Welcome, foolish mortals, to The Haunted Mansion—as brought to life by the spirited voices of the Simmons Singers! Inspired by Disney’s beloved attraction, this year’s show invites audiences into a Haunted Mansion where they will be greeted by five “Grinning Grim Ghosts”, featuring Elliott Hansen, Emmory Hanson, Eiler Jensen, Jillian Lepkowski, and Eva Vogel.

Guiding you through a “Nightmare Medley”, Simmons Singers will take you on a journey through the mansion with “Somebody’s Watching Me”, featuring Sienna Gray, and into “Calling all the Monsters” and “Come and Get It”, featuring Joy Drevlow.

In their ballad “Lovely”, featuring Lauryn Robinson, they reflect on being trapped inside The Haunted Mansion, unable to escape and stuck asking the question… “Isn’t It Lovely…All Alone…?”

As you enter our “House of Memories” featuring Ava Briese, you are reminded of a place where memories—portraits, echoes, spirits, and unfinished stories—are trapped in time.

Simmons Singers is certainly dying to meet you! We hope you enjoy the show… and beware of hitchhiking ghosts!
