Tony Winner and Grammy nominee at Ponycon in February
A special musical performance will take place at Ponycon that will include Tony Award winner and Grammy nominee Lena Hall.
Hall
voiced a pony character in the most recent season of the My Little
Pony: Friendship is Magic television show. The character “Countess
Coloratura” (a.k.a. Rara) is a singer performing her first ever concert
in Ponyville. Likewise, this is Lena Hall’s FIRST My Little Pony
convention appearance.
She will perform “The Magic Inside,” a song she sang in the show’s 5th
season. Others performing at that event include more singing voices of
My Little Pony including show star Ashleigh Ball (the voice for Rainbow
Dash and Apple Jack) Peter New, Vincent Tong, Ingrid Nilson, Andrew
Francis, Shannon Chan-Kent and Kazumi Evans. Singer Lady Aria Phantasy (opera and music from the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic television show) and The Shake Ups in Ponyville will perform their MLP-inspired tunes which are a kids favorite.
Taking place February 13th, 14th and 15th Ponycon is an all ages, inclusive fan convention with programming for children and families as well as Bronies (teenage and adult fans of the show).
