Menzel, the voice of Elsa, confirms that a 'Frozen' sequel will soon be happening.
Disney’s Frozen earned nearly $1.3 billion in worldwide box office revenue and ranks as the highest-grossing animated film of all time, so speculation has been rampant over if and when fans can expect a sequel. Idina Menzel, the voice of fan-favorite ice queen Elsa, confirmed in a recent interview with Telegraph that Frozen 2 is in fact “in the works.”
When Telegraph asked Menzel if she can speak on the plethora of rumors circulating about a potential Frozen stage musical or animated sequel, Menzel said, “that they’re all in the works.”
She did not comment on whether or not she will appear in the six-minute Frozen short that will release in cinemas this Christmas, but said that fans should not expect to see her in the Frozen stage musical, regardless of the fact that she first developed a name for herself on Broadway.
“Not the stage show – I don’t know what will happen with that – but the movie hopefully. We’ll see. I’m just going along for the ride.”
Despite being a Broadway veteran and legend, the 43-year-old actress revealed that she still can’t believe how much praise she’s gotten for her performance of “Let It Go,” the most popular song on the Frozen soundtrack, and loves when young girls approach her for being the voice of Elsa.
“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,” she said.
Menzel frequently gets asked for tips from children and adults alike on how to properly sing the critically-acclaimed song written by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, but admits that she barely even knows how she was able to perform it so well for the film.
“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.”
