Career


In Transit was partially inspired by Wordsworth's involvement in a semi-professional a capella group. In connection with her collaboration with Kristen Anderson-Lopez on In Transit, Wordsworth commented, "I think that our collaboration on this project is a really unique one, but it’s a very natural one. We try not to dictate the borders of our collaboration, and in a lot of ways, we function a little bit like the model of a Hollywood writer’s room and it’s like the best joke wins. I think that we have a really seamless collaboration because we respect each other’s work so much. There are no egos."
Wordsworth has worked extensively with Disney. She adapted Beauty and the Beast into a cruise show for Disney Dream. and adapted The Little Mermaid for the Disney Wish. She wrote "Frozen, A Musical Spectacular" for Walt Disney Theatre on the Disney Wonder. She has co-written two musicals for the New York City Children's Theater: Dory Fantasmagory, in 2021, and Dear Albert Einstein, in 2014.
She worked with the Alliances of Resident Theatres/New York who co-wrote mini musicals to honor the nominees at the Spring Gala in 2016.
Wordsworth was the show writer for Phish at The Garden in 2022. Of her involvement, Trey Anastasio said, "Everyday, we would think up something else we needed to include. We were blessed to be able to quickly assemble the most astounding team of NYC theater talent to bring all these wacky ideas to life." She co-wrote the "Elf on the Shelf Christmas Musical" which went on tour in 2021, after initially opening in 2019 (but stopping due to the pandemic). The show was inspired by her daughter. Wordsworth "wanted to write about a family that experienced love and loss and felt the magic of Christmas."
She has also adapted shoes for children for Disney Theatrical, including Frozen Jr. She joked her then six-year-old daughter was her assistant writer.
Wordsworth has been a member of the BMI Workshop since 2008 and now sits on their Steering Committee.
