Whaaa?

The star is set to be in the film which also promises us not only new music from Alan Menken, but a few songs from Lin Manuel Miranda! Of course, the Howard Ashman classics, “Under the Sea”, “Part Of Your World”, and probably “Le Poisson” are still set to be included, but they will be joined by the Moana lyricists incredible work.

The movie is set to be directed by Rob Marshall from a script by Jane Goldman.
