The _Pitch Perfect_ star stopped by Thursday night’s episode of [_The Late Show_](http://time.com/4217147/bernie-sanders-stephen-colbert-the-late-show/)to chat about her obsession with _Lord of the Rings_ and her love for musical theater — two interests the host happens to share. **Read More:** [Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson Will Be Back for _Pitch Perfect 3_](http://time.com/3922103/anna-kendrick-rebel-wilson-pitch-perfect-3/) After discussing which Middle Earth characters they identify with and their past work with famed composer Stephen Sondheim (Kendrick on _Out of the Woods_ and Colbert on a production of _Company_), Colbert convinces his guest to sing a duet with him. The pair then proceeds to stare deeply into each other’s eyes and belt out a pretty amazing rendition of “Falling in Love Is Wonderful” from _Annie Get Your Gun_.
