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.
Broadway's Frozen is a good show. With its music, its dance, its flurry of likable leads, and snowball after snowball of son and lumière, some of it newfangled, some of it stretching back to 19th-century melodrama, it offers most of the pleasures that we count on Broadway musicals to provide. But even with the addition of a dozen new songs by the composers Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, an enhanced book by Jennifer Lee, and the interventions of director Michael Grandage and scenic and costume designer Christopher Oram, it rarely feels like more than the movie and sometimes it feels like less.
Directed by Tony-winning Michael Grandage (Red), the stage Frozen, opening tonight, doesn't consistently live up to 'Let It Go,' its book by Jennifer Lee (Zootopia) often feeling rushed, more concerned with hitting the movie's beats come hell or cold water than taking the time to just enjoy the characters that the audience is primed to love.
