Disney lovers dare to dream

Disney lovers in Hobsons Bay are in for a treat next month when the Williamstown Musical Theatre Company (WMTC) performs “Dare to Dream Jr” from August 1 to 10.

A new musical featuring more than 20 songs from 100 years of Disney movies and musicals, Dare to Dream Jr is the WMCT’s junior production for this year and will be performed at the Altona Theatre by cast members aged from eight to 18.

The musical follows an eager group of Disney imagineers on their first day at a fictional Walt Disney Studios.

“An imagineer is a creative professional at Walt Disney, responsible for designing and developing attractions, theme parks, resorts, cruise ships, and other Disney entertainment experiences,” explained director Stuart Dodge.

Throughout the show, the young imagineers work together to discover the power of dreams to unite, inspire, and make anything possible, a process that results in them regularly breaking out into song.

Fan-favourites from Frozen, The Little Mermaid, Coco, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and Encanto are among those included in the 90-minute show.

“Dare To Dream Jr is full of Disney musical favourites,” said Dodge.

“The diverse offering of classics and more modern Disney songs have been so fun to bring to life on the stage.

“The dedication the team show to the production and the wellbeing, development and enjoyment of the Junior cast is something to be admired.”
