Auliʻi Cravalho on Lulu Is a Rhinoceros, Cabaret, and Life After Moana

Auliʻi Cravalho (best known as the voice of Moana) returns to the mic in Lulu Is a Rhinoceros, a new Apple TV+animated musical that asks, “What if identity was more than skin — or fur — deep?” Voicing a dog who sees a rhinoceros when they look in the mirror, Cravalho uses this children’s story to navigate themes of gender identity, kindness, and self-acceptance, and talks with Kyle Meredith all about it. Listen now.Cravalho is also coming off a run in Cabaret starring alongside Adam Lambert, because apparently it’s not enough to voice a Disney icon — you’ve also got to tackle fascism eight shows a week. She talks about her love for roles that challenge her, her not-so-secret desire to play a villain, and how Lulu offers a chance to speak directly to the younger version of herself. Spoiler: she’s also plotting to take over behind the camera as a producer, director, and general artistic overlord.Listen to Auliʻi Cravalho chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Our Sponsors:* Check out Effecty and use my code KMW for a great deal: https://www.effecty.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
