ATTN: Encanto Is Going On Tour With A Sing-Along Concert This Summer
You can officially sing-along to the movie with a live band!
Soon we will be able to talk about Bruno, the Madrigal family, and wait on the miracle in front of a large, singing audience! This summer, Disney’s magical movie Encanto will be turned into a national sing-along at the Encanto: The Sing-Along Film Concert Tour. The production will be an epic experience for Encanto fans that will include a screening of the entire feature-length film and an on-stage band performing all of the hit songs from the soundtrack.
Lin-Manuel Miranda composed all of the music for the Encanto soundtrack and drew inspiration from his previous music-movie production, Moana, and the movie’s cultural references. “When they make a movie, it becomes a lot of people’s first glimpse at that culture, for better or worse. And so they take it really seriously,” Miranda told Deadline in a March 2022 interview. “And so I, you know, I had a good experience on (Moana) and I said, ‘If you’re making a Latin-themed, Disney musical, like, I’ve been waiting all my life for the call. And so we chose Colombia because of the incredible diversity because it’s the home of magical realism.”
Miranda ultimately created hits like “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” “Surface Pressure,” and “Waiting On A Miracle,” all of which will surely be heard during the live concert tour this summer. So here’s what you need to know.
