Conan O’Brien asked the _Into The Woods_ star about her multiple musical roles when she appeared on his late show Wednesday night. Kendrick, who has a number of past and forthcoming film roles involving musical numbers, told the comedian she’s a big fan of singing. “I love it so much,” she said. “\[It\] is near and dear to my heart.” In fact, the 29-year-old actor is so keen on singing that when O’Brien asked her how she’d feel about living life as a musical, she readily joined him in song. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3706652/conan-obrien-anna-kendrick/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3706652/conan-obrien-anna-kendrick/"},"headline":"Watch Conan O'Brien and Anna Kendrick Imagine Life as a Musical","datePublished":"2015-02-12T10:34:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T04:21:40.625Z","description":"The star of Into The Woods and Pitch Perfect gave the late-night host a taste of what the singing life is all about","url":"https://time.com/3706652/conan-obrien-anna-kendrick/","keywords":["Televison","Late Night","Anna Kendrick","Conan O'brien"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8800ff2de49d792c/69877ee455a85902b6a85c81/conan-anna-kendrick.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8800ff2de49d792c/69877ee455a85902b6a85c81/conan-anna-kendrick.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"conan anna kendrick","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/televison/","name":"Televison"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3706652/conan-obrien-anna-kendrick/","name":"Watch Conan O'Brien and Anna Kendrick Imagine Life as a Musical"}}]}] ```
