Fanfares, please! Hot on the heels of Disney's announcement that the long-awaited musical adaptation of Frozen, the top-selling animated movie of all time, will be heading to Broadway in Spring 2018, they've now shared with us their chosen city for try-outs. That's right, Frozen The Musical will take its first bow at the Denver Center in Fall 2017, before joining other Disney blockbusters like Aladdin and The Lion King on the Great White Way.
FROZEN the musical is finally on its way!
Anna, Elsa, Olaf and Kristoff et al will be brought to life onstage by original composer and lyrics team Kristen Anderson-Lopez and EGOT winner Robert Lopez, who between them have cultivated many Broadway hits including In Transit, The Book Of Mormon, and Avenue Q, as well as book write Jennifer Lee (Wreck it Ralph).
Also included in the starry creative team is Tony-winning director Michael Grandage (Red) and Tony-winning choreographer Christopher Gattelli. While taking its inspiration from the movie, this show boasts brand new songs and story material to make it a unique night out at the theater!
What is Frozen About?
Full story details for Frozen: The Musical have yet to be confirmed. The movie was loosely based on Hans Christian Anderson's fairytale The Snow Queen, and tells the story of two royal sisters, Elsa and Anna, who must grow up alone after losing their parents in a tragic sea accident.
Elsa, the elder of the two must also contend with a secret - she has the power to create ice and snow with her bare hands. Anna, by contrast is a sunny, albeit naive young lady who yearns for the outside world. When Elsa's power is inadvertently revealed one day, she flees to the mountains to live out a life of solitude. Anna must set out to find her, and bring her home, as a terrible power is threatening to overcome the kingdom, and Elsa is the only one who can stop it!

Saw Frozen last night
Fantastic!
We went with another couple. He didn't see the movie and wasn't all that interested in going.
By intermission he said he was speechless it was so good.
The play allowed more time for relationships to develop. The little Elsa and Anna were great.
We were curious about how they would handle Elsa's magic on a stage.
It was so beyond our expectations...just go see it for yourself.
This will be Disney's next Lion King. My prediction is it will sell out on Broadway for years.
And maybe, just maybe, the Anna Halloween costume sales will finally catch up with Elsa sales.
Anna is the real heroine. ... Read more

SPECTACULAR!!
It was pure magic and wonder to see one of my favorite Disney movies come to life
onstage. The special effects and sets were beyond stunning. The magical ice castle
with glowing crystal shards, the backdrop of shifting northern lights, the majestic
mountains and the huge castle doors. Caissie Levy's interpretation of Elsa was
impeccable, and her powerful performance of "Let it Go" gave me chills. Patti Murin
embodied the spunky and lovable Anna, Kristoff and Hans as well were brought to
life wonderfully. And Sven the reindeer!! Costumes were gorgeous. I appreciate
that Elsa's internal conflict was given expression. The message of conquering fear
and hate with love is one that is simple and resonant for all ages. My only critique is
that it is very unbelievable when Hans suddenly turns against Anna. I would have
liked to see a little more complexity of his character from the beginning, perhaps a
hint of his dark intentions revealed to the audience, if not to Anna. ... Read more

Amazingly chilling
I was lucky enough to see Frozen September 14, 2017, and loved the show! The magic was put together with
stunning technology and staging. The casting of both the younger and older Elsa and Anna are fantastic. I
loved Olaf and Sven both were very well acted out. I had chills and goosebumps when Let It Go was
performed, since I wondered how Disney could pull off the switch from coronation dress to the sparkly icey
blue dress along with creating the ice palace. Disney did not disappoint! The new music is stunning and adds
to character development. The sets and staging is very well done, very well choreographed. The only
complaint I would have from the show is that they did away with the rock trolls, which would have been cool
costumes if they kept them. I would highly recommend this show to other Disney lovers, children would love
it and I hope it returns to Denver! ... Read more
