After almost two years on Broadway, original cast members Patti Murin and Caissie Levy exited the hit musical Frozen on February 16. The beloved stars were replaced by the equally dazzling McKenzie Kurtz and Ciara Renée as Anna and Elsa, and a slew of audiences have made sure to experience their performances in person. This past week's box office receipts are proof, with the Tony-nominated sensation taking in a strong gross of $925,094.10, filling the St. James Theatre to a 91.47% capacity. The cold surely doesn't bother Disney fans, so be sure to experience Frozen's new leading stars for yourself soon.
