Im hoping to rap, Parrilla told EW ahead of filming the musical episode.
Thats just the Brooklyn girl in me that wants to rap.
I just pitched that idea.

I havent gotten a response.
I am hoping to rap, but its highly unlikely.
While Parrilla was game to lend her voice to the hour, she admits there was some hesitation.
I trained my voice for many years for acting.
Its a very different kind of thing.
Its been 20 years, but its been fun.
As for why the denizens of Storybrooke will be breaking into song, Parrilla teases, Something happens.
I dont think I can really talk about it, but lets just say its not a choice.
It kind of comes upon them.
