Frozen – The Musical at Orpheum Theatre San Francisco

Many critics were unsure about Frozen: The Musical when it was first shown. The idea that any director could capture the full magic of the animated film in a live stage format seemed impossible. But Disney Theatrical Productions was more than on board with the challenge. It all began with finding the right talent to expand on the work. Many fans were thrilled to find out that original film composers, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez were recalled to score the musical. A song list that numbered 8 songs in the film was expanded to an amazing 20 songs. Mark Shenton wrote in The Stage that the musical choices had “surging power ballads that are the score’s signature and are stunningly delivered…” While some reviewers argue that the story slows down in the second act, many more reviewers agree that the show is fun and enjoyable. Theater lovers will not be disappointed by Frozen: The Musical!
