Idina Menzel has been tapped to perform the U.S. National Anthem at Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game on July 15, 2014.
Menzel, who voiced the character Elsa in last winter’s hit Frozen and is currently starring on Broadway in If/Then, will also be performing during the pre-game ceremony. MLB announced that Menzel will be singing Bob Dylan’s “Forever Young” during the ceremony to honor “All-Star Teachers.”
“The program celebrates remarkable current and retired teachers who make an impact on the lives of their students and communities,” reads the description of the ceremony.
Menzel made a name for herself as a member of the original cast of Rent, playing Maureen, a role she went on to play in the feature film adaptation. Menzel also won a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her performance as Elphaba in Wicked.
Menzel is not the only performer participating in the MLB’s big game. Aloe Blacc, Panic! At the Disco and Imagine Dragons will all be performing as part of MLB All-Star Week, among others.
The All-Star Game will air Tuesday, July 15 on FOX.
