Some changes are coming in the kingdom of Arendelle: Tony award-winning director Michael Grandage has been officially unveiled to helm the upcoming stage musical Frozen. Alex Timbers, a two-time Tony award nominee who directed Peter and the Starcatcher, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, The Pee-Wee Herman Show and Rocky on Broadway, had been initially commissioned to direct Frozen but left this summer. Grandage won the Tony award for his direction of Red, John Logan’s acclaimed drama about the painter Mark Rothko. His recent Broadway work includes The Cripple of Inishmaan, Hughie and Evita. It is expected to land on Broadway in 2018 alongside its hits Aladdin and The Lion King.
