“The last time I really danced as much as I’m required to dance in this, I was in my 20s and now I’m not in my 20s,” Adams explained. “It feels different in your 40s. In my heart, I look like I’m in my 20s when I’m dancing, and then I would watch playback and be like, ‘Whoa, that’s not the same.'”
Additionally, Dempsey and Menzelwill be singing in the new movie, after not having any musical numbers in the first film.
“I’m really excited because these songs, Stephen Schwartz and Alan Menken wrote, the songs are incredible,“Menzel told PEOPLE. “But there’s so much music, and Amy [Adams] singing her butt off, and it’s just Patrick [Dempsey] singing and tap dancing. It’s really glorious and joyful and people are going to love it.”
