"I thought it was the greatest idea when I heard it," said the Encore! host. "Musical theatre was something that meant a lot to me in high school.
She went on to discuss the age ranges of the cast; "We have casts who are millennials, and we have casts that are baby boomers and haven't seen each other in 45 years".
What is Encore! about?
Disney's Encore! sees several adults return to their high school, to recreate a musical they originally performed at school. However, this time Broadway talent - including directors and choreographers - are helping with the production.
Kristen Bell said "We take former high school musical casts, and we reunite them to put on their show in six days.
"It's funny. It's got a lot of tender moments, because you're able to reintroduce yourself to someone you already know, having shed the labels of high school," she continued.
