Russell Middle School is first in country to perform full ‘Frozen’ broadway play

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) - The Russell Middle School theater program is days away from becoming the first middle school in the country to perform the "Frozen" Broadway play in full, according to the school.

Theater teacher Sarah Chandler said the rights to perform the famous play based on the Disney animated classic first became available last summer. There are three different versions that school productions can license: A JR, One-Act and the full show.

Since Frozen became licensable over the summer, Chandler said Russell Middle School was the first middle school to get approval to perform the full show.

The show is this Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 6:30 p.m. at Wasson Academic Campus. There is also a showing at 1 p.m. on Saturday. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for kids.
