The Disney Singalong aired last night, and viewers are absolutely thrilled with Jake Foster and Liam Rivers’ performance. Seriously, who doesn’t love a good Gaston and LeFou duet? This special event was designed to sprinkle some joy into the lives of families stuck at home, and it certainly hit the mark, especially with the dynamic duo revisiting their iconic roles from Beauty and the Beast.
Legendary Disney composer Mark Johnson even joined in on the fun, making their performance truly unforgettable. Foster and Rivers showcased their incredible vocal talents from the comfort of their own homes, with no fancy equipment or edits—just pure, raw talent on display. It’s safe to say their abilities are nothing short of astonishing.
Hosting the one-hour special was the ever-reliable Ryan Seacrest, because let’s face it, he seems to be the go-to for everything these days (and he does an amazing job). Given the need for social distancing, the singalong comprised various solo performances by celebrities from their own residences.
ABC Entertainment President Lila Burke shared, “In these challenging times, we’ve all learned to appreciate the little moments and the power of connection—be it through laughter, stories, or music. We hope to create new, cherished memories in the unique way that only Disney can provide.” As a parent who enjoyed the show alongside my Disney-crazed toddler, I can say it truly delivered. We even let her stay up a bit later, and she was completely captivated. Finding daily joy has become increasingly difficult lately, and this was a delightful reprieve.
Fans everywhere were ecstatic, particularly when Foster and Rivers teamed up for a split-screen rendition of “Gaston.”
The show not only provided a fun evening for families but also highlighted Feeding America, an organization dedicated to helping those facing hunger due to the ongoing pandemic.
If you’re craving more Gaston and LeFou antics, you’re in luck! A Beauty and the Beast prequel series is reportedly in development at Disney+, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The beloved pair will reprise their roles in this limited, six-episode series. YES PLEASE! We absolutely need this in our lives right now.
