“Descendants” Star Praises Kristin Chenoweth as Soundtrack Debuts at No. 1

Disney Channel/Jack Rowand(NEW YORK) — The soundtrack to the new Disney movie, Descendants, topped the Billboard charts this week. Star Wendy Raquel Robinson, who portrays Cruella De Vil in the film, said it’s easy to see why.

“It’s a musical, you know. Kristin Chenoweth is singing and her voice is amazing and the soundtrack is hot,” she gushed to ABC Radio earlier this year. 

Descendants centers on the offspring of some of Disney’s iconic villains such as Jafar from Aladdin, and Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty, played by Chenoweth.

Robinson still can’t believe her luck landing her role. “I’m still like pinch me! Playing such an iconic character that is so over the top, but it was a ball,” she said. “It was so much fun.”
