Menken in a sentence

In their conversation, Menken said that this movie had enough going on without that number.

Miranda teamed up with Menken for four original songs, though he assured listeners on Variety’s Awards Circuit Podcast these new compositions won’t take the place of beloved classics like ‘Kiss the Girl’ and ‘Under the Sea’.

The concept of the romantic Oscar-nominated song — an attempt to encourage Prince Eric to kiss Ariel and break Ursula’s spell — is “a variation on that typical R&B feel, except that Sebastian is conducting an orchestra of natural sounds,” Menken said.

The film, which stars Halle Bailey as Ariel, is a new adaptation of the 1989 Howard Ashman and Alan Menken musical inspired by the original Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, with new music from icon Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Original composer Alan Menken returns to pen the film’s new music, while Lin-Manuel Miranda is slated to provide lyrics.

We know that Alan Menken is teaming up with ’s Lin-Manuel Miranda to write new songs for this version, and that it’s directed by Rob Marshall of … and that’s about it.
