And here we have the full performers list. From the looks of things, everything is going to be performed on the show and all but one of the original artists will be doing it. I do not recall Gael Farcia Bernal singing “Remember Me” in the film, nor do I recall Natalia LaFourcade and Miguel, so that appears to be the only change.
