Disneyland Paris

EXTRA! EXTRA!! READ ALL ABOUT IT!!

We are beyond thrilled to announce that Jose has recently been cast as SIMBA in Disneyland Paris’ spectacular show, “The Lion King: Rhythms of the Pride Lands.”  That said, as of September 5th, Jose will be relocating to France for a 7 month contract.

 

In this exclusive show, you will be able relive iconic moments from The Lion King film, already popular with thousands of spectators! Get ready for 30 minutes of singing, dancing, and acrobatics as the talented cast entertain you in the state-of-the-art, 1200 seat “Frontierland Theater,” the largest theater in Disneyland, Paris.

 

MESSAGE FROM JOSE:
“Many don’t know this, but being on Broadway has always been a long time dream/aspiration of mine. More specifically, being cast as Simba in Broadway’s “The Lion King” Musical. That’s why this new venture, while dream adjacent, means so much to me. I may not be Simba on Broadway, but I am SIMBA, nonetheless!

Thank you, Disneyland, Paris, for this awesome opportunity. I couldn’t be more excited and I can’t wait to be able to (finally) bring this character to life.”

Merry Christmas 2022 & Happy New Year 2023

⛄ MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄

We made it to the end of the year, you guys! As we go forward with our holiday festivities, though, let us not lose sight of the REAL reason for the season! While you are spending time with your loved ones, hold tight to the true essence of what Christmas is all about! While Jesus may not have actually been birthed during this specific time, He remains the sole reason for why we are able to celebrate! No matter what you have planned, make sure you set aside some time to spend time with Him as well!
And as this year comes to a close, remember that the start of a new year can be a very moving experience. It’s a time when we reflect with gratitude on the past and set our hopes and intentions for the days ahead. What’s more, a new year usually gives us a new opportunity to reinvigorate our enthusiasm for chasing goals and dreams.
Just like every year, 2022 had its ups and downs. However, I truly can’t thank you all enough for sticking with me! Whether you supported me before this year or you were introduced to me during this year, thank you for continuing to believe in me!
With the new year approaching, remember Jeremiah 29:11: “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” May God richly bless you and your loved ones as you head into 2023. I can’t wait to see what adventures await us! 💙
🍾 HAPPY NEW YEAR 🥂
