Kristen Bell surprised fans in Denver this past week by joining the Savannah Bananas on the field. The actress performed a musical medley during the game against the Indianapolis Clowns, showcasing her vocal range alongside team member and Broadway performer Derek Klena.
The pair sang tracks from Frozen and Wicked before moving into a choreographed routine to the song I've Had The Time of My Life from the film Dirty Dancing. They finished the performance by recreating the iconic lift from the movie, drawing a massive reaction from the crowd.
The Savannah Bananas remain known for their unconventional approach to baseball, which the team calls Banana Ball. These types of performances are a standard feature of their games, and this particular event quickly gained attention across social platforms with millions of views within a single day.
Bell has a long history with performance work, including her role as Anna in the Frozen franchise. She recently appeared at the D23 fan expo to promote the third installment of the series. Derek Klena, who joined the Savannah Bananas as a pitcher, brings his professional stage background to the team, including previous work in the Broadway production of Jagged Little Pill.
