Idina Menzel and James Marsden simply thrilled musical-theater-lovers’ hearts in all places with an impromptu duet of “A Whole New World” from “Aladdin” on “The Late Late Show With James Corden.” In a Nov. 17 look, the 2 “Disenchanted” stars mentioned their love of all issues theatrical, and close to the tip of the section, Marsden persuaded Menzel to affix him in a sing-along of the “Aladdin” traditional.
“He’s just a real pain,” Menzel stated of Marsden, “and Amy Adams, too. They were both singing and dancing, even when they said cut.”
“Amy and I were such super fans of Idina that when they would yell cut . . . or in the makeup trailer or whatever, we’d go to Idina and say, ‘Hey, will you sing a song with me?'” Marsden stated, occurring to interrupt out into the start of “A Whole New World.” Menzel shortly joined him, even breaking into concord in the course of the refrain.
Prior to their duet, the pair mentioned their numerous insecurities in the case of musical theater, with Menzel saying she really is not an amazing dancer. “I have to be tutored,” she laughed. Marsden, for his half, shrugged off Menzel’s compliments on his voice and confessed that he hadn’t considered himself as singer as a toddler, although he usually tried to channel numerous musicians like Frank Sinatra. He then went on to do an impression of John Legend’s “All of Me,” totally impressing Corden.
Menzel and Marsden have been selling their upcoming film “Disenchanted,” which has loads of musical numbers of its personal. “It’s 15 years later,” Marsden stated of the “Enchanted” sequel, “and it’s sort of a story of what happens after happily ever after. Maybe the blush has fallen off the rose a bit in our relationships.”
“But not ours,” Menzel stated shortly. Menzel and Marsden’s characters, Nancy Tremaine and Prince Edward, made an unlikely couple in 2007’s “Enchanted.”
Previously, Marsden informed POPSUGAR that Menzel will lastly get her personal music in “Disenchanted.” “The elephant in the room is Idina is in the first movie and doesn’t sing a note,” he stated.
“I was happy to just be hired as an actor [in ‘Enchanted’], not for singing,” Menzel informed us then. “But I’m happy I have a song now.” Marsden replied, “I think everyone will be very, very happy about that.”
“Disenchanted” is now streaming on Disney+.
