2027, providing additional opportunities to enjoy the celebration.
The first performers will take the stage January 15, when Michael James Scott and Marisha Wallace begin their scheduled appearances.
Other returning favorites include Ashley Brown, Josh Strickland, Sierra Boggess, Kara Lindsay, and Caissie Levy.
The six newcomers are Marisha Wallace, Adam Pascal, Sherie Rene Scott, Norm Lewis, Mason Reeves, and Ryan McCartan.
Several performers have connections to Disney's stage productions, including Aladdin, Frozen, The Little Mermaid, and Newsies.
Ashley Brown, Broadway's original Mary Poppins, is also returning after previously generating excitement about a possible Tangled stage production during an EPCOT performance.
Disney Plans Special Newsies Celebration
The anniversary festivities will conclude with a special concert celebrating Newsies.
Seize the Day! A Newsies Celebration will take place February 27, February 28, and March 1.
The finale will replace the regular performer pairings during the festival's final three days.
Disney has not yet revealed the complete performance details.
The announcement comes as Disney continues expanding Broadway-related experiences throughout EPCOT.
The company recently confirmed a new Broadway exhibit coming to CommuniCore Hall.
The exhibit will explore Disney's theatrical productions, giving visitors a closer look at the creative process behind familiar stage musicals.
Disney previously introduced a massive Broadway prop at EPCOT during the 2026 festival, demonstrating the company's growing emphasis on theatrical entertainment.
Dining Packages and Festival Experiences Return
Guests interested in seeing a particular performer can purchase a Disney on Broadway Concert Series Dining Package.
Reservations open December 3, 2026.
Each package includes a meal at a participating EPCOT restaurant and guaranteed seating for a same-day concert.
These packages provide an alternative to waiting for general seating, although they require an additional purchase.
Disney has offered Broadway concert dining packages during previous festivals.
The concerts are included with valid EPCOT admission, making them another entertainment option for guests who prefer not to purchase a dining package.
Beyond the performances, visitors can explore artwork, sample specialty food, and participate in interactive activities throughout World Showcase.
However, guests should prepare for additional festival expenses, particularly after food prices increased during the 2026 celebration.
With six Broadway debuts, an anniversary celebration, and a special Newsies finale, Disney is preparing another entertainment-filled winter at EPCOT.
The 2027 Festival of the Arts officially begins January 15 and continues through March 1.
