The Muny announced today that John Tartaglia will be stepping into the role of Oaken in their currently running production of Disney’s Frozen. He will be replacing the injured Mark Saunders immediately. He directed this production of Disney’s Frozen, and critics have praised his work calling his storytelling “touching and moving.”

The Muny’s Frozen is filled with endearing performances, gasp-inducing stagecraft, beautiful musical direction by Darryl Archibald, and loveable puppets created by Puppet Kitchen’s Eric Wright. But it's not the many wow moments that make Frozen special. Frozen is touching because of John Tartaglia’s moving storytelling that takes the audience on a journey beyond Arendelle to explore a sister’s love and the basic need for human connection.

You can now get a first look at production photos of Frozen at The Muny, starring Hannah Corneau as Elsa, and Patti Murin reprising her role as Princess Anna.

Next week when The Muny premiere of Disney’s Frozen opens in St. Louis audiences will be in for a rare treat. Broadway’s original Anna, actor Patti Murin, will reprise her role as the plucky princess. Murin is really excited about opening night, getting to see all the children in the audience, and sharing this grand vision of Disney’s Frozen with thousands of people. “This production is going to be larger-than-life. It is the same story, but this enormous space will be filled on a scale that could not be done at a different theater.” She beamed, “It is going to be fun!”
