As the Disney Destiny prepares to welcome its first guests, castmember Regina LeVert stands at the center of one of the ship\u2019s most ambitious and culturally resonant offerings Pride Lands: Feast The Lion King<\/a><\/em>. A lifelong performer who has traveled the world, Regina\u2019s journey to the Disney Cruise Line<\/a> is a story of artistry, authenticity, and profound heritage. Regina sat down with a group of journalists to chat about her experience performing in front of dinner guests on the ship and how her experience through Disney has shaped her as an artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born in Los Angeles, Regina spent years performing across Japan and Europe before returning home in 2018 to be closer to family. That homecoming sparked a new chapter with Disney when she joined Frozen \u2013 Live at the Hyperion<\/em> at Disneyland<\/a>. Then came a pivotal moment: the first-ever all-Black production at Disneyland, A Tale of the Lion King<\/a><\/em>, an early 25-minute incarnation of the show now staged aboard the Destiny. Under director Paul Bryant, that production planted the seeds for what would later become Pride Lands<\/a> Feast<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen Paul called me about workshopping the show for the Destiny, I immediately knew it was special,\u201d Regina recalls. What began as a solo storytelling piece with a pair of dancers has since evolved into a fully collaborative ensemble experience. \u201cI love this incarnation. It\u2019s richer, more layered, and we get to pass the story between voices. That energy is everything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
Regina LeVert<\/mark><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

For Regina, the show\u2019s cultural significance is inseparable from its artistry. She speaks with deep emotion about the responsibility of guiding guests, many of whom may be encountering African cultures for the first time, a through a story rooted in tradition. \u201cDisney brought in dialect coaches and cultural consultants. They made sure we understood the gestures, movement, and meaning. As African Americans, learning more about Africa has been a gift. And honoring it correctly is everything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has experienced the impact of representation firsthand. At Frozen<\/em>, she once locked eyes with a little Black girl during curtain call. \u201cShe wasn\u2019t looking at Anna or Elsa. She was looking at me. And I knew what that meant.\u201d It echoed a pivotal moment from her own childhood, seeing a touring production of The Wiz<\/em> and realizing there was space for her onstage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That sense of purpose informs her work on the Disney Destiny<\/a>. Whether navigating the challenges of performing live while guests dine or adjusting to the movement of a ship at sea, Regina views every show as a chance to connect. \u201cIt\u2019s always someone\u2019s first time seeing it. They deserve your full heart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her bond with the cast \u2014 and even the ship\u2019s musicians \u2014 runs generations deep. Some collaborators she met as early as 2018 at Disneyland. Others she met only when rehearsals began in Toronto. But building something from scratch forged immediate intimacy. \u201cYou get to know each other sooner because you\u2019re sharing parts of yourself every day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked why she chose Disney Cruise Line after performing across the world, Regina\u2019s answer is simple: the opportunity to develop a new work rooted in culture, community, and authenticity. \u201cI\u2019d love to come back in five years and see how the show has grown. It feels like we\u2019re shepherding this story into the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What she hopes families take away from Pride Lands Feast<\/em> is equally heartfelt. \u201cThe story is about facing challenges \u2014 every hero must. I hope families engage with each other, talk, share, sit together over a meal, and reflect. Live performance reminds us that nothing replaces real human connection.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Disney continues expanding space for diverse storytelling, from Regina\u2019s show to a Black actor leading Hercules<\/em><\/a> on the Disney Destiny, she sees momentum building. \u201cLet\u2019s keep going. Keep expanding. Keep telling these stories the way they deserve to be told.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regina LeVert is redefining what it means to bring legacy, culture, and representation to the high seas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
