Month-Long Lab for Disney's FROZEN Stage Musical Begins Today in New York City

As per a casting notice previously posted on BWW, a month-long lab for Disney's highly-anticipated stage adaptation of FROZEN begins today in New York City and will continue through Friday, November 18th. Featuring a full cast, the lab will allow the creative team to test out elements of the show, including several new songs.

As BWW previously reported, FROZEN will play its out-of-town tryout at the Buell Theatre in the Denver Center for the Performing Arts in August 2017 before joining the Disney hits Aladdin and The Lion King on Broadway.

Tony and Olivier Award-winning director Michael Grandage and Tony and Olivier Award-winning scenic and costume designer Christopher Oram are confirmed for the creative team of FROZEN. The new musical based on Disney's Academy Award-winning musical film, is slated to open at Broadway's St. James Theatre in spring 2018.

The show features music and lyrics by the creators of the film score Kristen Anderson-Lopez (In Transit, Up Here) and EGOT-winner Robert Lopez (Avenue Q, The Book of Mormon, Up Here) and a book by Jennifer Lee (Wreck-It Ralph), the film's screenwriter and director (with Chris Buck). Frozen won 2014 Oscars for Best Song ("Let It Go") and Best Animated Feature.
