The Broadway favorite, who voiced the role of Elsa in the hit Disney film Frozen, will guide the top 10 finalists through a Disney-themed night, according to Variety. Whether Menzel will perform her Frozen anthem, "Let It Go," has not been announced.
The current reboot of American Idol features judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry, and Lionel Richie.
Menzel won her Tony Award for her performance in Wicked. She will return to the New York stage this spring in the Roundabout Theatre Company production of Joshua Harmon’s Skintight (a play, not a musical) Off-Broadway.
