A new stage musical project is in development from songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez.
"I don't think we can say what it is, but we are working on something for the stage and we are really excited," the Frozen songwriters told BroadwayWorld in a recent exclusive interview.
"We're kind of right in the middle of it now and having a lot of fun. It's been way too long. The pandemic happened and, to use a Marvel metaphor, it was kind of like the blip. We were gone from Broadway for years and we didn't mean for it to be this long," they explained.
The most recent stage project from the Lopezes is the stage adaptation of Frozen, which has seen enormous success on Broadway, on tour, and in global markets. The Tony®-nominated Best Musical completed its Broadway run in March 2020 after breaking four house records at The St. James Theatre. The North American tour recently played its final performance on September 1st, 2024 at the Center for the Performing Arts in San Jose, CA.

Using the words enormous success on Broadway is a huge stretch. While the show on tour and around the world has been successful. Say it on Broadway is not.
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Posted: 9/19/24 at 10:18amLike, what is the purpose of this press release? Why are they announcing they're working on a new show and then say absolutely nothing about it? I mean, aren't writers are always working on a new show? Do they want theaters to come to them and be all "we want to produce your mystery show?"

Probably. Theatres or producers. And since they are who they are I'm sure the phone started ringing immediately if that was the aim.

I was thinking they couldn’t say what it was because it was a top secret Disney project, but perhaps not.
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

It's probably Coco, which was announced to be in development over a year ago.

I mean correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't this happen all the time with people saying they're working on a new show? And FWIW the original interview was about Agatha All Along and that was just one tidbit they mentioned in that interview, which BWW decided to make its own article so if anything the "press release" is on the part of BWW

They can't say because it's a huge title and the powers-that-be are not ready to announce its existence yet. It is not an adaptation of Coco or any other Disney animated feature. If they get it right, it will be huge.
