Auli'i Cravalho Will Do Aerials On 'The Little Mermaid Live!' Tonight!

Auli’i Cravalho is going to be flying in tonight’s The Little Mermaid Live!

The 18-year-old starlet chatted with USA Today about her favorite tunes from the movie, how she’s been preparing for the role and if she’s heard any word about a Moana sequel. Check it out below!

On wearing the red wig: “About a month ago, I think, I got to try on the wig for the first time, and it was crazy to see myself in the mirror with red hair. Then they put a red kind of dye in my eyebrows. And it made me look like, obviously, a completely different person, but it definitely put me in the headspace of Ariel, and I cannot wait to put on that iconic wig again.”

On getting to do aerials as Ariel: “‘Part of Your World’ is really exciting to me because I get to do some aerial work in that. So Ariel gets to do aerial work, which I think is also the best pun in the world. And I’m really, really excited. I’ve been doing a lot of ab exercises, I’ve been doing a lot of crunches, a lot of planks.

On a Moana sequel: “My lips stay sealed on that, but I’m really excited for whatever Disney’s coming up with.”

The Little Mermaid Live! airs TONIGHT @ 8PM ET/PT on ABC!
