Can you believe it's been just a little over eight years since the iconic Once Upon a Time musical episode? I certainly cannot! The ABC modern fairytale series ran for seven seasons and given its connection to fairytales and Disney, fans had been waiting for so long for a musical episode. The creatives finally gave us one, which lead to some fear for one of the actors.
Ginnifer Goodwin was nervous about the Once Upon a Time musical episode
Promoting the animated film Zootopia 2 at the Disney Upfronts, Snow White herself, Ginnifer Goodwin, was on hand to talk about her upcoming movie as well as the OUAT musical milestone. The actress spoke with TVLine about reaching the eight-year mark, which is "bonkers" to her. Same, girl. She also shared that she was so nervous about having her own musical number. Here's what she told the news outlet:
"I was terrified to sing. I mean I sing at home, but in front of people is a whole other thing. So it was a big deal for me to not go running."
Goodwin and her real-life husband Josh Dallas (check out my interview with the true Prince Charming on our sister site, here), who played her fairytale husband Prince Charming on the show, had an epic duet in "Powerful Magic." The episode was season 6 episode 20, titled "The Song in Your Heart" and first premiered on May 7, 2017 on ABC. Seriously, where does the time go?
I mean, I'm surprised she was so nervous. She clearly has a wonderful voice. Honestly, the whole OUAT cast are so talented and they all sounded amazing! Though even if you're good, that doesn't mean that you're confident in your abilities sometimes. So we can't blame the actress for her nerves. Especially since this episode is one fans were very excited about and waiting for, there was that added pressure as well.
Goodwin and Dallas tied the knot in April 2014, and they have two children, Oliver and Hugo. They're a true real-life fairytale couple that still give us all the feels. The news outlet's Matt Webb Mitovich also mentioned how Charming's entrance still makes him laugh, and Goodwin responded with "I mean it's appropriate because his voice is gorgeous." Yes, it absolutely is!
Also recently, Goodwin has shared that she'd be open to coming back to reprise her role as Disney's Snow White in a Once Upon a Time reboot. Her co-star and onscreen daughter Jennifer Morrison who played Emma Swan shared a bit of the opposite. She said she'd support a reboot, but thinks it should be with a new cast as the series has already explored everything with their version of the characters.
Honestly as hardcore fan of the show, it would be amazing to see the OUAT cast together again. Though I don't think a whole revival is necessary. And I definitely would not want one with an all-new cast. We all saw the disaster of season 7. Sorry not sorry. Though I would be open to a reunion movie, and I think that wouldn't be too much of a commitment for the cast members where it would make everyone happy. Let's make it happen!
All seven seasons of Once Upon a Time are streaming on Hulu and Disney+.
