Frozen – The Musical at Queen Elizabeth Theatre

When Frozen: The Musical premiered in the Buell Theatre in August 2017, critics didn’t know what to say. Even after mixed reviews, the general agreement was that the show had huge potential. The Denver Post wrote that it was “Fun but not transporting”. Some critics wondered if the songs could really hold up the expansion of the story quite like the original one did, especially when the score expanded from 8 songs to 20. While reviews felt that the play was a little padded in parts, it was clear to all that Disney Theatrical Productions may have hit gold on the project. That’s why Michael Grandage was called in to help uplift the production during its current Broadway tour. The show tells the story of Elsa and Anna in a story of sacrifice and true love with an evocative winter imagery that manages to capture the magic of the animated film. Original composers Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez returned to bolster the plot expansions with fresh music. Altogether, Disney Theatrical Productions took the reviews to heart and created a true experience that will be adored for generations.
