That would be the America Gardens Theater. Right now the Eat to the Beat concert series is going on.

From Wikipedia:

Across from the pavilion is the America Gardens Theatre, an outdoor amphitheater. The America Gardens Theatre hosts concerts, singers, and bands from around the world. Many entertainment acts from around the world perform on this stage. The America Gardens Theatre has hosted huge amount of shows since it was built. Over the years some of the more famous shows include Blast!, Barrage, and many 1960's bands (such as Davy Jones from The Monkees) who bring back the old days each year at the Flower Power concert series, a part of the Epcot Flower and Garden show (held each spring).In 1999 The best of Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance performed in the theater over the summer. Even though dance master Michael Flatley did not perform in the show, it was still a summer hit in Epcot. In 2000 the show was brought back by popular demand for another summer run. Originally the theatre did not have a covered stage but was open air the stage cover (and backstage dressing and show equipment areas) were added during a refurbishment that was completed before the inception of the "Magical World of Barbie" stage show.

* During the holiday season, the theater hosts what is arguably its most popular show, the Candlelight Processional, this show follows in the footsteps of the show first performed in Disneyland in 1958, in 1971 a Florida version began, and it moved to the America Gardens Theatre in Epcot in 1994. This show includes an orchestra and large choral group that perform traditional holiday songs while a guest celebrity retells the biblical story of Christmas. In 2005, some of the celebrities included John Stamos, Marlee Matlin, Haley Joel Osment and Jim Caviezel. The show is usually performed three times daily between Thanksgiving and Christmas week.

There have been many, as you can see above.

The show that I am intersted in finding is the one that featured the main Disney characters (Mickey, Minnie, Goofy etc) and had the song that I have been looking for (Goofy sings the fifty states) Any information would help. Thanks.
