Disney Creative Entertainment, the arm of Walt Disney Imagineering responsible for live theatrical entertainment at Disney Parks, is producing "Frozen - Live at the Hyperion" with all of the creativity and resources of its predecessor "Aladdin - A Musical Spectacular" which ran for a remarkable 13 years, with a total of 14,000 performances to 13 million park guests at the Hyperion Theater.

The 1,873-seat Hyperion is equipped with a backstage facility to support a production of the kind that plays in any venue of that size in the world, as well as the full creativity of Walt DisneyImagineering.

"Frozen - Live at the Hyperion" is based on the Walt Disney Animation Studios' film "Frozen," which is the No. 1 animated feature of all time and among the most critically acclaimed animated films. It is the winner of two Academy Awards (2014), for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song.

The new musical features music and lyrics by the creators of the film score, Kristen Anderson-Lopez ("In Transit," "Up Here") and Robert Lopez ("Avenue Q," "The Book of Mormon," "Up Here"), and is adapted from the screenplay by four-time Tony nominee Chad Beguelin("Aladdin - A Musical Spectacular" at Hyperion Theater; Broadway: "Gotta Dance," "Aladdin," "The Wedding Singer," "Elf").

"Frozen - Live at the Hyperion" is directed by Liesl Tommy, who is currently represented on Broadway with "Eclipsed," starring Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong'o. The choreographer is Christopher Windom and this is his seventh collaboration with Tommy. The musical supervisor/arranger/adaptor is Jason Michael Webb, whose Broadway credits include "The Color Purple," "Motown: The Musical," "Violet," and "Memphis."

An entirely separate Broadway production of "Frozen" is currently being prepared by Disney Theatrical Productions and is slated to join Disney Theatrical's New York productions of "Aladdin" and "The Lion King" for spring 2018 at a theater to be announced. It will have a pre-Broadway engagement starting in summer 2017 in Denver.
