Frozen – The Musical at Academy of Music

Frozen the Musical premiered as one of the most eagerly anticipated family-friendly theatrical productions. Based on the praised 2013 Disney cartoon film Frozen, which garnered extensive praise, Frozen the Musical was publicly revealed by Bob Iger, the chairman of The Walt Disney Company in collaboration with Disney Theatrical Productions, on January 13, 2014. The process of bringing the musical to life included a pre-Broadway preview in Denver from August 17 to October 1, 2017. Broadway was graced with the musical’s presence as previews commenced on February 22, 2018, at the iconic St. James Theatre, followed by its grand debut on March 22, 2018. The creative team saw this endeavor as a chance to delve deeper into the characters’ histories and motivations. Consequently, a few high-energy sequences from the source material were trimmed, providing more time to focus on the emotional challenges of the figurines. As a result, the musical boasts a runtime of roughly twenty minutes longer than its cinematic original.

The Guardian, within its review of the musical, extolled its virtues, stating, “It evolves into a uniquely magical creation, featuring creative inventions and even some newly crafted songs (among which stands out a bold and comedic number, emerging unexpectedly to satirize the Scandinavian concept of hygge, as unclothed characters conga out of a sauna). Beyond the consistently exceptional vocal performances and the impressive stagecraft, what truly surprises is the sincere emotional resonance in the portrayal of the profound bond between the two anguished sisters.”

The everlasting tale of two princesses from Arendale continues to captivate audiences. The narrative, which beautifully encapsulates the sisterly love as they navigate a journey of self-discovery, is both universally relatable and intimately touching. With that said, Frozen the Musical assures a must-watch experience for audiences spanning all generations this spring. Whether you're acquainted with the original film or not, this mesmerizing adventure in a fantastical snowy world will astound you. FROZEN THE MUSICAL is making its way Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for an anticipated run. Come and experience the unshakeable bond of two sisters at the Academy Of Music on Sunday 31st March 2024!
