A sing-a-long version of Encanto is set to work its spell upon children during a one-off special at Sunderland Empire.
Set to bring some cheer to the autumn gloom, the matinee show - by the producers of the popular Sing-a-Long-a Frozen - promises to be a lively take on the 2021 animated film musical about the magical Madrigal family, with audiences very much involved in the action. Song lyrics will be shown on a giant screen so that everyone can sing - and even dance - along to the story and young ones are being encouraged to really enter into the spirit of things by wearing fancy dress too.
Sing-A-Long-A Encanto will take place at the Sunderland theatre on October 2, at 1pm, when a live host will be on hand to lead the singing, teach some dance moves and reveal how to make use of a bag of props which will come free with tickets. And full audience participation, say organisers, is essential as it's the audience members themselves who are the stars of the show.
