Actress and Singer, Halle Bailey, is all set to go undersea as ‘Ariel’ in Disney’s upcoming adaptation of The Little Mermaid. This live-action remake will feature original songs from the 1989 animated film. But it would not be only limited to the oldies. Fresh tunes from the original composer Alan Menken and Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda would fill the movie with their melodies.
