They’ve dropped a trailer for the upcoming filmed version of the Broadway and West End adaptation of the beloved tale of sisters Anna and Elsa. The musical is set to start streaming on June 20th, so mark your calendars!

Originally opening in 2018 at the St. James Theatre, the Frozen musical had to close its doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But now, the magic of the stage will be available to everyone with a WiFi connection and a Disney+ account. It’s the perfect opportunity for fans to experience the show from the comfort of their own home.

Many of the creative minds behind the Frozen films worked on the musical adaptation. Composers Bobby and Kristen Anderson Lopez penned twelve new songs for the Broadway production, while Jennifer Lee, the director and writer of the film, returned to write the book for the stage show. This means fans can enjoy all the classic hits like “Let It Go,” as well as discover new favorites from the musical.

The trailer for the stage version features the talented West End cast, with Stephanie Barks as Elsa and Stephanie McKeon as Anna. And fun fact, did you know that 70% of the audience for Disney musicals are adults without children? That explains why this version of Frozen delves deeper into the internal lives of Anna and Elsa, offering a fresh perspective on the beloved characters.

The behind-the-scenes magic of the stage production is on full display in the trailer, showcasing the stunning visuals and intricate set pieces that bring the kingdom of Arendelle to life. From Elsa’s powers to the character of Sven, played by two dedicated ballet dancers, the stage version of Frozen promises to be a feast for the eyes and ears.

Following in the footsteps of other Disney classics like Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin, the stage version of Frozen has garnered critical acclaim, earning multiple award nominations on Broadway and in the West End. With the trend of streaming professional stage productions on Disney+, like Newsies and Aladdin, this latest release of Frozen opens up the world of theater to a wider audience.

Mark your calendars, Frozen will be available to stream on Disney+ starting June 20th. It’s the perfect chance to relive the magic of Arendelle and get lost in the enchanting world of Anna and Elsa once again.
