Frozen – The Musical at Stranahan Theater

Frozen the Musical premiered as one of the most eagerly anticipated family-friendly theatrical productions. Drawing inspiration from the highly lauded 2013 Disney animated film Frozen, which garnered rave reviews, this musical spectacle was publicly revealed by The Walt Disney Company'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 opening night on March 22, 2018. The creative team saw this endeavor as a chance to plunge into the roles' histories and motivations. Consequently, a few action-packed scenes from the original film were trimmed, providing more time to highlight the emotional challenges of the figurines. As a result, the musical boasts a runtime of roughly twenty minutes longer than its cinematic equivalent.

The Guardian, when discussing of the musical, extolled its virtues, stating, “It evolves into a uniquely magical creation, featuring creative inventions and even a few 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 genuine emotional resonance in the portrayal of the profound bond between the two tormented sisters.”

The everlasting tale of two princesses from Arendale remains captivating audiences. The narrative, which masterfully captures the sibling affection as they undertake a journey of self-discovery, is both universally relatable and intimately touching. With that said, Frozen the Musical assures a must-watch experience for people of all ages this spring. Whether you're have seen the original film or not, this mesmerizing journey into a magical winter realm will leave you amazed. FROZEN THE MUSICAL is about to light up Toledo, Ohio for an long-anticipated run. Join us the unshakeable bond of two sisters at the Stranahan Theater on Friday 12th April 2024! The musical offers enjoyment for audiences of all ages, so bring your entire family to immerse in the enchanting world of this wondrous Disney adaptation.
