MANILA, Philippines - The Araneta Center continues to provide top-tier entertainment by bringing two of the most exciting shows to the country.
On Sept. 1 to 6, prepare to step into a world of wonder with Disney Live! Mickey’s Music Festival featuring Mickey Mouse and his pals along with Disney characters from Aladdin, The Little Mermaid and Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story.
The 90-minute production features a line-up of more than 25 Disney stars singing and dancing to popular Disney hits remixed to rock, pop, reggae, hip-hop and country music.
It’s going to be a frolicsome Disney jam session fit for the entire family, but what is sure to pique the interest of audience is the venue where this spectacular show will be staged.
Remember the New Frontier Theater back in the ‘60s? Disney Live! Mickey’s Music Festival will be the first show this year to herald reopening.
The soon-to-open theater, which is part of Araneta Center’s “extreme” transformation, will be renamed Kia Theater after a five-year naming rights deal with Colombian Autocar Corp. (CAC), the assembler and exclusive distributor of Kia Motors vehicles in the Philippines.
As part of the deal, CAC will put Kia Motors’ moniker and logo and will be setting up a 304.96 square-meter Kia showroom inside the venue. The ultra-modern theater has a 2,385 seating capacity. It will also feature al-fresco dining restaurants, coffee shops and other retail brands along its perimeter.
Another reason to celebrate the coming Christmas season is the traditional staging of Disney on Ice at the Smart Araneta Coliseum from Dec. 25 to Jan. 3.
Disney Live! Mickey’s Music Festival and Disney On Ice Magical Ice Festival featuring Frozen are both produced by Feld Entertainment.
