A Tale of 2 Sisters

Behold a heartwarming yet humorous, full-length retelling of Anna and Elsa’s Frozen adventure in Arendelle.
Based on the hit Disney animated movie, Frozen, A Musical Spectacular revisits the captivating escapades of royal sisters Anna and Elsa when an accident as children changes their lives—and their relationship—forever. Estranged from her sister as an adult, perpetual optimist Anna sets off on an epic journey to find Elsa, whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in eternal winter.

Encountering white-out conditions, mythical trolls and a not-so-charming prince, Anna battles the elements in a race to save her sister and the kingdom, while discovering the true meaning of sisterhood, inner strength and love along the way.

Featuring enchanting costumes and sets, show-stopping musical numbers, spectacular special effects and stunning surprises—plus all the characters you’ve come to love including Kristoff, Sven and everybody’s favorite summer-loving snowman Olaf—this larger-than-life theatrical triumph is destined to inspire and delight your entire family.

Songs to Melt a Frozen Heart

Frozen, A Musical Spectacular features many of the songs you’ve been singing since you saw the movie for the very first time. Tunes from the iconic score you’ll see performed include:

  • For the First Time in Forever
  • Let It Go
  • Love Is an Open Door
  • In Summer
  • Fixer Upper

With choreography by Josh Prince and under the musical direction of Marco Paguia, the show includes classic songs from the hit film that remain true to their original arrangements, although some have been expanded into ensemble pieces while others have transformed into lavish production numbers, allowing you to experience the story in a fresh, new way.

Puppetry
Dynamic puppeteer Michael Curry—whose ingenious designs are featured in Disney’s Tony Award-winning Broadway musical The Lion King—breathes amazing new “animated” life into faithful reindeer Sven, kind-hearted snowman Olaf and even the fun-loving trolls.
