Frozen is headed for the stage ! While we don’t know if it’s going straight to Broadway, The Great White Way has the stars perfect for each role.
Anna — Laura Osnes
You know her from: Cinderella, South Pacific, Grease
Hear her sing: "It's Possible" from Cinderella
Laura originated the role of Cinderella in the most recent revival of the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic, so we know she's princess material. She's got a soaring voice, and she's terribly cute running the "Princess Diary" Cinderella backstage vlog for Broadway.com, so playing Anna won't be a challenge.

Elsa — Krysta Rodriguez
You know her from: Smash, The Addams Family, First Date, In The Heights
Hear her sing: "Safer" from First Date
Everyone, be real—Idina is too old to reprise the role. But have you met Krysta? She's a stellar Broadway pro who pulls off rebel-but-likeable, which would make a great foil to Laura. Her fantastic range is more than good enough to belt out "Let It Go" and croon that fan-made reprise of "Do You Wanna Build A Snowman."

Kristoff — Jonathan Groff
You know him from: Frozen, Spring Awakening, Glee, Boss
Hear him sing: "Moving Too Fast" from The Last 5 Years
It's a criminal injustice that all Jonathan got in the movie was "Reindeers Are Better Than People," so he'll return to the role in the stage version with some new songs. Maybe a "Love Is An Open Door" reprise with Anna? Or even a "Reindeers (Remix)" with a chorus of reindeer rockettes, whatever, just let the man SING.

Hans — Kyle Dean Massey
You know him from: Next to Normal, Wicked
Hear him sing: "I'm Alive" from Next to Normal
While Santino Fontana did a great job voicing Hans for the movie, Kyle Dean's got that sinister-prince look down pat; look at that smize! And judging by that scruff, he'll be able to grow those sideburns in no time.
