“For the first time in forever,” experience the musical phenomenon which has taken the world by storm!  Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature film, Disney’s FROZEN The Broadway Musical includes all the film’s beloved songs by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, along with new music written exclusively for the stage.  In the beautiful, mountainous kingdom of Arendelle, Princesses Anna and Elsa grow up sheltered inside their castle, isolated from the world, and increasingly distanced from each other.  When Elsa is crowned queen, the magical powers she has desperately tried to conceal from her sister take control, and she flees into the mountains.  As a ferocious winter descends on Arendelle, Anna sets off on an epic journey to find Elsa and bring her home, with the help of hardworking ice harvester Kristoff, his loyal reindeer Sven, and a happy-go-lucky snowman named Olaf.  Full of magic, humor, and a stunning musical score, Disney’s FROZEN The Broadway Musical is a powerful tale of sisterhood, acceptance, and finding the real meaning of true love.
