Disney’s adaptation of the wildly popular film “Frozen” is set to make its debut on Disney+, with a proshot of the West End musical premiering on June 20. This live production offers fans a chance to experience a full-length version of the story, which adds depth and new dimensions to the beloved tale with 12 original songs alongside fan favorites like “For the First Time in Forever,” “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” and the Oscar-winning “Let It Go.”
The narrative follows Queen Elsa, whose hidden powers unintentionally cast Arendelle into a perpetual winter. In an effort to save her sister and the kingdom, Anna embarks on a treacherous journey, discovering that only an act of true love can reverse the icy spell. This heartwarming story, rooted in themes of love and sisterhood, is adapted from the original 2013 film, which earned two Academy Awards.
The musical’s score is crafted by the film’s original creators Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, both Oscar winners, with a screenplay adapted by Jennifer Lee, who also directed the film. The live production showcases direction from Tony Award winner Michael Grandage and choreography from Rob Ashford, adding to its rich theatrical pedigree.
The Broadway version of “Frozen” concluded its run at the St. James Theatre in March 2020, after delivering 825 performances and 26 previews, solidifying its impact on audiences. With its Disney+ release, fans will now have the opportunity to enjoy this spectacular rendition from the comfort of their homes.
This adaptation is a hopeful celebration of creativity and storytelling, showcasing the enduring appeal of the Frozen franchise. It promises to inspire a new generation of fans while rekindling the magic for those who cherished the original film.
