Celebrate 100 Years of Disney Music

A new release from Music Theatre International Australasia, Disney's Dare to Dream JR. is a 60-minute musical revue that celebrates a century of Disney music, offering young performers a dynamic platform to showcase their talents. 

This new show follows a group of trainees on their first day at a fictional Walt Disney Imagineering Studio, embarking on a journey to discover their dreams. 

The revue features a diverse selection of songs from Disney's repertoire, including classics like "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" from Cinderella and "Be Our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast. It also introduces songs from newer films such as "Surface Pressure" from Encanto and "When I Am Older" from Frozen II, which are making their stage debut in this production. 

Designed specifically for young performers, Dare to Dream JR. offers many opportunities for ensembles and can accommodate casts of various sizes. The production is structured to be accessible and engaging for performers of all skill levels. 

The show premiered at the 2025 Junior Theatre Festival in Atlanta, Georgia USA, where it was performed by a cast of 100 actors aged 8 to 18. The performance received enthusiastic acclaim from the audience and was a festival highlight of Travel Gang’s Aussie All-Stars who were in attendance.

The production is now available for licensing through Music Theatre International Australasia (MTI). The ShowKit includes actors’ scripts, a director's guide, vocal tracks, and choreography videos, facilitating an easy and efficient rehearsal and performance process. 

Dare to Dream JR. offers a magical and inspiring theatrical experience, blending Disney's rich musical heritage with a narrative that encourages young performers to explore their dreams and creativity.
