Frozen was the second highest-grossing film of 2013 after Iron Man 3, which currently sits in fifth place on the all-time chart. Disney/Marvel Studios' Avengers occupies the third slot. With its continuing success in some international markets, Frozen could potentially continue its climb up the list. The soundtrack for the Idina Menzel and Kristen Bell film has spent ten weeks at the top of the Billboard 200 chart.
During a recent interview with West End Frame, Frozen's directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee revealed that they would love to be involved with a stage adaptation of the film.
Chris Buck said: "I think that would be really fun! I would love to see visually how they would translate what we’ve done on screen onto the stage. Olaf (the snowman) would be a challenge with his head falling off all the time!"
Jennifer Lee: "Why not?! I think there’s so much more you could do musically that we couldn’t do in a ninety minute film. But even in terms of music Christophe Beck and Robert and Kristen were so playful and I am sure they would do a great job! I can’t wait to roll rocks around the stage [laughs]! A new challenge sounds great to me."
