Based on the 2013 Disney film that became a cultural phenomenon, “Frozen” tells the powerful tale of two royal sisters, Elsa and Anna, whose love for each other is tested by fear, self-discovery and the forces of nature. When Elsa’s magical powers accidentally plunge the kingdom of Arendelle into eternal winter, Anna sets off on a perilous journey — joined by rugged mountain man Kristoff, his reindeer Sven, and the lovable snowman Olaf — to bring back summer and mend the bond with her sister.

“Frozen” includes iconic songs such as “Let It Go,” “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” and “For the First Time in Forever,” along with original music written exclusively for the Broadway stage. This theatrical spectacle brings the heart and wonder of the film to life in a way only live theatre can.
