Frozen is currently in previews at the St. James Theatre, but already fans continue to get a taste of the new songs added to the musical by composers Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez.

Iconotheatrix will present their production of Avenue Q- School Edition March 22-31, 2018 at Obsidian Theater. Winner of the Tony 'Triple Crown' for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, Avenue Q- School Edition is part flesh, part felt and packed with heart. The laugh-out-loud musical tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named Princeton, who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. He soon discovers that, although the residents seem nice, it's clear that this is not your ordinary neighborhood. Together, Princeton and his new-found friends struggle to find jobs, dates and their ever-elusive purpose in life. Filled with gut-busting humor and a delightfully catchy score, not to mention puppets, Avenue Q- School Edition is a truly unique show that has quickly become a favorite for audiences everywhere.

It's been a few weeks since the new Frozen song 'Monster' was released, but the song is still wowing listeners.

Juwan Crawley (Aladdin), Kara Lindsay (Newsies), Jelani Remy (The Lion King), and Kathryn Allison (Aladdin) reacted to the new song as the new musical moves through previews. Check out their enthusiastic responses to the Elsa power ballad !
