11-21 Frosty comes to Netcong
NETCONG – That favorite of all snowmen – Frosty – is coming to life in the New Jersey premiere of the musical Frosty at The Growing Stage on Nov. 28.
Directed by Growing Stage education director Lori B. Lawrence, the cast features a host of local youngsters including Ashlei Carlson, Beth Codey, and Emma Fredericks of Hackettstown, Stephanie Turci, Hanna Schroeder, and Caitlin Gilby of Long Valley, Lizzi Scarpone, of Mount Olive, Jake Wallace and Matthew Fralley of Netcong, Liz Rosa of Roxbury, Olivia Row of Sparta, Jeorgi Smith of Green Township, Sabrina Presti of Jefferson, and Danielle DiGiorgio of Succasunna.
This heart-warming musical, developed by Chicago's Emerald City Theatre Company with lyrics by Alyn Cardarelli and music by Steve Goers, follows the adventures of four third graders who believe in the magic that rests within a certain special hat. Watch them run here and there all around the square... You get the idea!
