Behind the Scenes of 'Frozen'_ by [Marc Snetiker / Entertainment Weekly](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Marc Snetiker / Entertainment Weekly Feb 9, 2016 11:17 PM UTC  Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures by [Marc Snetiker / Entertainment Weekly](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Marc Snetiker / Entertainment Weekly Feb 9, 2016 11:17 PM UTC It’ll be two more winters before Broadway gets _Frozen_. The new stage musical adaptation of Disney’s blockbuster movie _Frozen_ has set a loose date for its arrival on Broadway: spring 2018, at a theater to be announced. However, the Disney Theatrical Productions mounting will play an out-of-town tryout before Broadway in the summer of 2017 at a theater (and in a town) to be announced. Wunderkind director Alex Timbers (_Peter and the Starcatcher_, _Mozart in the Jungle_) has been tapped to direct the musical, as was [rumored](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/02/13/frozen-musical-enlists-red-hot-director-stage-adaptation) a year ago. Tony winner Peter Darling, who has crafted choreography for shows like _Billy Elliot_ and _Matilda_, will choreograph _Frozen_. As previously announced, the 2013 film’s award-winning composers Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez (who became an [EGOT winner](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%5Fof%5Fpeople%5Fwho%5Fhave%5Fwon%5FAcademy,%5FEmmy,%5FGrammy,%5Fand%5FTony%5FAwards) thanks to _Frozen_) are at work on music and lyrics for a beefed-up score of the show, which will no doubt include the stage magic-demanding showstopper, “Let It Go.” The film’s screenwriter and co-director Jennifer Lee will write the book for the adaptation. The creative team will include frequent Disney stage collaborator and seven-time Tony winner Bob Crowley (_Mary Poppins_, _Aladdin_) as scenic and costume designer, five-time Tony winner Natasha Katz on lighting, and Peter Hylenski on sound. The score is in the hands of master orchestrator Stephen Oremus (_Avenue Q, Wicked, The Book of Mormon_), who serves as music director. [A sequel](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/03/12/frozen-sequel-coming-says-disney) to the [highest-grossing animated film of all time](http://www.ew.com/article/2014/03/30/frozen-highest-grossing-animated-film) was[confirmed by Disney in March 2015](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/03/12/frozen-sequel-coming-says-disney). Though no timeline was announced, winter 2017 sure sounds like the perfect time to skate_Frozen 2_ to theaters. Disney also announced a [_Frozen_ holiday special](https://twitter.com/DisneyD23/status/697183204566921216)for ABC in 2017. Casting, dates, a Broadway theatre, and what Idina Menzel thinks will be announced at a future date. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2016/02/09/frozen-musical-broadway) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://ew.com) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4214744/disneys-frozen-broadway-date/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4214744/disneys-frozen-broadway-date/"},"headline":"Disney's Frozen Will Hit Broadway in Spring 2018","datePublished":"2016-02-09T23:17:33.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:56:19.015Z","description":"Anna, Elsa and the gang will take the big apple by storm","url":"https://time.com/4214744/disneys-frozen-broadway-date/","keywords":["movies","broadway","Frozen","Disney","Theater","Musical"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte0a7673165f38ae2/69887cd8a988ca10976b6842/frozen-still-2.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Marc Snetiker / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte0a7673165f38ae2/69887cd8a988ca10976b6842/frozen-still-2.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"frozen-still-2","caption":"","creditText":"Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4214744/disneys-frozen-broadway-date/","name":"Disney's Frozen Will Hit Broadway in Spring 2018"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Behind the Scenes of 'Frozen'","description":"Behind the Scenes of 'Frozen'","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/6r4nuWBx/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2013-12-30T19:29:31.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/6r4nuWBx.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4214744/disneys-frozen-broadway-date/","duration":"PT9M58S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4214744/disneys-frozen-broadway-date/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
