Catherine Laga‘aia and Dwayne Johnson in 'Moana'
“Along the Way,” a new original song written by Lin-Manuel Miranda for Disney‘s upcoming Moana live-action film, arrived on Monday (June 15). The song is performed by Catherine Laga‘aia, who portrays Moana in the new film, alongside Dwayne Johnson, who returns as Maui, as well as Auli‘i Cravalho, who voiced Moana in the first two animated films.
“It was such a joy to drop back into the world of Moana again and write ‘Along the Way,’” Miranda said in a press release announcing the news. “Auliʻi and Catherine’s voices blend so beautifully, and writing for Dwayne as Maui is just pure fun. I’m grateful that we were able to create something special for this brand-new version of our wayfinder’s story.”
