You can expect an “all-new act” where the bears sing Disney songs in new styles like pop-country, rockabilly, and bluegrass. You’ll even get to hear a version of “Bare Necessities” in rockabilly style.

The show will also be inspired heavily by the Opry-style shows found in Nashville, Tennessee. In fact, Nashville artists are involved in the new song arrangements. Big fans of the original show will want to pay close attention as there will be easter eggs throughout the new production that nod to the older show.
