Tickets for Disney’s “Moana” are now on sale.
The film stars Catherine Lagaʻaia as the determined wayfinder Moana and Dwayne Johnson, who reprises his role as the trickster demigod Maui.
Joining the cast of Pacific talent is Jemaine Clement, who reprises his role as the voice of the giant, glitz-obsessed crab Tamatoa – the same character he voiced in the animated version of “Moana.”
Clement joins the previously announced ensemble which includes Lagaʻaia as Moana; Johnson as Maui; Rena Owen as Moana’s revered Gramma Tala; John Tui as Moana’s no-nonsense father, Chief Tui; and Frankie Adams as Moana’s playful and strong-willed mother, Sina.
In “Moana,” Disney’s live-action reimagining of the beloved Oscar-nominated animated adventure, Moana answers the Ocean’s call and, for the first time, voyages beyond the reef of her island of Motunui with the infamous demigod Maui on an unforgettable journey to restore prosperity to her people.
The film is directed by Thomas Kail (“Hamilton”) and produced by Dwayne Johnson
“Moana” features original songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Opetaia Foaʻi and Mark Mancina, and an original score composed by Mancina and releses in theaters July 10.
