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.

‘Frozen’ Broadway Review: Disney’s Animated Hit Becomes Major Snow Job
6 / 10

In addition to Oram's monumental icescapes, Finn Ross' video and projection design gives the impression that the St. James stage, proscenium and beyond is freezing before our very eyes. Kudos, too, to Jeremy Chernick's special effects and Peter Hylenski's sound design, which, when it isn't blasting out Levy's high notes, manages to make us believe that a new ice age is upon us.

Frozen
6 / 10

It would be one thing if Frozen's stiffness were in the service of a deeper take on the material, but its already shaky plot seems even less secure, too thin a rope to support the musical's dutiful climb up the narrative mountain. While the best songs from the movie-including 'Love Is an Open Door,' an ebullient duet for Anna and her dashing suitor, Hans (John Riddle)-still pop, the new ones are less strong; aside from an incongruous but zippy comic number at a sauna, they feel like heavy filler, especially in the busy and slushy finale.
