Frozen – The Musical at Academy of Music

Frozen the Musical made its debut as one of the most eagerly anticipated family-friendly musicals. Drawing inspiration from the highly lauded 2013 Disney cartoon film Frozen, which garnered considerable acclaim, this musical spectacle was formally introduced by Disney's Chairman Bob Iger in collaboration with Disney Theatrical Productions, on January 13, 2014. The musical’s journey included a pre-Broadway showcase 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 opening night on March 22, 2018. The creative team saw this endeavor as a chance to explore the figurines' histories and motivations. Consequently, a few action-packed scenes from the source material were trimmed, providing more time to focus on the internal struggles of the characters. As a result, the musical runs for about twenty minutes longer than its cinematic original.

The Guardian, within its review of the musical, commended its strengths, stating, “It evolves into a uniquely magical creation, featuring creative inventions and even some recently written 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 genuine emotional resonance in the portrayal of the profound bond between the two tormented sisters.”

The everlasting tale of two princesses from Arendale continues to enthrall audiences. The narrative, which beautifully encapsulates the bond between sisters as they undertake a journey of self-discovery, is both universally relatable and intimately touching. With that said, Frozen the Musical guarantees a not-to-be-missed experience for people of all ages this spring. Whether you're familiar with the original film or not, this spellbinding journey into a magical winter realm will astound you. FROZEN THE MUSICAL will soon grace Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for an long-anticipated run. Come and experience the unbreakable bond of two sisters at the Academy Of Music on Saturday 30th March 2024! This captivating production holds delights for both young and old, so bring your whole family to experience the enchantment of this fantastical Disney presentation.
