And so will you at this concert of wonderful music from films like Toy Story 2, Hercules, Coco, How to Train Your Dragon, Mulan, and more. Get your tickets early because our Movie Pops concerts always sell out. You don’t want to miss this fun night of great music or any of our comedian-conductor Yaniv’s jokes and skits!
