Composer Alan Menken has shared a new photo with Lin-Manuel Miranda, teasing the work that the duo are collaborating on for a new song for the upcoming live-action The Little Mermaid feature.
Based on Hans Christian Andersen’s Danish fairy tale, it tells the story of a 16-year-old mermaid princess named Ariel who longs to be human.
Mary Poppins Returns director Rob Marshall will helm the film which features a script by David Magee (Life of Pi, Mary Poppins Returns).
No stranger to musicals, or working for Disney, Marshall was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Director for his feature film debut, Chicago.
