This Thanksgiving, we're totally thankful to be sharing the canned cranberry sauce and a lot of laughs with the writing team behind DISNEY'S Frozen: Bobby Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez! We're pouring out "Butter" chardonnay and Monkey Shoulder scotch while Bobby spills about being popular as a Ghostbuster and his #CroutonMoment, and Kristen chats about THE PARENT TRAP and imagining an A NEW BRAIN amusement park.
We discuss their many amazing achievements, including Frozen, BOOK OF MORMON, IN TRANSIT, and AVENUE Q and the song they wrote on the day their daughter was born. In "What Have You Seen This Week" we rave about Prince of Broadway and the PBS broadcast of FALSETTOS and then Bobby & Kristen talk about riding Everest while writing FINDING NEMO THE MUSICAL.
Game Master Kimberly introduces the game "Bad Career Advice Bears," we play "Plot Points" and then we design a Thanksgiving Feast with Lights of Broadway Show Cards. There's also talk about Kevin's Passion-fueled car wreck, the brilliance of Stephen Schwartz, and the IN TRANSIT joke that made Hillary and Bill Clinton laugh the loudest.
We had a blast with Bobby & Kristen and we can't "Let it Go," so tune in and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
