Listen: Kristen Bell Says She Wants to Star in FROZEN on Broadway!

Kristen Bell stopped by EW Radio to talk about John Travolta's flub at the Oscars and how she wants to join the cast of the upcoming FROZEN stage adaptation on Broadway -- as Anna, of course. Listen to the interview below!

Disney's animated movie musical mega-hit FROZEN is aiming for the Broadway stage, reportedly featuring some song sequences that did not make it into the final film, as well as some additional material.

As BroadwayWorld previously reported, Walt Disney Co. Chief Bob Iger recently revealed plans to expand FROZEN's icy universe, including a Broadway adaptation, a possible sequel to the film, elements from the movie in Disney's theme parks, potential video games and more.

FROZEN recently won the Oscars for Best Original Song and Best Animated Feature, as well as four 2014 Annie Awards, the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature Film, and the ACE Eddie Award for Best Edited Animated Feature.

About Disney's FROZEN: Walt Disney Animation Studios, the studio behind "Tangled" and "Wreck-It Ralph," presents "Frozen," a stunning big-screen comedyadventure. Fearless optimist Anna (voice of Kristen Bell) sets off on an epic journey-teaming up with rugged mountain man Kristoff (voice of Jonathan Groff) and his loyal reindeer Sven-to find her sister Elsa (voice of Idina Menzel), whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in eternal winter. Encountering Everest-like conditions, mystical trolls and a hilarious snowman named Olaf, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom.
