“Sing sweet nightingale.” 🎶🐦✨
From their degrees in voice to their extensive theatrical resumes, we are proud to bring each character to life by professional vocalists and seasoned performers. Our performers have graced stages across Europe, Asia, North America and even at the Magic Kingdom itself.
With a background in opera, one of April's biggest goals when founding WYW was to build a team of experienced vocalists who would wholeheartedly channel their talent and passion into creating authentic character experiences for your family. There is nothing quite like that unforgettable moment when a child's eyes light up and the magic is suddenly made real as their favorite Princess takes their hands and sings the song they both love most.

“Remember you’re the one who can fill the world with sunshine.” ☀️🍎
Did you know that nearly every one of our characters has received costume upgrades since our Oregon opening in 2020? We are constantly working to improve, update and continually provide the very best character entertainment in the Northwest.
Fun Fact: Our Snow performer (owner of our company, April Miller) was just under 20 weeks pregnant in this photo from our ball last month. She is taking a small break from performing until her next baby girl’s arrival in October but she is still the one you will be chatting with most when booking this summer.
