Frozen , the latest production in the Disney Theatricals series, makes its OKC tour stop this month.

An expanded version of the popular animated movie musical from 2013 adapted for the stage by Kristen Anderson-Lopez, Robert Lopez and the movie’s original writer Jennifer Lee, Frozen features all the characters and songs you know and love plus 12 new songs written for the stage.

The movie was a hit for families and created one of those iconic Disney songs you can’t get out of your head. The movie voice-starred Broadway alum Idina Menzel as Elsa and Kristen Bell as Anna.

Together they reign as royalty in the mountainous Norwegian-esque kingdom of Arendelle. Cursed with magical powers she can’t understand or control, Elsa is forced to hide away from everyone, including her beloved younger sister. When Elsa is crowned as queen, she accidentally unleashes a boundless winter on her kingdom and flees to protect herself and her

This family-friendly tale features crowd favorite characters from the movie, including Olaf and Sven. Olaf is a magical snowman that Elsa creates, and Sven is the world’s sass iest reindeer. Both characters appeal to audiences of all ages, and Sven has an intricate and engaging presenta tion on stage. Fans of the movie can expect to hear familiar songs from Olaf and Anna, as well as the iconic showstopper “Let It Go,” which has been revitalized and is now even bigger and more sumptuous on stage.
