It explains that local theatergoers and tourists alike had bolstered Broadway show attendance to 14.77 million for the 2018-19 season compared to 13.79 the previous year, citing data from the Broadway League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/news.fitnyc.edu\/2019\/08\/19\/disney-on-broadway-partners-with-fit-in-celebration-of-25th-anniversary\/\">FITNY<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/fashion-news\/fashion-scoops\/disney-on-broadway-partners-with-fashion-institute-of-technology-for-stage-inspired-designs-1203241335\/\">WWD<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/listindiario.com\/la-vida\/2019\/08\/22\/579318\/una-dominicana-entre-estudiantes-que-redisenaran-vestuarios-para-personajes-de-disney\">Listin Diario<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>26 August 2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York\u2019s fourth-year fashion student Yelayny Placencia is the designer of the contemporary look for Anna, the iconic female character of \u201cFrozen.\u201d The design is intended for use in the Disney Broadway show.
