Josh Gad is pretty sure he's not going to head to Broadway to reprise his popular role as Olaf the Snowman in the planned stage production.

Gad says his other projects, such as The Wedding Ringer, a film with Kevin Hart, make it nearly impossible, schedule-wise.

"I think I have a busy enough slate ahead of me without considering the ramifications of putting a snowman outfit on and traipsing across a Broadway stage," Gad tells USA TODAY. "At this time, I don't necessarily have an expectation that I will be playing Olaf on Broadway. "

"That's not to say the door is absolutely closed," he adds. "But there's so much in front of me right now."

Disney is in the early stages of putting the stage production together. The film's director, Jennifer Lee, has said it was her "dream" to see Gad as Olaf on the stage. Idina Menzel said previously she would "absolutely" want to play the part of the princess Elsa in the production.

Gad, who received a Tony nomination for The Book of Mormon in 2011, did wish the Frozen production well. "I am so excited for whatever that's going to be. And I am definitely eager to see it and support it in any way."

Gad is also enjoying watching Frozen, which has made $1.3 billion in worldwide sales, continue to perform well at the box office. In Japan, for example, the film still rules at the top of the box office.

"There's an unbelievable universality to the subject matter," says Gad. "The themes in the movie really hit home in a place like Japan in the same way it has struck a chord across the world. And people love the music."
