Kristen Bell is sharing her love for musical theater with her older daughter.

As a guest on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Tuesday, Sept. 24, the Nobody Wants This actress, 44, shared that she and her older daughter Lincoln recently took a mother-daughter trip to New York City for the 11-year-old's "first weekend of Broadway shows."

"We bought tickets to four. We ended up going to three. We got a little tired on Sunday night," the proud mom explains.

She adds, "We were raging. We were just running from theater to theater."

When Meyers asks who picked which four shows to see, Bell says, "She picked all four," referring to Lincoln. "That's what you gotta do when it's the kid's first weekend I think."

The mother-daughter duo saw The Great Gatsby, Six, and MJ: The Musical, but, "We did skip Wicked because we got too tired," Bell says. "But the whole weekend was beautiful. We spent it just singing to each other."

The actress then explains that out of her family of four, she and Lincoln love musical theater, while her husband Dax Shepard and their younger daughter Delta, 9, are not fans.

"Here's the thing," she tells Meyers. "She has been bitten by the musical theater bug, as I was at a very young age. You either gravitated toward that or you don't." When it comes to Shepard and Delta, Bell says they're "definitely not musical theater people."

"So we're constantly playing, you know, the Miss Saigon soundtrack and my other daughter and Dax are like, 'Turn it off! We're not dorks!' she adds, reenacting them covering their ears. "So we were really happy to get away and just be free in the musical theater community."
