Welcome to the Murray Musical 2027
Welcome to the Murray Musical 2027!
We are thrilled to offer students in grades 3-5 an opportunity to participate in this year’s Murray Musical, FROZEN, JR.!
The enchanting modern classic from Disney is ready for Murray Avenue’s Broadway Junior stars! Frozen JR. is based on the 2018 Broadway musical, and brings Elsa, Anna, and the magical land of Arendelle to life, onstage. The show features all of the memorable songs from the animated film, with music and lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, plus five new songs written for the Broadway production.
A story of true love and acceptance, Frozen JR. expands upon the emotional relationship and journey between Princesses Anna and Elsa. When faced with danger, the two discover their hidden potential and the powerful bond of sisterhood. With a cast of beloved characters and loaded with magic, adventure, and plenty of humor, Frozen JR. is sure to thaw even the coldest heart!
No prior acting experience is necessary. Our goal is to create an environment where every student can succeed and be a part of a great performance.
