the disney songbook
Danielle Matthews reinterprets the Disney songbook with all the warmth, humour and vocal power that has made her one of Australia’s most popular vocalists.
You’ve seen her incredible tribute to the great Shirley Bassey and now Danielle’s back with a love letter to Mickey and Walt and all the incredible music they inspired!
Songs range from classic ballads like Beauty and the Beast, Feed the Birds, Baby Mine and The Circle of Lifeto sultry swinging versions of He’s a Tramp and I’ve Got No Strings!
Then with the astonishing vocal versatility that’s her trademark Danielle will effortlessly switch from the intensity of showstoppers like Let it Go to the comically operatic antics of a very special version of Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf!!
But don’t be fooled this one’s not just for the Grandkids – When You Wish Upon a Star is truly a show for all ages!
