About FROZEN

The North American tour of Disney’s FROZEN officially opened in Los Angeles on December 6, 2019, and the critics agree, “It’s simply magical!” (LA Daily News).

FROZEN blows into the Pantages with gorgeous singing, heartrending emotions, and a symphony of stagecraft,” raves the Los Angeles Times. The LA Daily News proclaims, “FROZEN is surprisingly deep, sweetly romantic, visually opulent, and plentifully humorous, stunningly bringing the movie to life onstage,” and ABC7 affirms, “FROZEN warms hearts with familiar characters, familiar songs, and so much more.” LA Weekly deems FROZEN “a cool show in more ways than one,” and The Hollywood Reporter declares: “Thawing hearts coast to coast!”

FROZEN, the Tony®-nominated Best Musical, has joined Disney Theatrical hits The Lion King and Aladdin on tour across North America. Heralded by The New Yorker as “thrilling” and “genuinely moving,” FROZEN has emerged as the biggest hit musical of the last two Broadway seasons, breaking four house records the legendary St. James Theatre, its New York home where it is currently celebrating its second smash year.
