Netflix has introduced the real villain of its animated movie Steps. A new clip shows Priscilla, voiced by comedian Nikki Glaser, performing "Meet Me on the Dance Floor," the original song by Rose Gray that is now available to stream. Netflix shared the clip recently. Check out the official post down below:
Priscilla's Big Entrance
The clip opens on Priscilla, with a towering pink hairdo and a wand in hand, making her way down a palace staircase as she sings. Her lyrics include "I've always been the one to shine" and "I'm the best you've ever had," and she calls out, "So let me see your hands" as she takes over the ballroom. The scene ends with Priscilla dancing across the glittering ballroom floor.
Netflix first teased Priscilla in an earlier teaser, where she can be seen smashing the glass slipper.
How Priscilla Takes The Throne
Steps retells Cinderella from the side of her stepsisters. According to Netflix's synopsis, Lilith (Ali Wong) is tired of living in Cinderella's shadow, so she steals the Fairy Godmother's (Bette Midler) magic wand and hijacks the royal ball with her sister Margot (Stephanie Hsu). That dooms the kingdom to the tyrannical rule of Priscilla, who swoops in and snatches the throne.
Lilith then has to team up with Cinderella (Amanda Seyfried) to fight biker trolls, outrun evil henchmen and escape the Screaming Woods. Along the way, the 2 set out to save the kingdom and their relationship.
The voice cast also includes Daniel Radcliffe as the Prince, Young Mazino as the troll Gef, Peter Dinklage as Roderick, a murderous man-nanny, and WWE Superstar Damian Priest as Cracktor. More on the cast and story is in Everything We Know About Steps, Netflix's Animated Movie About Cinderella's Stepsisters.
The Songs Of Steps
"Meet Me on the Dance Floor" is the 2nd song released from the Steps soundtrack, following JENNIE's "Someone to Hold" last week. Rose Gray co-wrote the track with Justin Tranter and Kevin Hickey. The movie has 4 new songs in total:
- "Someone to Hold," performed by JENNIE
- "Meet Me on the Dance Floor," written and performed by Rose Gray
- "Smile and a Song," co-written by Rose Gray and sung by Amanda Seyfried
- "Understudy," performed by EMEI
"Someone to Hold" is JENNIE's first song for an animated film. Kris Bowers composed the score, which was recorded at Abbey Road Studios, and the full soundtrack album arrives on November 20, the same day as the movie.
The Filmmakers And Release Date
Alyce Tzue and John Ripa direct Steps, and Amy Poehler, Jane Hartwell and Kim Lessing produce. Ava Tramer, James Madejski, Jen Chuck, Dana Schwartz and Felicia Ho wrote the screenplay, from a story by Tramer, Madejski, Schwartz, Ho, Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci. Tzue told Netflix the story "is about two very different sisters, one who fits perfectly into this fairy-tale kingdom and one who doesn't, realizing they're more alike than different." She added that she wanted "to create a film for everyone who has ever felt like they didn't belong."
Ripa said the goal was "to break the fairy-tale mold by making every single character three-dimensional and worthy of a happily ever after." Priest said Cracktor is "a show-stealing character," and Midler described her Fairy Godmother as "a little bit of a bumbler" and "a little bit of a schemer."
Steps premieres on Netflix on Friday, November 20, and also gets an awards-qualifying theatrical release the same day. Here is the official trailer:
