Disney’s Frozen
Music and Lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez & Robert Lopez
Book by Jennifer Lee
Directed by Katherine M. Carter
Originally directed on Broadway by Michael Grandage
Based on the Disney film written by Jennifer Lee and directed by Chris Buck & Jennifer Lee. Originally produced on Broadway by Disney Theatrical Productions.

Enter the icy world of Arendelle where the newly crowned Queen Elsa has accidentally set off an eternal winter. Join her younger sister, Anna, along with Kristoff, Olaf and Sven on a snowy adventure to find Elsa and save the kingdom. But as the storm rages on, both sisters must learn that only an act of true love can thaw a frozen heart. Settle in for some hygge, a little bit of joking, and a whole lot of letting go!
This sparkling Disney fairytale has been reimagined for the stage as a full length musical, that maintains the film’s enchanting music, including the iconic and award-winning song “Let It Go.” Theater stage magic will include spectacular set designs, dazzling special effects, and puppetry bringing Olaf the snowman and Sven the reindeer to life. Frozen is a powerful fable that captures the essence of sisterhood, self-discovery, and the enduring power of love, making it a magical and heartwarming experience for audiences of all ages.
If you loved stories like The Little Mermaid, Newsies, and Beauty and the Beast you won’t want to miss this one!
