For nearly 14 years, Wishes: A Magical Gathering of Disney Dreams lit up the night skies over Magic Kingdom, but it wasn’t just the fireworks that made this show unforgettable. It was the music.
In this episode of Stream the Magic: Music Behind the Attractions, we dive deep into the musical history of Wishes: the creative vision of Disney’s Steven Davison, the original score by Gregory Smith, and the vocal performances that brought hope, wonder, and magic to millions of guests.
You’ll hear about:
🎵 The origins of the “Wishes” theme and its recording at Skywalker Sound
🎵 The voices behind the show: Michele Landahl, David Wise, and Charity Farris
🎵 The orchestral magic led by conductor Dan Savant and music director Steve Skorija
🎵 The vital behind-the-scenes work of vocal producer Andy de Ganahl and engineer John “JR” Richardson
🎵 How this beloved show left a lasting legacy in Disney Parks entertainment
If you’ve ever stood on Main Street, U.S.A. and gazed at the fireworks with a wish in your heart, this one’s for you.
