Disney in Concert Returns to Terre Haute
[Terre Haute, IN] – The magic of Disney is coming to Terre Haute! The Terre Haute Symphony Orchestra is pleased to present Disney in Concert: Magical Music from the Movies on April 9, 2022, at 7:30pm at Tilson Auditorium on Indiana State University’s campus. Arguably the most anticipated concert of the 2021-2022 season, this concert will enchant Mouseketeers of all ages! Every new generation has a favorite Disney musical, whether it’s The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, or Frozen. And then there are the classics, from a Mary Poppins medley to the “Yo ho” of Pirates of the Caribbean. When everyone joins together for memorable moments and melodies we all know by heart, it feels like a small world, after all.
“We are thrilled to bring back Disney in Concert to Terre Haute! We are particularly excited to welcome so many families to the symphony and share with them the excitement of live music, right here in Terre Haute,” commented Samantha Johnson-Helms, Executive Director and Principal Clarinet.
Audiences will be enchanted by the THSO musicians, conductor Dr. David Bowden, projected video clips from iconic Disney films, and four Broadway caliber vocalists: Lisa Livesay, Whitney Claire Kaufman, Aaron Phillips, and Andrew Johnson!
Lisa Livesay is no stranger to Disney: she’s played Belle in Disney’s Beauty & the Beast! You also may have seen her in the role of Glinda in the national tour of Wicked, as well as other theatrical productions like Monteen in Jason Robert Brown’s Parade (LA Music Center), Olive in 25th...Spelling Bee, Peter Pan in Peter Pan, and Cathy in The Last 5 Years. Lisa has performed with the San Francisco Symphony, Houston Symphony, Dallas Symphony, Oregon Symphony, and now the Terre Haute Symphony Orchestra!
Whitney Claire Kaufman recently completed two years with the North American Tour of the Broadway smash-hit Mamma Mia! (Ensemble, Understudy for Sophie and Lisa). She’s performed as Guest Soloist with the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra and the Pacific Symphony Orchestra, Guest Soloist with the Florida Orchestra, and has appeared in Cabaret (Sally Bowles), A Midsummer Night’s Dream, (Peaseblossom), Marisol (June), The Los Angeles Theatre Ensembles’ production of Wounded, as well as many other theatrical productions. Her favorite Disney movie is The Little Mermaid, with Cinderella as a close second.
Aaron Phillips is an Ovation Award nominated actor/singer, proud member of Actor’s Equity, and can frequently be seen on film and TV. You may have seen Aaron as Carl, half of the duo that is the face of Lipton Iced Tea. He is also an accomplished voice-over talent and can be heard in video games such as World of Warcraft, Grand Theft Auto V, Red Dead Redemption, and Lord of the Rings. Aaron has been a Disney fan his entire life and is happy to help bring this music to fans of all ages.
Andrew Johnson is a Disney kid at heart and is humbled to share the music and magic from the stage! Andrew has performed on FOX’s The X-Factor, The Conan O’Brien Show, and the MTV Video Music Awards. He has sung background for artists such as Demi Lovato, Fifth Harmony, LeAnn Rimes, and Florence and the Machine. His theatrical credits include Frozen-Live at the Hyperion (Prince Hans), Rent (Benny), Five Guys Named Moe (Four-Eyed Moe), and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (Joseph). He’s also performed with singer/actress Jodie Benson, the voice of Ariel in Disney’s film The Little Mermaid!
