According to Broadway.com, Caissie Levy (Ghost) will play the role of Elsa in the latest workshop of Disney's Frozen.

The production, which is being directed by Brit director Michael Grandage, is set to run at the Buell Theatre in Denver in August before opening at the St James Theatre on Broadway in 2018.

Patti Murin (Wicked, Broadway) will play opposite Levy as Anna.

The musical, based on the Oscar-winning Disney film, will have design by Christopher Oram whose previous work includes the Kenneth Branagh season at the Garrick Theatre and the RSC's Wolf Hall and Bring up the Bodies, for which he won the 2015 Olivier and Tony Awards.

It has music and lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, and a book by Jennifer Lee.
