Beast Composer Will Perform Songs from Beloved Disney Films and
Share Stories from His Incredible Career During Two Performances at
the Ultimate Disney Fan Event
Disney aficionados, film buffs, and musical theater fans can
expect a show like no other when eight-time Oscar®-winner Alan
Menken performs his own music and shares entertaining anecdotes
about his unrivaled career at D23 Expo 2017. His songs and music
have enchanted audiences around the world, and now they will thrill
D23 Expo guests with two performances of his exciting new one-man
show, A Whole New World of Alan Menken, on Sunday, July 16, 2017,
at 1:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. in Hall D23 of the Anaheim Convention
Center.
Menken has won more Academy Awards® than any other living

credited with introducing a whole new generation to musicals
through such box office hits as Beauty and the Beast, The Little
Mermaid, Aladdin, Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame,
Enchanted, and Tangled, as well as the Broadway shows Little Shop
of Horrors, Sister Act, Newsies, A Bronx Tale, and the ABC
television series Galavant.
The one-man show is written and performed by Menken and directed
by Richard Kraft, the creative director of the highly
acclaimed Disney’s The Little Mermaid in Concert at The
Hollywood Bowl starring Sara Bareilles and Rebel Wilson, as
well as the upcoming La La Land in Concert: A Live-To-Film
Celebration at the Hollywood Bowl.
A Whole New World of Alan Menken is produced by Laura Engel

the Hollywood Bowl, Disney’s The Little Mermaid in Concert at
The Hollywood Bowl, Live from Lincoln Center: Danny Elfman’s
Music from the Films of Tim Burton, which recently won two Emmy®
awards for its PBS broadcast, and the upcoming La La Land
in Concert: A Live-To-Film Celebration at the Hollywood
Bowl.

fabric of our lives since his first works were produced nearly 40
years ago. Song and score credits for film musicals include The
Little Mermaid, Beauty and The Beast (animated and live-action
