The Gospel Truth, A Digital Reunion with The Muses from Hercules

The Muses from Disney’s hit film, Hercules reunited for the first time ever in a hilarious and heartwarming interview that commemorates the film’s 24th anniversary!

Fictional is proud to present, The Gospel Truth: A Digital Reunion with The Muses from Hercules. The conversation includes four of the five original Muses: Lillias White, Vanéese Y. Thomas, Cheryl Freeman, and Roz Ryan.

Hercules, which debuted to international audiences in 1997, featured The Muses, five Black female characters that not only narrated the film but were also the premiere voices in the iconic Hercules soundtrack. Fans will remember notable hits like “The Gospel Truth”, “Zero to Hero”, “A Star is Born”, and “I Won’t Say I’m in Love” which was most recently covered by Ariana Grande during the 2020 Disney Family Singalong. Most significantly The Muses were Disney’s first depiction of Black female characters in a feature-length film, twelve years before Disney’s The Princess & The Frog.

The conversation reveals little-known behind-the-scenes stories, including a tale of international superstar & R&B crooner Luther Vandross crashing a recording session to sing backup vocals in the movie. Most importantly it demonstrates the unique personality of each cast member and the friendship and sisterhood they share among one another.

This is a reunion fit for the Gods, and that's the Gospel truth!
