Bobby & Kristen Lopez to Pen Original Musical Sequence to Be Performed by Neil Patrick Harris at OSCARS

Oscar host Neil Patrick Harris and show producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron shared that the Oscar-winning songwriting team from "Frozen," Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, are in the midst of writing an original multimedia, musical sequence, "Moving Pictures," which Harris will perform on Oscar Sunday, February 22, on ABC.

Harris made the initial announcement on his Twitter account, posting the network's first tweet using its new mobile video camera feature. Check out the announcement below!

"On the heels of the international success of last year's "Frozen" and their Oscar for "Let It Go," we couldn't be happier to have Kristen and Bobby Lopez write an incredibly special song for Neil Patrick Harris and special guests to perform this year on the Oscar stage," said Zadan and Meron. "YouTube get ready!"

"We love the Oscars® and have always been huge Neil Patrick Harris fans, so when he asked us to write him a song for this year's show we said, 'Yes!' before he could finish the sentence - it's possible he may have been asking us for something else," said the Lopezes. "We are having so much fun collaborating, and have even enjoyed weaving our experience as Oscar nominees into the song."

Lopez is an Oscar, Tony®, Emmy®, Grammy® winning songwriter and co-creator of the worldwide smash-hit Broadway musicals "Avenue Q" and "The Book of Mormon." Anderson-Lopez is an Oscar-winning songwriter for film and television, who along with her husband, co-wrote songs for "Frozen" and "Winnie the Pooh." The pair won an Oscar for original song for "Let It Go" from the 2013 Oscar-winning animated film "Frozen," and are currently working on music for the upcoming stage musical "Up Here."

The 87th Oscars will be held on Sunday, February 22, 2015, at the Dolby Theatre® at Hollywood & Highland Center® in Hollywood, and will be televised live on the ABC Television Network at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT. The Oscars, produced by Zadan and Meron, also will be televised live in more than 225 countries and territories worldwide.

"We are happy to announce that Kristen and Robert Lopez have joined our creative fray," announces Harris. "What they're doing I'm not at liberty to say!" He goes on to tease, "they'll be doing something, maybe writing during the show, who knows?"

Now we really can't wait for the OSCARS, airing on ABC on Oscar Sunday, February 22, 2015 at 7e|4p!

Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez are the Oscar-winning married songwriting team behind the sensational Disney animated film, Frozen. Robert has co-conceived and co-written smash-hit musicals Avenue Q and The Book of Mormon, which both earned him Tony Awards. Kristen's show, In Transit, opened off-Broadway in 2010 and earned recognition at the Drama Desk, Drama League and Lucille Lortel awards that year. Lopez and Anderson-Lopez have written for television, film and stage, including the stage version of Finding Nemo, songs for The Wonder Pets (two Emmy award wins) and the Winnie the Pooh animated film.

The husband and wife songwriting team are currently in development on their next project -- a musical titled UP HERE, with ROCKY's Alex Timbers on board to direct. The production is scheduled to make its World Premiere at La Jolla Playhouse in California during the theater's 2015-16 season, though no exact dates have been set.
