Director Michael Grandage spoke to EW's Marc Snetiker of the unique symbiosis between Murin and Levy, the two leading ladies of Frozen, saying, "‎The camaraderie that's needed between Patti and Caissie onstage is amplified by the fact that those two, in life and in their work, seem to be very genuinely bonded together. They want to present Anna and Elsa in a very beautiful, very meaningful way, and watching that develop in rehearsal has been quite profoundly moving to me."

Performances begin tonight for Frozen's pre-Broadway engagement at the Buell Theatre in the Denver Center for the Performing Arts and continue through October 1, 2017. For information on the Denver engagement visit DenverCenter.org.

Following its out-of-town tryout, Frozen will join Disney hits Aladdin and The Lion King on Broadway, beginning performances at the St. James Theatre on Thursday, February 22, 2018 and opening mid-March 2018.
