The Paper Mill Playhouse (PMP)<\/strong><\/u><\/a> presents Disney’s Frozen \u2013 A Broadway Musical<\/em> for audiences to enjoy this holiday season. Performances run now through January 11, 2026.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Paige Price directs this production of\u00a0Frozen<\/em>\u00a0which is outstanding entertainment for the whole family to see. The heartwarming story of the Princesses Elsa and Anna comes to life with amazing staging. The live orchestra provides beautiful music which fills the theater with delightful sounds. A strong cast brings the characters to life.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It does not matter what age you are, there is something for everyone to enjoy seeing\u00a0Frozen<\/em>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The musical\u00a0Frozen\u00a0<\/em>is an adaptation from the Disney film of the same name. Music and lyrics are by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez and the book is by Jennifer Lee.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The story begins as Elsa and her sister Anna are young. They love being together and they build a snowman, Olaf, which appears later in the show. However, when Elsa\u2019s mysterious power comes out and injures Anna, she is kept away from her. Anna does not understand why she cannot be with her sister. Their parents, who are the King and Queen, give Elsa a pair of gloves to help her learn how to control her powers. Unfortunately, they pair are killed in an accident at sea before they get can get a solution to the problem with Elsa\u2019s powers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

These mysterious powers that the royal family are kept hidden from the people of their kingdom, Arendelle. There are several people who understand the powers and they come through to help. But other than that, all is quiet.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Eventually, Elsa takes the crown of Queen. Anna is happy to see her. But the mysterious powers prevent Elsa from being close with her again. As summer no longer comes and winter stays in place, a search for solving that problem takes place.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There is a happy ending and the kingdom returns to its splendor.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Superb Staging<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Superb staging helps unfold the story in a most enjoyable way. Scenery is designed with emphasis on color evoking emotions. A powerful moment of staging occurs when the parents, Queen Iduna and King Agnarr, encounter a storm at sea. They are lost in the storm due to the excessive movement of the waves.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The coronation of Queen Elsa also is beautifully done. The replica of what might have been a cathedral for the coronation gives authenticity to the moment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Shifts between scenes at the kingdom and the outside country are seamlessly accomplished. Additional lighting touches add a festive air to the show as holiday trees adorn the sides of the stage.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n

Memorable Music<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A full orchestra plays the music for the show. The score is comprised of over 20 songs including one that is a popular favorite, \u201cLet it Go.\u201d Beautifully sung by Mary Kate Morrissey, it is a stirring moment in the show as Elsa realizes she has to let go of her hesitations and be who she truly is.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHygge\u201d and \u201cColder by the Moment\u201d provide some important moments in the story. \u201cLove is an Open Door\u201d from Anna and Hans is another memorable song.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A Variety of Characters Played by the Cast<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A number of different characters come into the story. There are good ones and those who are selfishly looking for their own gains. But as the tale progresses, the importance of family love and being true to one\u2019s self are examined. It ends on a positive note as truth and understanding are revealed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The outstanding cast for\u00a0Frozen\u00a0<\/em>at Paper Mill Playhouse stars Mary Kate Morrissey as Elsa, Samantha Williams as Anna, Daniel Yearwood as Kristoff, and Sam Gravitte as Hans. The cast also includes Todd Buonopane\u00a0as Olaf, Mark Price as Lord Weselton, and Thomas Whitcomb as Sven. The two young princesses are played by Anjali Roa as Young Anna and Hazel Vogel as Young Elsa.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The ensemble features:\u00a0Sherz Aletaha, Jasmine Bassham, Badia Farha, Maggie Gidden, Erin Gonzales, Beau Harmon, Dakota Hoar, Fiona Claire Huber, Albert Jennings, Ryan Lambert, Liesl Landegger, Carina-Kay Louchiey, Nathan Lucrezio, Happy McPartlin, Greg Mills, Kevin Ivey Morrison, Evelyn Peterson, Hugo Pizano Orozco, Leah Platt, Ethan Saviet, Graham Stevens, and Matthew Varvar.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
