Alan Menken Talks New Songs in Beauty and the Beast

New Beauty and the Beast information has been released! Alan Menken chatted with Entertainment Weekly while he was promoting the re-release of Aladdin about the upcoming live action adaptation.

In the interview, Menken revealed that they would not be including any of the Broadway songs in the movie, but instead will be using only the songs from the animated movie, as well as three new songs.

Two of the new songs are called, “Days in the Sun” and “Forever More”. Who sings them and where they come into play in the movie are still being kept quite, but I have faith that they are just as good as the original songs.

The movie is currently being edited and Menken has plans to score it this coming Spring. It will hit theaters in March of 2017!

It is still over a year out and I am dying to see it! Why can’t it come out next year?!?! Ugh!
