The singers here are absolutely fantastic, professional, easy on the eye and with the necessary voice quality to send the lyrics soaring. But they forgot the most important thing. For a program called "Disney's Broadway Hits", it was the hits, the songs themselves that should have been the stars, not the vocalists. This should have been a case of 'it's the song, not the singer'. They were so "noble' that they "nobled" the entertainment value out of existence.
Too many obscure songs, sung without a single blemish I admit, but causing me to fast forward to find songs that I knew. And when found, they were, in turn, found wanting. Some choreography, folks, would have enhanced and, for me, saved the entire show, which I abandoned before the end. Disney songs need to be performed, not just exquisitely sung.
