This weekend, “Frozen 2” is set to take over theaters in a big way. To celebrate this major release, James Corden enlisted the help of the film’s cast for a hilarious new rendition of his “Crosswalk the Musical” segment on The Late Late Show. For those unfamiliar, this fun segment involves staging scenes from popular musicals right in the middle of busy city streets. Previously, Corden has brought us his version of “Les Misérables” on the streets of France. However, since Arendelle is a fictional place inspired by Norway, Corden chose to bring characters like Anna, Elsa, and Olaf to the bustling streets of Los Angeles for this comedic twist.
The Performance
On a recent Wednesday night, Corden was joined by Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they navigated the chaotic traffic of L.A. The goal was to reenact some key moments from both the original “Frozen” and its sequel while dodging irritated drivers. While Bell reprised her iconic role as Anna, Corden humorously decided to take on the part of Queen Elsa himself. Menzel wasn’t entirely left out, though; she got the “prestigious” role of Sven the reindeer.
“I’m sure James will do a fantastic job,” Menzel joked, acknowledging all her years of training to perform Elsa’s beloved ballads. “He just bought a blonde wig, so it’s basically the same,” she added with a laugh. Bell also chimed in, saying, “My whole life has led to this moment. I’ve been running into crosswalks and bursting into song since I was a kid!”
Highlights of the Show
The laughs kept coming as the cast belted out familiar tunes while having to dash away from oncoming cars. Corden’s portrayal of Elsa quickly became a highlight, but Bell insisted that Menzel should be the one playing the role and playfully challenged them to a sing-off. Naturally, the real Elsa emerged victorious, leading Corden to don a snowflake costume—an outfit not based on any character, but hey, it works!
Their performances of “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” and “For the First Time in Forever” were simply delightful. The group even included a new song from the sequel, where Corden’s snowflake character tried to steal the spotlight, despite being told he didn’t belong in that number. However, the show-stopping moment came with “Let It Go,” featuring fake snow and Menzel playfully jumping on cars, while enthusiastic commuters joined in the sing-along.
