Jodi Benson Surprises Audience During ‘Disney Princess: The Concert’ Tour

Thirty-three years ago today, Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” from Walt Disney Animation Studios made a big splash in theaters, introducing us all to the beloved Princess Ariel. Since then, Disney Legend Jodi Benson, who lent her voice as the original speaking and singing voice of Ariel in the classic animated film, continues to carry-on Ariel’s courage, kindness and inclusivity to all.  

During a recent visit to Walt Disney World Resort, Jodi surprised one lucky audience with a dazzling performance of “Part of Your World,” joining the talented cast of “Disney Princess – The Concert” during their appearance in Orlando, Florida, at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts.

Disney Princess – The Concert” is a quartet of Broadway and television icons coming together on stage to bring to life the music of the Disney Princesses and Frozen queens. Drama Desk-nominee Christy Altomare (original ‘Anastasia,’ “Mamma Mia!”), Broadway.com Audience Award-nominee Isabelle McCalla (’Princess Jasmine’ in “Aladdin,” “The Prom”), Disney Channel star Anneliese van der Pol (‘Belle’ in “Beauty and the Beast” and ‘Chelsea Daniels’ on “That’s So Raven”/”Raven’s Home”), and Broadway World Award-winner Syndee Winters (‘Nala’ in “The Lion King,” “Hamilton”) combine forces with their magical Music Director, Benjamin Rauhala (“Fiddler on the Roof”) and enchanting Prince, Adam J. Levy (“Moulin Rouge”). 


“Disney Princess – The Concert” continues to dazzle audiences across North America in its Fall US 2022 Tour. Trust me, you do not want to miss hearing these gorgeous renditions of classic Disney Princess and Frozen songs performed by an incredibly talented cast of Broadway stars!

This one-time special performance of “Part of Your World” was made extra special by the recent release of Jodi’s new book “Part of My World: What I’ve Learned from ‘The Little Mermaid’ about Love, Faith, and Finding My Voice.” This book is a treasure trove of colorful characters and unforgettable anecdotes and a captivating glimpse behind the curtain at the making of the classic animated film, “The Little Mermaid.”
