This year's Children's Theatre season has been one of the biggest ever, having, for the first time, brought a Disney production to the Way Off Broadway stage with Disney's 101 Dalmatians at the beginning of the year and a regional theatre premiere of Dora the Explorer Live! Dora's Pirate Adventure this past fall. Rounding out the 2011 Children's Theatre Season will be, what is considered to be, the most popular show in Way Off Broadway's Children's Theatre collection, Frosty.
That's right. He's back! The original ice man himself. It's cold outside and Frosty is back with more fun and more songs in this popular Way Off Broadway original. Watch how a classroom full of children handle a magical snowman coming to life before their eyes. It will be fun for the whole family as Frosty and his musical escapades return to WOB for the holidays.
Frosty was the first Christmas show
The Children's Theatre ever produced when Way Off Broadway first began offering children's shows in 1996. This season's revival of the show will be its sixth staging at the popular family venue. To this day, it sells out quicker than any other Children's Theatre production and is the most requested by audiences.
The cast of this season's Frosty includes
Tara Forseth as Kathy,
Trey T. Kiska as Patrick,
Jordan B. Stocksdale as Tommy, with
Jeremy Trammelle appearing as Mr. Primly and
Bill Kiska as Frosty the Snowman.
Frosty was adapted for the stage and is directed by
Susan Thornton with music by Cathie Porter-Borden and lyrics by Leon Borden.
Frosty runs from November 12 - December 27, 2011, with performances every Saturday afternoon and matinees on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month, as well as special added performances for the holiday season. Specific show dates and time may be found by visiting the theatre's website at

The Children's Theatre's 2011 Season ends with Frosty on December 27th, followed by the opening of the 2012 Season on January 21st with the premiere of Pinkalicious.
