The Royal Albert Hall celebrated the music of Disney’s stage adaptations on 23 October 2016.

Featuring an appearance by Tony and eight-time Academy Award winner Alan Menken – who received an immediate and sustained standing ovation – and the 74 piece BBC Concert Orchestra under the baton of Keith Lockhart, the evening ended with a surprise appearance by the West End cast of Aladdin in a performance of the show-stopping “Friend Like Me.”
