On July 19-20, «Disney ’80s-’90s Celebration in Concert» took place at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. It was a show filled with lots of nostalgia, delivering non-stop fun and special performances, including a talented ensemble that included Corbin Bleu from «High School Musical».

The original voice actor of Ariel in «The Little Mermaid,» Jodi Benson, made a special appearance to perform «Part of Your World» from the memorable 1989 animated film. Another special appearance was made by Susan Egan, who voiced Meg in «Hercules» (1997), and sang «I won’t say (I’m in love).»

The last surprise of the night was Goofy himself -Bill Farmer- singing «On the Open Road» from «A Goofy Movie» (1995).

This unforgettable event ended with a resounding ‘thank you’ to the crowd, Disney and, of course, The Bowl. The grand finale featured the iconic «i2i» song, also from «A Goofy Movie,» performed by Corbin Bleu as Powerline. Bleu, dazzling in a gold suit, delivered a performance that was truly out of this world, helping put a bow on the show of a lifetime.

Without a doubt, the Disney celebration at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles was something incredible and magical, in which anyone who grew up in the 80s and 90s became a child again, at least… for a little bit.
