Mirabel is back for a live concert at the Hollywood Bowl.
Disney

Disney is transforming the Hollywood Bowl into the Madrigal family's Casita from Encanto for two live performances of the movie, it said Friday. Encanto at the Hollywood Bowl is scheduled to go on stage Nov. 11 and Nov. 12.

The concerts will be introduced by Lin-Manuel Miranda and will star original voice actors from the movie, including Stephanie Beatriz (Mirabel), Jessica Darrow (Luisa), Diane Guerrero (Isabela), Adassa (Dolores), Carolina Gaitán (Pepa), Mauro Castillo (Félix), Angie Cepeda (Julieta) and Olga Merediz (Abuela Alma).

They'll be performing the hugely popular songs from the movie, including We Don't Talk About Bruno -- which hit the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in February, making it the only the song from a Disney animated feature to top the chart apart from Aladdin's A Whole New World in 1994.

Encanto live will also have an 80-person orchestra, a Colombian band with musicians from the original Encanto soundtrack, 50 dancers, and special effects to bring the movie to life onstage.

Ticket prices for the live performances currently start at about $60, and Disney will be filming so it can showcase the concert on Disney Plus on Dec. 28.
