Watch Disney on Broadway’s 25th anniversary concert online for free

Disney on Broadway’s 25th anniversary concert is being streamed online to watch for free.

The one-night-only show was originally performed in November, celebrating 25 Magical Years of Disney on Broadway.

The concert premiered online at 7PM New York time / 12AM London on Friday, April 17 to raise money for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS’ COVID-19 Emergency Assistance Fund which is helping those onstage, backstage and behind the scenes impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
