Zachary Levi is back on Broadway in She Loves Me. The former First Date star is perhaps best known for leading role in NBC’s Chuck and as the voice of Flynn Rider in Tangled. Recently, Levi opened up about the all new Tangled Disney Channel series and his musical ambitions.
Recently, Zachary Levi spoke with DA MAN about his voice over role in Disney’s Tangled and how he handled the pressure of singing as a Disney Prince:
“I suppose the same as I would prepare any other song. The major difference being that we recorded with what was maybe a 40-piece orchestra, which was just amazing. That doesn’t happen every day.”
Levi will be returning to the role of Rapunzel’s Prince, Flynn Rider, in the new animated Disney series:
“The series will take place, chronologically, between the end of the film and the beginning of the short that was made a year later called ‘Tangled Ever After,’ which was essentially Flynn & Rapunzel’s wedding day...The series will play in the same space and tone as the film, so it should be something that both kids and adults can enjoy.”
DA MAN went on to ask Levi about his duet with Katharine McPhee and if it will lead him to do more singing:
“That’s the hope. I really love singing, hence the previous recording I’ve done, as well as the musicals I’ve been a part of. An album has been a back-burner goal for many years, and I am trying to move this to a front burner sooner rather than later.”
