Alan Menken News & Discussion

[Woodrow Pride]

I'm so exited for Spellbound!! Alan Menken and John Lasseter? What could be better?

[Sotiris]

I wonder what he's working on with Nell Benjamin? I know it wouldn't happen, but I'd love if they were working on Tiana. Any ideas about what it could be, Sotiris, if it's not simply an original project?

It's a stage adaptation of Nancy Drew.

Thank you!

Interesting. It'll be worth checking out anyway.

I've just posted about it in the Hercules Musical thread but I figure not everybody is gonna look into that one. So...

Alan Menken and Thomas Schumacher are in Germany right now for the Hercules premiere. Today, there was a press event to which I was invited. And I'm happy to share the 40 minute panel plus a quick interview roundtable with all of you here:

I'll also have the chance to interview both of them in the next couple of days - so I'm extremely honored and excited!!

Here's my 15 minute interview with Alan that I did a few days ago. I'm posting it here too so that everybody can see it.

We're talking about the new Hercules Musical in Germany obviously, but also the songs, characters, the live action remake and also some other projects. I asked him about his relationship to the Disney Parks, I mentioned that Snow Queen musical show he once did for Tokyo DisneySea (that I had no idea about it...) and more.
Check it out, I think it's a very interesting interview. =)
