Disney’s Frozen Comes Alive on Stage

Review: Disney’s Frozen Comes Alive on Stage

The National Arts Centre was transformed into a winter wonderland as Broadway Across Canada’s spellbinding production of Disney’s Frozen took center stage. From the moment the curtains rose, it was clear that this wasn’t just another adaptation of the beloved film—it was an enchanting journey that captured the hearts of audiences young and old alike.

The casting was impeccable, with Lauren Nicole Chapman and Caroline Bowman shining as Anna and Elsa, respectively. Their performances brought depth and authenticity to the beloved characters, while Dominic Dorset’s Kristoff and Jack Brewer’s Hans added layers of emotion and intrigue to the story.

But it was Jeremy Davis’s portrayal of the lovable snowman, Olaf, that stole the show. His comedic timing and endearing charm had the audience in stitches, while Collin Baja and Dan Plehal’s puppetry brought Sven to life in a way that was truly magical.

The technical elements of the production were equally impressive, with Natasha Katz’s lighting and Jeremy Chernick’s special effects adding an extra layer of wonder to the performance. Moments like Elsa’s iconic costume change and Anna’s climactic realization were met with gasps of awe, showcasing the seamless integration of technology and artistry.

While staying true to the heart of the original film, this stage adaptation of Frozen introduced refreshing elements that added depth to the story. The inclusion of “Hidden Folk” and the expansion of certain scenes allowed for a more immersive experience, while still capturing the essence of the beloved movie.

The musical numbers were a highlight of the evening, with familiar favorites like “Let It Go” and “Do You Want to Build a Snowman” complemented by new additions such as “What Do You Know About Love” and “Monster.” Each song was delivered with passion and precision, leaving a lasting impression on all who were fortunate enough to witness them.

Broadway Across Canada’s presentation of Disney’s Frozen is a triumph. With its stunning visuals, unforgettable performances, and timeless themes, it’s a theatrical experience that will linger in the hearts of audiences long after the final curtain falls.
