“Frozen” stars Kristen Bell and Jonathan Groff will star in the original musical “Molly and the Moon” which will be penned and direct “How I Met Your Mother” creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas.
The story is inspired by Thomas’ life – he and his wife were leading an almost scripted perfect life until the birth of their first child who had Jacobsen Syndrome and needed open-heart surgery at only two weeks old – upending any plans he may have had for his life.
Thus comes a musical about a baby struggling to survive to go home with its parents and start life. Harvey Mason Jr (“Sing,” “Pitch Perfect”) will be the executive music producer and Stephanie Diaz-Matos (“The Get Down”) will be the music supervisor and Nathan Larson the composer.
