Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, and other stars are hosting a Disney singalong for us at home

Warm up your vocal cords because your dreams of singing with Disney stars are coming true. We all need some entertainment as we quarantine at home to prevent the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande, and other A-listers are here to help. They’re all joining The Disney Family Singalong—which is exactly what it sounds like, and we’re so excited.

The Disney Family Singalong will air on ABC this Thursday, featuring a ton of celebrities singing Disney classics from their own homes. Seriously, the list of names goes and on and on and on. In addition to Grande and Lovato, there’s Christina Aguilera, Auli’i Cravalho, Kristin Chenoweth, Elle Fanning, and more. Like, a lot more. If you stood in the vicinity of a Disney or ABC property in the past 15 years, you’re going to be on this thing and singing your heart out.

If that’s not enough, the Disney singalong will also include a High School Musical reunion—and yes, even Zac Efron is involved.

The High School Musical cast will perform “We’re All In This Together,” which couldn’t be a more appropriate song right now. According to Deadline, Efron was a last-minute addition and will share a message during the special. “We couldn’t reach Zac until late but when we did, he immediately jumped in, of course,” High School Musical director Kenny Ortega told Deadline.

“Everyone we reached out to was quick,” Ortega added, “and you’ll see it in their spirit and the way they come together from their homes. They recognize this is an opportunity to strengthen spirits for those joining us for the broadcast.”

For High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens, it’ll also be an opportunity to make up for her past remarks about COVID-19.
