Orange County Register

Actress/singer Anika Noni Rose, who plays the voice of Princess Tiana in the upcoming film, “The Princess and the Frog,” gave a special performance on the banks of Disneyland’s Rivers of America on Sunday.

Rose was taping a segment for the annual “Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade” TV special, where she performed a musical number inspired by “The Princess and the Frog.”

Donning a bright-orange dress, Rose stood out among the mardi-gras style dancers aboard the Mark Twain Riverboat with the film’s lovable alligator, Louis.  She sang a musical number heard in the film and in the theme park during “Tiana’s Showboat Jubilee!”

Tune in to ABC on Christmas morning to watch the “Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade,” including Rose’s performance.
