The eighth week of Dancing with the Stars featured a Disney Night theme celebrating Disney on Broadway. The eight remaining couples performed routines inspired by popular musicals, with Tony Award-winning actress Cynthia Erivo joining the judges as a guest judge. Each couple performed an individual dance and participated in a group dance for additional points.

Two couples earned perfect scores of 40 out of 40 for their individual performances. Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson performed a jazz routine to "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" from Mary Poppins, while Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy performed a quickstep to "Be Our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast.

The group dances also brought strong performances, with Team Wildcats earning a perfect score of 40 for their routine to "We're All in This Together" from High School Musical. Despite the high scores and positive reactions from the judges, the night ended with an emotional elimination.

Actress Julia Stiles and her professional dance partner Ezra Sosa were eliminated from the competition. Their departure left seven couples remaining as the competition continues toward the finale.
