Michael Grandage’s magical musical production has opened at London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane. The plot of Frozen probably requires little introduction, but for those unfamiliar it focuses on sisters Elsa (Samantha Barks) and Anna (Stephanie McKeon), who are princesses of Arendelle.
Following Elsa’s ascension to the throne she accidentally casts a spell confining Arendelle to perpetual winter; she creates an ice palace in which to hide, living out a life of solitude.
Her sister Anna sets out alongside mountaineer Kristoff (Obioma Uguola) on a mission to save Arendelle and its people. The musical rendition largely follows the plot of the film although there are notable differences.
