  "account": "On Saturday, August 15, Kristen Bell surprised a Savannah Bananas game against the Indianapolis Clowns by appearing on the field to sing a medley of Broadway hits, including \"For the First Time in Forever\" from Frozen. Accompanied by Broadway star Derek Klena, who plays pitcher for the Bananas, Bell wore a custom Bananas jersey and leopard print cargo pants as she sang and interacted with fans. Klena joined in with the dance moves and even performed parts of \"The Time of My Life\" from Dirty Dancing. The surprise performance was followed by a slow walk back to the actress, who reprised the song with Klena holding hands. This unexpected moment was met with excitement from fans recording the occasion, and the Bananas team captioned the post, \"The mashup we never knew we needed.\"",
