After two years on Broadway, Frozen has recast their leading ladies.

Based on the 2013 animated film, Frozen features music and lyrics by the creators of the film score, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, and a book by Jennifer Lee, the film’s screenwriter and co-director. Michael Grandage directs the show with choreography by Rob Ashford.

Anna, who was previously played by Patti Murin, is now being portrayed by McKenzie Kurt, making this show her Broadway debut. Elsa, previously played by Caissie Levy, is now being portrayed by Ciara Renee. Renee has also portrayed The Witch in Big Fish and the Leading Player in Pippin.

Along with the two princesses, Hans has also been recast to Ryan McCartan. McCartan has also been JD in Heathers, Brad Major in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Diggie on Disney Channel’s Liv and Maddie.

Frozen on Broadway continues its run and tickets are available through their online box office.
