Grace Potter Talks Live-Action 'Tangled,' Hopes for a Broadway Show: 'It Has to Happen' (Exclusive)

Singer-songwriter and musician Grace Potter, who wrote, composed and performed the song "Something That I Want" on the original Tangled soundtrack, addresses whether she is involved with the upcoming live-action Tangled movie and her hopes for a future direction for the story-a Broadway show.

Regarding her potential involvement with the live-action project, Potter shared, "I really wanted to. I did talk with Tom MacDougall at Disney about it, and I think when they go to Broadway, we'll see what happens, because I think that's going to happen. It has to happen. I mean, I've not heard any whisperings of it, but it just feels like that's kind of the obvious next step, and it's been a hot minute since we've had a great Disney Broadway adventure."

"['Something That I Want'] was such a wonderful, it wasn't like a tack on; I mean, there was a plan from the beginning. And I really loved the team and working with everybody on that movie. I would be sad not to have another opportunity, but I think this was not a gimme. This was like a let's see what this reboot does. But I hope it ends up on Broadway, and I hope that I get to. I have dream sequences about this. So the answer is no for now," she continued.

Potter added, "I've never done Broadway. I would love to dive into that world."

Live-action Tangled is already well underway, with many of the leading stars confirmed. Milo Manheim will play heartthrob Flynn Ryder, Teagan Croft will star in the leading role of Rapunzel, Kathryn Hahn is officially playing Mother Gothel (a longtime fan cast) and Star Wars' Andor star Diego Luna was just announced in a mystery role.

Potter also has some exciting projects currently in the works, including her recently announced upcoming album, Trespasser, her newly dropped single "Love Me Not" and her upcoming tour dates with Zac Brown Band. Trespasser will be released on August 21 this summer, and fans can already pre-save the album on their music platform of choice.
