” — as a villain was exciting news, if not completely surprising. Rudolph has always had an eye — or more accurately an ear — for how music and comedy can combine. Speaking with, Rudolph described the link between the two disciplines as having some “magical quality” that work in tandem more often than not.
When it comes down to it, Rudolph continues, music and comedy are “kind of the same language, weirdly. They’re both things that, when they’re done well, they can’t really be taught. You’re either good at them or you’re not.” Well, I’ve known Adam [Shankman], the director, for a long time, and Amy too, actually. He reached out and he just had this very, cat-got-the-canary look in his eye like he knew that what he was going to tell me was gonna be good, this is gonna be really fun. It’s nice to be in a place work-wise where I feel like I can finally allow what I’ve done to speak for itself so I don’t have to explain who I am or what I do to the world.
“Disenchanted” is the epitome of what it feels like to be in a school play. You know you’re gonna have fun. Sometimes when I’m working on something I love, I kind of pinch yourself and go, “oh right,is why I want to do this.” Just this giddy feeling of putting on a show together, it’s the best possible feeling.The answer plain and simple is, I think I have.
