For her performance in Frozen, she was nominated for a Drama League Award for Distinguished Performance and an Outer Circle Critics Award for Outstanding Actress in a Musical.

Patti was incredibly popular when she played Glinda in the first national tour of Wicked. She was also in Lady Be Good at New York City Center Encores, she played Belle in the American Tour of Beauty and the Beast, and Ariel in The Little Mermaid, Paulette in Legally Blonde, and Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors, all at The Muny in St. Louis, which is America’s oldest and largest outdoor musical theatre!

Hello, and welcome to The Mouse and Me. Scott Jacobs will be your chief podcast host today.

There’s something very special about Soarin’. This attraction has been a Guest favorite at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World since the day it opened. A lot of work was put into Soarin’ by the Disney Imagineers, who are well-known to put hidden secrets, Easter eggs, and fun facts into the rides and attractions. You better believe that they took additional time to fill Soarin’ with some extra magic and in this Magical Moments, Scott is going to talk about just that!

So the next time you take a flight around California or the entire world, see if you can spot them!
