“Frozen”’s Kristen Bell and Santino Fontana Reunite for New Duet — Their First Since ‘Love Is an Open Door’

Frozen Stars Kristen Bell and Santino Fontana Reunite for a New Musical Duet

Frozen stars Kristen Bell and Santino Fontana have joined forces once again to perform a new love song from the Off-Broadway musical “All the World’s a Stage.” The dynamic duo presents “Dinner,” a delightful duet crafted by the talented composer Adam Gwon, known for his work on “Ordinary Days.” The theatrical production, “All the World’s a Stage,” is currently running until May 10, offering audiences a fresh perspective on love and relationships.

It’s been an incredible 12 years since the release of the beloved animated film Frozen, and fans have eagerly awaited the reunion of Bell and Fontana. The pair, who lent their voices to Princess Anna and Prince Hans respectively in Frozen, captivated audiences with their memorable duet “Love Is an Open Door.” Now, the duo brings a new dimension to their collaboration with the enchanting song “Dinner” from Adam Gwon’s latest musical.

“Dinner” introduces a realistic approach to romance, focusing on a couple’s initial encounter rather than a fairy tale romance. The musical, directed by Jonathan Silverstein and showcasing at the Keen Company until May 10, delves into the story of Ricky Alleman, a gay high school teacher navigating life in small-town 1990s America. As Ricky’s world intertwines with a student’s aspirations for a theatre competition, the production explores themes of self-discovery and acceptance.

In a heartwarming video shared on social media, Bell and Fontana embody their characters with grace and authenticity. Unlike the whirlwind romance of Anna and Hans, “Dinner” explores the nuances of modern dating, setting aside grand gestures for simple, meaningful moments. Their chemistry shines through as Bell playfully sings, “Trust me before we rent a U-Haul, there’s an appetizer course ‘ Just dinner,” eliciting a light-hearted response from Fontana.

“All the World’s a Stage” is a result of a meticulous three-year process led by Keen Company, underscoring their commitment to intimate musical productions with profound emotional resonance. Composer Adam Gwon expressed gratitude towards Bell and Fontana for their support of the show, highlighting the significance of their involvement in bringing his music to life on stage.

Both Bell and Fontana boast impressive stage careers outside of their roles in Frozen. Bell made her Broadway debut in 2001 and later garnered acclaim for her performances in various productions. Fontana, a seasoned Broadway performer with multiple credits to his name, clinched a Tony Award for his leading role in Tootsie. Their stellar talents and exceptional stage presence promise a captivating rendition of “Dinner” in “All the World’s a Stage.”

Audiences can now secure their tickets to witness the magic of “All the World’s a Stage,” where Bell and Fontana’s exceptional vocal talents will shine once more. As the musical continues to captivate theatregoers with its heartfelt storytelling and evocative melodies, fans can look forward to a memorable performance by these two seasoned performers. Kristen Bell and Santino Fontana’s harmonious partnership in “Dinner” reaffirms their status as accomplished artists, dedicated to bringing captivating stories to life on stage.
