Frozen – The Musical at William H. Mortensen Hall

The musical adaptation of Frozen was unveiled as one of the most eagerly anticipated family-friendly theatrical productions. Drawing inspiration from the acclaimed 2013 Disney animated film Frozen, which garnered extensive praise, this musical spectacle was officially announced 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 debut on March 22, 2018. The creative team saw this endeavor as a chance to delve deeper into the roles' histories and motivations. Consequently, several action-packed scenes 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 original.

The Guardian, when discussing of the musical, extolled its virtues, stating, “It evolves into a uniquely magical creation, featuring ingenious concepts and even a couple of recently written 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 authentic emotional resonance in the portrayal of the profound bond between the two anguished sisters.”

The timeless tale of two princesses from Arendale remains captivating audiences. The narrative, which perfectly portrays the sisterly love as they undertake a journey of personal growth, is both universally relevant and deeply heartwarming. With that said, Frozen the Musical promises to be a must-see experience for people of all ages this winter. Whether you're familiar with the original film or not, this captivating voyage through an enchanting snowy kingdom will astound you. FROZEN THE MUSICAL will soon grace Hartford, Connecticut for an anticipated run. Be in attendance the unbreakable bond of two sisters at the Mortensen Hall at Bushnell Theatre on Wednesday 14th February 2024! The musical holds delights for both young and old, so bring your entire family to revel in the magic of this magical Disney presentation. Snag your tickets for Frozen the Musical right now!
