Could there be a role for a certain Great White Way superstar in Frozen’s Oscar-winning songwriting team Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez’s previously reported new musical Up There? “There’s always a part for Idina Menzel, anytime!” Kristen Anderson-Lopez recently joked to Broadway.com.
Her hubby Robert Lopez added that the project, which will be helmed by Rocky and Here Lies Love director Alex Timbers, is “a romantic comedy, but it’s got a real theatrical twist of existential fun.”
The pair also revealed that Up There has just been workshopped. It is scheduled to open in 2015 at La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego and although there's no word yet on whether the show is Broadway-bound, since EGOT-er Lopez co-created both The Book of Mormon and Avenue Q, it has to be on the cards!
