It was just revealed that the hotly anticipated stage adaptation of Disney’s Frozen will play an out-of-town tryout in summer 2017, followed by a Broadway bow in Spring 2018!

Jennifer Lee (co-director and screenwriter of the film) will write the book with Robert & Kristen Anderson-Lopez writing new songs for the show.

The creative team will include director Alex Timbers (Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, Peter & the Starcatcher, Rocky), choreographer Peter Darling (Billy Elliot, Matilda), sound designer Peter Hylenski (Rock of Ages, Motown, Something Rotten!), lighting designer Natasha Katz (Beauty & the Beast, Aida, Once, Aladdin, An American in Paris), and Set & Costume Designer Bob Crowley (Carousel, Aida, Mary Poppins, Once, Aladdin, An American in Paris).

Love Frozen and all. But I wonder what happen to their Hunchback musical, I’ve been listening to music from it and it’s dope as fuck.

^^Hunchback was licensed for regional theater following its Papermill run.

Alex Timbers is a very interesting choice for director. His most inspired work has been the more avant-garde, almost experimental stuff. Unless they change Frozen drastically, it’s not going to fit into that mold. It’ll be a huge hit regardless and I would like to hear an expanded score, since some of the characters weren’t fully musicalized in the film.
