Frozen Broadway Synopsis
Fresh off the heels of the 2013 Academy Award-winning animated movie, Frozen follows the story of two royal sisters called Anna and Elsa. At a young age, they were torn apart by a mysterious secret. Elsa struggles to discover her voice and control her powers within, while Anna sets off on an epic adventure. Elsa is a newly crowned queen that accidentally triggers a never ending winter in the town of Arendelle. Meanwhile, Anna is her younger sister who is determined to find her sister and save the kingdom. Confronting an unsuspected villain, uncontrollable ice powers, and surprises around every corner, Anna alongside her friends Kristoff, Olaf, and Sven, join forces to bring back summer. The story of Frozen shows that genuine love can come in various ways, and that the bond between sisters is truly magical.
