Welcome to JLGB Virtual: We Are Live, our new podcast series spreading the content of our evening shows. In this episode, we speak to the man who has written the soundtrack for our lives, legendary composer, Alan Menken! Best known for his role as the composer for Disney's The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Pocahontas, and the Hunchback of Notre Dame, as well as Broadway Hits, the Little Shop of Horrors and Newsies.
As part of JLGB's recent adjustments to the Coronavirus lockdown, we have been helping parents and young people stay entertained and active, all online! In order to adapt our delivery to the government restrictions, on the 23rd of March we launched JLGB Virtual, which runs every Monday-Thursday evening. This is our way of ensuring that we can continue to delight, inform and entertain young people so that they can have fun, learn new skills and make a difference. Sessions include skills like magic, upcycling and coding, physical activities and, the focus of this podcast series, interviews with expert speakers from a range of backgrounds including famous actors, social entrepreneurs, government ministers and more!
