Frozen - 2018 - Broadway History , Info & More

St. James Theatre (Broadway)
246 West 44th St. New York, NY

The story of two sisters separated by secret has never been more chilling that it is now at the St. James Theatre on Broadway. Anna and Elsa's love for one another comes to life as never before. Frozen on Broadway brings to life the beloved 2013 film and features twice as much music as the modern animated classic.

For the musical, Disney has reassembled the film's creative team to go deeper into the heart and humor of Arendelle. Featuring music and lyrics by the Kristen Anderson-Lopez and EGOT-winner Robert Lopez and a book by Jennifer Lee, Frozen on Broadway brings to life all of your favorite characters.

Frozen is directed by Michael Grandage and choreographed by Rob Ashford.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Frozen

Broadway Review: Disney’s ‘Frozen’
7 / 10

The theater's legendary powers notwithstanding, there's no way that the all-too-solid stage of the St. James Theater can approximate the technical virtuosity of a movie setting. Rather, the magic of the theater comes from its power to open up the world of the imagination. Emerging from the dancing lights of the aurora borealis (as fashioned by lighting designer Natasha Katz) projected on the scrim (by video designer Finn Ross), Christopher Oram's sets are highly stylized and very theatrical, if not transporting.

Disney’s Frozen review at St James Theatre, New York – ‘a thrilling stage version’
8 / 10

Grandage is incredibly well-served by a cast of terrific actors and singers, led by the phenomenal Caissie Levy as Elsa. She brings real complexity to her powerful vocals. She doesn't just belt her songs out, she performs them with a voice rich in emotion. In this way the over-familiar Let it Go, that ends the first act, is made to feel fresh. The song soars. She is perfectly partnered with the more vulnerable Patti Murin as Elsa's sister Anna. A strong bond clearly exists between the actors as well as their characters. There's also adorable work from Andrew Pirozzi as the agile reindeer Sven and Greg Hildreth as a puppeteer snowman Olaf, while Timothy Hughes brings a formidable physicality to the character of Pabbie.
