The month of November has delighted fans of Disney's Frozen with the 10-year anniversary of the original film, cast reunions, and the announcement of two new films being added to the franchise.

For the latest event, co-stars and fellow stage veterans Idina Menzel and Josh Gad reunited on stage during Broadway's Gutenberg! The Musical! Sunday.  

“This show is so great, I don’t wanna hear another note,” Menzel gushed. The Wicked star then belted out her signature final notes from “Defying Gravity,” sending the audience into an uproar of applause. 

“Okay, well, I am a famous Broadway producer,” Menzel said in character. “And a Tony winner, and a Disney queen,” she added, slyly referring to her own career achievements.

“And so on behalf of everyone at Adele Dazeem Productions, I hold in my hands a Broadway contract!” she joked, alluding to the infamous Oscars slip-up by John Travolta. (See the video here.)

Gutenberg! Is a musical two-man comedy starring Gad and Andrew Rannells as Bud and Doug, aspiring playwrights whose dreams are fulfilled with the help of a “famous Broadway producer,” played by a variety of different household names who surprise audience members toward the end of the show. 

Previous guest stars include Ben Platt, Busy Philipps, Christian Slater, Cynthia Erivo, Dylan Mulvaney, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, John Stamos, Jonathan Groff, Josh Groban, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Marcia Gay Harden, Nathan Lane and Vanessa Williams

The Messenger previously reported and shared exclusive photos when another Frozen cast member, Kristen Bell, played the role on Nov. 3.

Bell shared photos to Instagram on Sunday to celebrate 10 years since she attended the premiere of Frozen, which broke box-office records when it debuted on Nov. 27, 2013.

She called the event “A night that changed my life and solidified a forever family I adore.”

Bell starred in the Academy Award-winning animation as Princess Anna, the spirited sister of Menzel’s Queen Elsa. Both actresses reprised their roles in 2019’s Frozen 2, along with Gad, who played their beloved snowman Olaf, and Jonathan Groff as Anna’s unexpected love interest Kristoff. 

No casting news or story details has been released in regards to the two additional Frozen films that Disney CEO Bob Iger announced Thursday, but both Menzel and Bell have hinted at their involvement.
