It’s time to see what they can do…for the Oscar ceremony! Frozen husband and wife songwriting team Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, who won the Academy Award last year for “Let It Go,” will write a number for host Neil Patrick Harris. The 2015 Oscars will air on February 22.
“It won’t be a song called “Let It O” with a big giant Swarovski “O” crystal in the background,” joked Tony winner Harris in a video about the news. Does this mean there'll be no Adele Dazeem either?
The Oscar win for the Frozen megahit made The Book of Mormon and Avenue Q composer Lopez a member of the exclusive EGOT Club. Lopez and Anderson-Lopez are currently working on a new tuner, Up There.
As previously reported, along with Harris and Lopez, mega-producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron have tapped some of Broadway’s best for the show. Rob Ashford (Thoroughly Modern Millie) will choreograph, with production design by Derek McLane (33 Variations) and musical direction by Stephen Oremus (Kinky Boots, The Book of Mormon).
