At least until February 17! That’s what Playbill is reporting.

 

This is so exciting! Noah is an amazing Kristoff so I’m excited he’s getting bumped up to principal and a female Olaf is so exciting!!

Good for joe! Big fan of his. Was kind of hoping he would continue with Moulin Rouge, though.

I wonder if Disney did this or if the actors left by choice. Looks like I'll just miss them as I'm seeing this on Feb 9.

A female Olaf? How random. I wonder if she'll "deepen" her voice or just sing normally. I feel like it could confuse the kiddies.

It says that Patti Murin and Caissie Levy will both continue with the production.

I'll be a year next month that the show started previews, so it's about the time the cast starting turning over. I'm sure as with most actors, they want to move onto something new, I can't imagine Disney forcing anyone out that doesn't want to go.

HAHAHA!   Maybe ask Alex Timbers, Chris Gattelli, Betsy Wolfe, etc. etc. about that?

Jelani, John, and Greg have also been with the show since Denver so they've been doing their respective roles for quite some time now.

I would imagine she would sing with her normal voice. It's an animated/talking snowman, so I guess I don't see why there would be any confusion about a female voice.

I'm a fan of Ryann from Bring It On, but is it that big of a deal? (She'll be a puppeteer).... Haven't seen the show, though, so there might be more to the role.
