Frozen the musical is happening, and here's who's up for playing the leads.

Idina and Kristen  have both said they would happily play their characters of Elsa and Anna in Frozen the musical on Broadway

Idina Menzel, 42 and Kristen Bell, 33 have both announced that they want to play their characters Elsa and Anna in the Broadway stage musical version of the hit Disney film Frozen.

In January it was confirmed that the award-winning film, based on Hans Christan Andersen’s ‘The Snow Queen’, is already being developed as a musical, though the cast and opening date have not yet been released.

Idina, the voice behind Elsa and the insanely popular song ‘Let It Go’, is keen to hit the stage, though she has admitted to being in two minds about donning blonde hair for the role because she ‘doesn’t look very good as a blonde.’

She recently told Cosmopolitan that she would ‘absolutely’ play Elsa in the Broadway musical of Frozen, adding that playing the ‘animated queen’ was a ‘dream’ come true.

The divorced mother of one went on to say that the stage version is ‘a long time away’ and she’ll see ‘if they still want me then!’

Previously well-known for her portrayal of the Wicked Witch of the West Elphaba in Broadway musical Wicked, it looks like Idina might be set hit the stage again. But Idina told People her son Walker is the centre of her life:

It’s been crazy . . . More people know me. But having a four-year-old keeps me grounded no matter what else is happening.”

Kristen Bell has also revealed that she hopes to play Anna for the stage adaptation of the film, last month telling Variety magazine

“I certainly hope that they try. Everybody in ‘Frozen’ is a Broadway veteran so I certainly hope they try and wrangle us.”

Fingers crossed Idina and Kristen will make their way to Australia for the musical. If it’s anything like Kristen’s live performance below we’ll be heading into another year of Frozen mania.
