Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda will collaborate with veteran Disney composer Alan Menken, who scored the original film, to write new music for the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, according to Entertainment Weekly.
“For the live-action Little Mermaid, I’m writing additional songs with lyrics by Hamilton and Moana songwriter Lin-Manuel Miranda,” Menken announced at the D23 Expo over the weekend.
EW notes that the Broadway sensation is quickly becoming a fixture at Disney. In addition to signing on for The Little Mermaid and co-writing the score for Moana, he recently announced he’d be making an on-screen appearance alongside Emily Blunt as a co-lead in the forthcoming Mary Poppins Returns.
