Tonight, performers from the cast of Disney’s The Lion King will be part of “City of Hope: Nola Cares” at the Joy Theater. The night will combine music, dance and spoken word; it will be hosted by Spud McConnell and feature live music by Theresa Andersson and performances by the Mudhoney Dance Collective.
