The Dancing with the Stars ballroom is getting a spectacular makeover as the competition celebrates “Disney Night.”
Because ABC is dedicating Tuesday night to election coverage, this week’s special DWTS episode is moving to Monday, November 2. It’s certainly better than missing a week, although viewers will have to decide whether to watch Dancing with the Stars or The Voice.
The crowded reality TV schedule is not for the faint of heart—especially when two popular shows land in the same time slot.
This “Disney Night” episode features a lineup of beloved songs, including Ezra Frech and Daniella Karagach performing “Under the Sea” from The Little Mermaid, while Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy take on “Be Our Guest” from Beauty and the Beast. Adding even more star power, Wicked actor Cynthia Erivo will join the panel as a guest judge.
