Disney's Frozen is heading to Broadway!
It has been announced by Disney CEO Bob Iger that Frozen will be heading to Broadway! Frozen has been setting records in the box office and fans all over the world have completely fallen in love with the film. A musical adaptation will no doubt follow in the film's footsteps of success. At this moment there is no timeframe for when the musical will hit Broadway but you can bet that fans will eagerly be awaiting opening night.
""We're not demanding speed," Iger told Fortune. "We're demanding excellence." Frozen, which has already grossed $669 million at the box office, is loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen, and features the voices of Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff, Josh Gad and Santino Fontana. The film tells the story of a spunky princess who sets off on an epic journey alongside a rugged, thrill-seeking mountain man, his loyal pet reindeer, and a magical talking snowman to find her estranged sister, whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom in eternal winter.
The score for Frozen, which is co-written by Avenue Q and The Book of Mormon Tony winner Robert Lopez and his wife Kristen Anderson-Lopez, features a slew of wonderful and unforgettable songs, including "Let It Go," "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?," "Love is an Open Door" and "Fixer Upper." Frozen is only the fourth animated film soundtrack to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Even Beyoncé was no match for the unflappable Frozen."
