Disney has shared a job posting for Disney Jollywood Nights, a seasonal after-hours event at Disney’s Hollywood Studios this winter. The posting is on the Disney Auditions website and calls for male and female-identifying vocalists, as well as Tiana and Belle performers specifically, for the holiday special show hosted by Kermit and Miss Piggy. Tiana will need to be able to riff in a style similar to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas,” but it’s not clear what song she will be singing. As previously announced, Belle will be singing “As Long As There’s Christmas” from “Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas.”

Disney Live Entertainment is seeking Vocalists for a new Holiday offering performed select nights November 11 – December 20 in Disney Jollywood Nights. This new show will be performed live at Disney’s Hollywood Studios® at the Walt Disney World® Resort near Orlando, FL.
For the holiday season, Disney Live Entertainment is pulling out all the stops to bring you a spectacular variety of entertainment experiences across Walt Disney World Resort, including a brand-new nighttime holiday party at Disney’s Hollywood Studios – Disney Jollywood Nights.
Performers are under seasonal contracts between October – December 2023.
Theatre of the Stars plays host to an all-new stage show rooted in the glitz and glamor of vintage Hollywood television specials, with a contemporary twist of Disney holiday magic. Famous Muppets Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy will be special guests in this star-studded production, which features appearances by Tiana, Belle, Minnie Mouse, and Mickey Mouse. Joined by a talented cast of singers, dancers and live jazz musicians, the show is sure to get you in the spirit of the holidays with a toe tapping, heartwarming, jolly good time.
SEEKING:
Male identifying Vocalist: Tenor crooner with an edge, comfortable singing in a high energy big band/rockabilly style similar to Brian Setzer, definitely an entertainer at heart, vocal range: B/C below middle C to G/A above middle C.
Female Identifying Vocalist: Strong mezzo soprano with ability to sing pop/jazz and light riffing, comfortable singing in a high energy big band/rockabilly style and making a “standard” song their own, a natural entertainer with a similar singing syle to Ella Fitzgerald. Vocal range: A/G below middle C to comfortable belt D/E an octave above middle C.
Tiana: Charismatic and Strong mezzo soprano with a pop belt to an E (in the octave above middle C), and ability to riff in a style similar to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas.”
Belle: She will be singing “As Long As There’s Christmas” in the same key as the movie score – so “in character” traditional musical theater singing style, vocal range: G below middle C to Eb an octave above middle C.
Disney is also seeking performers for “The Nightmare Before Christmas” sing-along.
