Frozen was a $1 billion hit at the worldwide box office, and the fact that a sequel has not yet been made official is shocking to say the least (especially as Disney must be raking it in with merchandise sales).
However, according to Idina Menzel – the actress who voiced Elsa in Frozen – a sequel to the movie is indeed in the works. There have obviously been rumours about a follow-up, but Menzel confirmed that both a feature-length film and a stage musical are on the way by revealing, “That they’re all in the works.”
However, while she’ll return to voice Elsa on the big sceen, Menzel won’t be involved in the theatre production. “Not the stage show,” she confirmed. “I don’t know what will happen with that – but the movie hopefully. We’ll see. I’m just going along for the ride.” With any luck, we’ll get confirmation soon!
“I remember some of those classic Disney songs from movies, and you knew the character but you didn’t know the person behind the song. But this is different, this is weird,” the Broadway star said of her surprise at being approached by youngsters who recognise her from Frozen (which has become a phenomenon).
Does she have any advice for whoever ends up taking on the role of Elsa on the stage? “I can’t give any tips on how to sing Let It Go because I barely can sing it sometimes. It’s really hard. I can’t wake up in the morning and just sing it. I guess my advice is that everyone who likes to sing it should sing it loud and proud and karaoke it out, sing it in the shower, sing it in the car and don’t worry about hitting the high notes.”
