Gospel Truth: Jennifer Hudson Used to Be One of Hercules’ Muses

We absolutely love it when we find out one of our favorite stars used to do something Disney-related. Take Jennifer Hudson for instance. During a recent episode of CBS’ The Late Late Show with James Corden, the star recalled her experience portraying Calliope in Hercules: The Muse-ical on a Disney cruise.

Of course, this isn’t the first time she’s discussed her past. During an interview with W Magazine back in December, she said the following:

I was on a Disney cruise line the year I decided to audition for American Idol. I was Calliope the muse in Hercules: The Muse-ical and I was also the Circle of Life soloist in Disney’s cruise. So yes, that was the last time I was on stage doing theater. And in that show, I narrated the show, I did a lot of singing and we had a lot of choreography, as well. It’s part of how I got Dreamgirls because they took that as an acting credit.
