Spellbound star John Lithgow talked to ComingSoon about his wonderful role as Bolinar in the Skydance Animation musical.
Spellbound star John Lithgow talked about his wonderful role as Bolinar in the Skydance Animation musical and singing a song by Alan Menken. Plus, his thoughts on Conclave and 3rd Rock from the Sun. Directed by Vicky Jenson, the“Spellbound follows the adventures of Ellian, the tenacious young daughter of the rulers of Lumbria, who must go on a daring quest to save her family and kingdom after a mysterious spell transforms her parents into monsters.
That song is a real standout in the film, too. As you mentioned, Menken is just a genius. You’re part of a few other songs, but you are the solo vocalist for this. How crazy was that experience that you got to solo this song? I’ve done a lot of singing on stage, starting when I was in college days. I was actually in eight different Gilbert and Sullivan operettas and John Gay’s The Beggar’s Opera. I ultimately have done two big Broadway musicals. One of them ran for a year and a half, the musical of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. I won a Tony Award for Sweet Smell of Success on Broadway back in 2002 for Best Actor in a Musical.
