Frozen – The Musical at Academy of Music

Frozen the Musical was unveiled as one of the much-anticipated family-friendly theatrical productions. Drawing inspiration from the highly lauded 2013 Disney animated film Frozen, which garnered rave reviews, Frozen the Musical was publicly revealed by Disney's Chairman Bob Iger in collaboration with Disney Theatrical Productions, on January 13, 2014. The production's development 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 premiere on March 22, 2018. The production crew saw this endeavor as a chance to delve deeper into the characters’ origins and motivations. Consequently, a couple of 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 counterpart.

The Guardian, within its review of the musical, commended its strengths, stating, “It evolves into a uniquely magical creation, featuring creative inventions and even a couple of freshly composed 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 suffering sisters.”

The timeless tale of two princesses from Arendale continues to enthrall audiences. The narrative, which beautifully encapsulates the bond between sisters as they embark on a journey of finding themselves, is both universally relevant and deeply heartwarming. With that said, Frozen the Musical guarantees a not-to-be-missed experience for people of all ages this spring. Whether you're have seen the original film or not, this spellbinding adventure in a fantastical snowy world will leave you amazed. FROZEN THE MUSICAL is about to light up Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for an long-anticipated run. Come and experience the unbreakable bond of two sisters at the Academy Of Music on Saturday 6th April 2024!
