Rachel Zegler, your next live-action Snow White, has officially graced us with a preview of her vocal chops in “Waiting On a Wish”—a song so magical it might just summon woodland creatures to clean your house.
This isn’t just your run-of-the-mill fairy-tale tune. Nope, it’s crafted by the musical wizard duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, aka the guys behind La La Land and The Greatest Showman. (If they keep this up, they’ll be the EGOT-iest EGOT winners of all time.) Their new ballad has all the makings of a Disney classic—enough charm to melt the Evil Queen’s cold heart.
Disney decided to sprinkle some holiday pixie dust by dropping a sneak peek of Rachel singing her heart out on Christmas Day. (Thanks, Mickey, for the festive feels!) Picture it:
🎵 “Waiting on a wish / Holding out for someday…” 🎵
We won’t spoil the rest, but let’s just say it’s pure “I’m-a-Disney-princess-and-I-know-it” gold. Rachel’s voice? A solid mix of ethereal and “Is that a choir of angels I hear?” vibes.
Oh, and if you’ve been living under a rock—or maybe in the Evil Queen’s dungeon—a fresh trailer hit the interwebs recently, showing off more of this glittery, goosebumps-inducing spectacle. The movie stars not just Rachel, but also Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen (yes, Wonder Woman is about to out-sass a princess) and Andrew Burnap as the Prince, who’s probably going to sing, swoon, or swordfight—maybe all three.
Mark your calendars for March 21! The live-action Snow White is coming, and it looks like it’s about to give us all the fairytale feels we didn’t know we needed. Start practicing your “happily ever after” face now.
