If not the cold, then the coronavirus has managed to bother Elsa, anyway

With Broadway shut down to at least Labor Day due to precautions around the coronavirus pandemic, Disney has announced that it is shuttering its Broadway production of Frozen. The show opened on March 22, 2018, and ran up until March 11, 2020, the day before Broadway shut down, for 825 performances and 26 previews.
With Frozen closed, Disney will still have two other musicals open on Broadway: Aladdin and the juggernaut that is The Lion King. According to the New York Times, Disney Theatricals president Thomas Schumacher told employees that the company believed three productions would be too many to compete against each other once Broadway reopened. Frozen, which had a troubled development process, eventually opened to lukewarm reviews, and faced sagging weekly grosses, was the weakest of the bunch.
Aside from Frozen, several other Broadway productions have postponed their runs further into the future. Several non-profit theaters have rescheduled their shows to their 2020-2021 seasons, while the Broadway productions of Plaza Suite and the Michael Jackson musical MJ have said they’ll premiere next summer.
