Idina Menzel is going to ‘kill it’ at Super Bowl

Phoenix: Comedian Josh Gad is expecting big things when his Frozen co-star Idina Menzel steps up to a microphone on Sunday at the Super Bowl and sings the American national anthem.

“She is going to kill it. Kill it,” Gad said on Friday.

Mendel’s performance of the song Let It Go from Frozen is a huge hit with the film’s younger fans, and certainly familiar to their parents as well. She is a Tony Award winner and performed at last year’s Academy Awards.

“People know who she is now,” Gad said. “And I think people know and anticipate [the performance], and are as equally excited about [seeing] Idina Menzel as they are about [seeing] Katy Perry.”

In addition to seeing his friend perform, Gad said he’s excited for what he expects to be an extraordinary Super Bowl game. “I really do think it’s going to be a close one,” he said. The comedian is rooting for the Seahawks and expects them to win “in a squeaker.”
