Encanto: The Sing-Along Film Concert

October 3 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

UConn Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts Storrs Connecticut

Encanto: The Sing-Along Film Concert, is an opportunity to enjoy the music of the Academy Award®-winning film, while watching the entire feature-length film come to life accompanied by a live band. Fans of the Disney animated musical “Encanto” can sing along with their favorite songs including iconic hits like “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” and “Surface Pressure” performed by Banda de la Casita.

Family members are encouraged to dress up as Mirabel, Luisa, Isabela, or any of their favorite characters from the film and to use their voices to transform Jorgensen into one big celebration of the Madrigal.

“Encanto” tells the tale of an extraordinary family, the Madrigals, who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia, in a magical house, in a vibrant town, in a wondrous, charmed place called an Encanto. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift from super strength to the power to heal; every child except one – Mirabel (voice of Stephanie Beatriz). But when she discovers that the magic surrounding the Encanto is in danger, Mirabel decides that she, the only ordinary Madrigal, might just be her exceptional family’s last hope.

The film features songs by Emmy®, GRAMMY® and Tony Award® winner Lin-Manuel Miranda (“Hamilton,” “Moana”) and is directed by Byron Howard (“Zootopia,” “Tangled”) and Jared Bush (co-director “Zootopia”), co-directed by Charise Castro Smith (writer “The Death of Eva Sofia Valdez”).

The Los Angeles Times described “Encanto” as “a vibrantly hued and energetic swirl of almost nonstop motion, and Miranda’s songs skip from genre to genre, from traditional Disney ballads to reggaeton-inspired tunes and even a tribute to Colombia’s own rock goddess, Shakira. The script is fast and furious, packed with jokes and references.”

Performance Time: Thursday, October 3, 6:30 p.m., Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
