In adapting this movie onto the stage, several major changes had to be made.
The "ensemble" are in most of the songs, performing as the chorus, but also making up the different elements of islanders, water spirits, and ancestors, and island spirits.
Moana no longer has a chicken and pig friend. Instead she has two best friends Pua and Hei Hei!
This song was originally written for the movie, but was ultimately cut. However, it has been added back into the Musical!
In this song, Maui takes Moana into the Lalotai, the Realm of Monsters. As they are fighting monsters, Maui tells Moana that she needs to be brave and put on her "Warrior Face".
Another Recording sung by composer Lin-Manuel Miranda
