“I never thought I could be a Disney princess. Of course, every little girl wants to be a Disney princess, but I’ve never seen one that looks like me. So, I get to be that to little girls now. And that’s such a huge deal on top of being a producer on Beauty and the Beast, which is crazy. I got to do a lot of the new arrangements and work with Alan Menken, the original arranger, and producer. It’s been an amazing experience just learning so much about myself and it’s been a lot of fun honestly. Being a Disney princess is fun!” – H.E.R. stated excitedly

H.E.R., whose name is Gabriella Wilson, stars as Belle in ABC’s upcoming tribute and explains why she’s not going by her stage name for the project. H.E.R. is the first Black and Filipina woman to play the role of Belle on screen. The talented singer was shocked when she found out she got the role. “It’s a dream come true,” she stated.

“Immediately I was like, I get to wear the yellow dress! I have to wear the yellow dress. That’s going to be the moment. But I was so excited. I got to unlock a new thing within myself and that’s why I say the timing is so great. My inner Disney princess, which I think is this fearless and joyful and just strong and kind of brave thing within myself. It’s been a crazy, wonderful experience.” – H.E.R. stated excitedly

H.E.R. joins a star-studded cast including Shania Twain, Josh Groban, Martin Short, Joshua Henry, David Alan Grier, and Rita Moreno for the television event.
