It features a number of first for a theatrical production including a 2,200 square foot video wall and Custom sound design envelops the audience in music and audio effects. . The show is under the direction of Tony Award® nominated Director Liesl Tommy.

“I am approaching ‘Frozen’ as I would any new work – to search the story for what resonates most emotionally, which is the story of the relationship between Anna and Elsa, their coming of age and conquering their worst fears,” explains Director Tommy.

The show will open with cast and crew of more than 200 and runs with three showings per performance day.
