EPCOT Candlelight Processional Narrators for 2014

candlelightIn just a few days, one of Disney’s oldest and most cherished holiday traditions will return to EPCOT in the Candlelight Processional. The show involves the retelling of the Christmas story by a celebrity narrator accompanied on stage by a 50-piece orchestra, and a glorious mass choir including the famous living Christmas Tree composed of the volunteer Cast Member choir.

Among new celebrity narrators this year is Jonathan Groff, who voiced the rugged mountain man Kristoff in “Frozen,” and Ana Gasteyer, SNL alum and from ABC’s Suburgatory and The Goldbergs. Of the current group, I’ve heard Neil Patrick Harris and Edward James Olmos perform and would recommend either. However, I don’t think you can go wrong any night this year.

Candlelight performances are at 5, 6:45 and 8:15 p.m. at America Gardens Theatre. (Show times on December 7 are 6:45 and 8:15 p.m. only)
