Listen: Kristen Anderson-Lopez Shares Original Verse of 'Snowman' from FROZEN
By: BWW News Desk Sep. 02, 2016
Oscar-winning FROZEN songwriter Kristen Anderson-Lopez promised fans on Twitter today that if she got to 7,000 followers, she would share the original first verse to "Snowman" from the movie musical, as performed by her 2-year-old daughter. To no surprise, FROZEN fans made the deadline!
To set up the clip, Kristen revealed:
So, a little setup- we wrote Anna at 3 ages. We thought our almost 3 year old would do verse 1, our 7 yr old verse 2, @IMKristenBell vs 3.

The lyrics are slightly different - ". . we could play out in the orchard , build a snowy fort, whatever you wanna dooooooo"

"Do you wanna build a snowman, cause I wanna build a snowman (beat) with you. . "

But the almost 3 yr old was more interested in eating nilla wafers than recording

So this is the first demo attempt in 2012 before we moved our 7 yr old to first vs and Agatha (jenn lee's daughter) to 2nd verse.

What do you think? Do you like the original or the final version, or both?
As previously announced, the new FROZEN stage musical is scheduled for a pre-Broadway run at Denver Center for the Performing Arts in the summer 2017, ahead of a spring 2018 opening on Broadway.
The hit film's creator Jennifer Lee will pen the book for the show while Kristen Anderson-Lopezand Robert Lopez, who received Oscars for the film's hit song "Let It Go," will compose the show's full score. Bob Crowley (set and costume design), Natasha Katz (lighting design), Peter Hylenski (sound design) and Stephen Oremus (musical director) will round out the creative team. Stephen Daldry is in talks to direct.
Another stage version of FROZEN will set sail on Disney Cruise Line this fall, and the highly anticipated film sequel is underway!
