Dear Little Girl with the beautiful voice,
My husband and I wrote this song as part of a story about healing a family in pain. The way you sing it is like a magic trick that spreads the light in your heart and heals everyone who hears it. Keep singing! We are listening!
So they abolish abortion but don’t care if our children are killed in school with guns. They abolish abortion but cut healthcare, childcare and education for the most vulnerable. This isn’t pro-life. This is anti-woman.
You've got to be taught to hate and fear
You've got to be taught from year to year
It's got to be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught
Oscar Hammerstein, South Pacific
Hang in there, Broadway and West End. We will all get through this just like we all got through the childhoods that made us dedicate our lives to live theatre.
Quarantining day 13 with the Lopez family singers. Sending so much love out to anyone anxious, scared and feeling alone. “We are for each other. “ Please donate to and tell us what other songs you’d like to hear?
We are with you. Thank you

Wherever you may be, here’s a special message from Olaf’s home to yours. “I Am With You” Music and Lyrics Written at Home by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. Performed at Home by Josh Gad. Directed at Home by Dan Abraham.

Fosse/Verdon is anything and everything I ever wanted from a TV show. Psychology, relationships, and musical theatre greatness in one perfect hour each episode. If you aren’t watching, do yourself a favor and start. That is all.

First time hearing “Into The Unknown” listen as Bobby cuts a lot of the drums -never to be heard again. Watch

My husbands first Broadway show, Avenue Q, closes today after 15 years. There’s so much to say about the gifts and friendships it brought into our lives. There’s so much gratitude for the foundation it provided for our family. But everything in life is only for now. . .
For those of you who love theatre but recognize the striking gender imbalance when it comes to creatives, 1 small thing you can do to move the needle is to amplify and celebrate

in 2005, We did a workshop of Finding Nemo the musical and Jennifer Simard was Dory. SHE WAS FUCKING EPIC. If we ever did a full length of this show. . . .
I am so grateful to all of you who enjoy the themes and take the time to let us know. I’m extra grateful that many of you type

cause he composed the songs too but is not on social media and only gets to hear your voices through my account. So thanks!

I don’t think this decaf is decaf.
As I sweep the curb I can hear those turbo engines blazing a trail through the sky
I look up and think about the years gone by
But one day—I’m walkin’ to JFK and I’m gonna fly!
It won’t be long now!
Any day...

The other day, B and i remembered that time we lived with a 3 month old in Vegas and it dawned on us that our easy life of our 20s was gone. I was new-mom anxious and wouldn’t leave baby with anyone. Then

I know this is not news, in fact it’s a full week or two behind the Broadway news cycle, but Tick, Tick Boom is truly wonderful. It captures a truth about the insane gamble with time and relevance any musical theatre writer makes when they choose this life.
#TickTickBoom
Boom!
Wearing the Q ring Bobby gave me when he asked me to marry him on the Off-Broadway opening night 3/19/2003. Goodbye Avenue Q. Thanks for all you’ve given to our family.
Frozen Friday’s! Starting Feb 23 (my husbands bday!) we will release one new fully orchestrated song performed by our incredible Frozen original cast every Friday until opening! Can. Not. Wait!!!
Thinking back to how we missed attending last year’s Golden Globes on 1/3/20 because we were stuck in FL after getting off Disney Cruise where we had performed and my daughter was HORRIBLY sick with high fever, cough, fatigue, weird red toes and trouble breathing. 👀
For those of you asking, the theme songs and all music from each episode are released on Spotify the week after they first air. So last week’s “Keep it Going” should be released today. *This weeks* (if you know you know) offerings will be available next Fri.
#WandaVision
2nite we launch our Frozen tour and this will be the 1st audience to hear a NEW Anna and Elsa duet called “I Can’t Lose You”.We were lucky enough to see Caroline Bowman and Caroline Innerbichler rehearse it and it gave us all the feels. Hope you guys enjoy it!
#FrozenBroadway
Guess who knew this was coming months ago? Guess who did nothing to prepare? Guess who never thought to order tests when he knew every state would need them? Guess who slashed the budget of the CDC? Guess who keeps saying this’ll go away with zero science to back that up?
Please. I’m begging you. I have friends who are vaccinated who caught mild delta and are back on their feet in 10 days. Then I have friends who were unvaccinated and caught delta and they were dead in 6 weeks. Choose the vaccine. Choose life.
This is very bleak. I promise you that the main musical project Bobby and I are working on every day will hopefully provide lots of work IN NEW YORK for many many Broadway and Broadway-adjacent friends.

Tell her the writer said she could skip the part where Hans reveals the truth and she can listen to her heart and go right to finding Kristoff. Then she can tell ME how it goes if Kristoff and Anna find Elsa TOGETHER.
We saw it again on Friday and saw so many things we’d missed during the entire process! The animation, lighting, effects and entire design is so layered we could watch this 20 more times and still miss all the craft!

for the second or third and even fourth time and telling me it somehow gets better and better with every viewing. Completely agree!

as we, grateful parents, stay close to our recuperating daughter.
My heart is overwhelmed. These poor children. These poor people. I want to hug and protect this and every other child in danger right now and I feel helpless.
Update - we are safe and sound and home in Brooklyn. Annie is on the mend thanks to the steroids, the nebulizers, the NSAIDs and the many ER doctors who cared for her. Tonight I think about those families who don’t have easy access to medical care or ER services. Vote!
Thanks

for your incredible voice and artistry. Also, probably time to ‘fess up that that perfect girl never quite was, in my case. 😜
2/2 They skipped the opening night and, instead, stayed in our hotel room with our infant. 16 years later, I welled up with tears at this act of generosity. And the world needs to know how this very small act of kindness still lives large in my heart. Thanks

This. The Russia words she's singing (diff from English version):
Let it go, and forget.
What's gone - can't return
Let it go, and forget.
A new day will show your path.
I'm not afraid of anything.
Let it storm.
The cold is something I always liked.

PSA for TSA— they CAN accept snacks and food bought inside the airport. So if you are flying this weekend and want to show support for those folks working hard for no pay, drop a bag of non-perishable snacks with their supervisors! We did and it was much appreciated.

We just saw West Side Story and our youngest daughter is NOT okay. I haven’t seen her sob like this since the “Lion” debacle of 2017.
It’s really, really great. Just prepare those with open hearts to feel pain for all of humanity.

@wandavision
is perhaps the most innovative use of “form is content” storytelling I’ve ever experienced in my life. We are so grateful to be a small part of this inventive series.
We were so surprised and excited when we heard! There are no nominations without the incredible directors, crew, artists and engineers at

You guys don’t know my dad but if Al Gore and Clark Griswald had a baby - that could make up parodies to any music, answer any jeopardy question and make massive amounts of good food, that would be my dad. He’s fighting an infection & could use a little white light today?
