RTÉ lyric fm's Aedín Gormley marks the release of Disney's live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid this Friday with a chat with director Rob Marshall.
This fresh take on the classic tale stars Halle Bailey and Melissa McCarthy and features newly composed songs by Broadway legends Alan Menken, who has teamed up with Hamilton's Lin-Manuel Miranda to add new tunes to the movie fleshing out mermaid Ariel's story as she swaps her fins for feet.
Aedín talked to director Rob Marshall about what attracted him to this project, the incredible songs and the importance of the rehearsal process for him.
Aedín Gormley presents Movies and Musicals on RTÉ lyric fm on Saturdays from 1pm, and Aedin in the Afternoon on Fridays from 1pm - listen back here.
