Theme: "Let It Go ~ Open the Door"
“Disney on Classic,” born in 2002 as the world's first original Japanese Disney live entertainment, has a theme every year. It embodies seven virtues depicted in Disney works such as “love,” “kindness,” “dreams,” and “adventure,” along with the producer's wish for “a kinder world through music.”
This year's theme is "Let It Go ~ Open the Door."
The strength to free oneself and the courage to accept oneself as one is. Even when pausing, that single step leads to a future beyond the door. We will deliver Disney stories and music that resonate with this sentiment.
At "Disney on Classic ~ A Magical Night of Music," look forward to the world of Disney woven with music, visuals, and lighting, featuring 'Frozen' for the first time in 10 years since the 2016 tour, as well as 'Aladdin', 'Moana 2', 'Encanto', 'Tarzan', and 'The Lion King II: Simba's Pride'!
