'Frozen' captures all the elements that made the movie so memorable while also shining through as a terrific stage musical says theater critic Terry Byrne, who salutes the entire creative team.
Caroline Bowman as Elsa, Lauren Nicole Chapman as Anna and the company of"Frozen," now playing at the Citizens Bank Opera House.
Although loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen’s “Snow Queen,” “Frozen," benefits from writer Jennifer Lee’s unconventional approach to traditional fairy tale fare. After tragically losing their parents, Elsa, the new queen discovers she is unable to control her powers and flees her castle in Arendelle, leaving destruction in her wake. While she is hunted as a monster, her spunky younger sister Anna refuses to give up on her and their love for each other saves the day.
Rather than slow down the action, these additions provide the story with some depth and breadth, and the composer-lyricist team never strains to deliver playful and heartfelt messages. Thanks to the brisk pace set by director Michael Grandage it doesn’t take long before we are out in Elsa’s world of icy castles. Say what you will about earworms, the timing of “Let It Go,” at the end of Act I, makes it irresistible — just ask the audience who happily sang along.
