Disney Does On-Stage Adaptations of Frozen

Disney will officially release the rights to their on-stage adaptation of the smash hit Frozen with Frozen the Musical and Frozen the Musical Jr. through Music Theater International (MTI) in October of 2019.

You can now wow your friends and family with all the songs you recognize from the silver screen blockbuster as well as several newly added songs in your very own production. But how did this story become such a huge hit you might ask? It stormed its way into our lives, and soon onto our own stages, with not only snow and magic but with a unique and fascinating story line. In addition to a fantasy made of ice, we are also taken on a journey into the true meaning of love and sisterhood.

Not Another Romantic Story

When we think of the fairytales, what usually comes to mind is a beautiful princess who gets into trouble and must be rescued by her one true love, a handsome prince who has the kiss or power to set her free and live happily ever after.
Frozen, on the other hand, chooses to tell a slightly different story, that it’s not just romantic love but the love for family that can also set us free.

Story About Sisterhood

The story of Frozen focuses on the lives of two sisters, Elsa and Anna, and their journey of growing up separately due to a series of misunderstandings, but coming together when they are in need, and shows us the genuine love and strength a sibling relationship can have.

We see this demonstrated several times throughout the story. For instance, when Elsa and Anna are separated after the incident as children, Elsa was attempting to use her magic, but sadly ended up injuring Anna in the process.

In the show, you can display these scenes by using our Grand Parlor backdrop. It features a stone fireplace in the center with a roaring fire, and a beautiful picture in a gold frame with two large white columns on both sides connected by an ornate top. The windows are draped with purple curtains. The walls and ceiling are accented by gold artwork.

Just look how amazing it looks on the stage.

You can also use our Antique Blue Parlor Interior backdrop, which depicts the interior of a traditional Victorian parlor. It has a solid blue background adorned with gold molding. At the center of the drop is an ornate fireplace.

Another great option is our Striped Wallpaper Victorian Parlor backdrop, which portrays the interior of a classic Victorian-era home. The stage backdrop displays ecru and red striped wallpaper and three large windows adorned with elegant red drapery.

Reunion

After this episode, the girls don’t see each other till Elsa’s coronation a decade later. Even though so much time had passed, when the girls are reunited, it is like they pick up where they last left off. The bond they had as children made it easier to overcome any awkward moments; instead, they started to joke and show signs that they continue to support each other.

Scenes from this part can be elevated with our Grand Palace Interior, which features the grand opulence of a colorful palace. Set in deep purple tones, this theatrical backdrop has an imperial doorway in the center flanked by two giant mirrors. A gorgeous, purple chandelier adorns the middle of the great room.

You can also use our Regal Red Palace Interior, which portrays an opulent red ballroom with a grand imperial staircase covered in maroon carpeting and fitted with ornate, wrought iron railings.

The flight of stairs is punctuated at the bottom with a pair of candelabras on the left and newel posts on the right. On the second floor, a row of windows with maroon drapery is visible, while on the first floor, a chandelier hangs from the ceiling.

If you are looking for something different, our Royal Palace Cut Door might do the trick.  This backdrop depicts the interior of a ballroom with vanilla-colored walls, ornate decorative moldings, and gilded grilles. Two of the windows are shown draped with pink curtains, while the door is depicted as having sidelights flanking it on either side, as well as a grand curved transom window above.

Anna’s Desire to Marry Hans

In their second falling out, due to Anna’s desire to marry Hans, and wanting to keep the castle walls open. In this scene, Anna made it a point to be brutally honest about pushing people away, but also defended Elsa, telling everyone how much her powers are when she is accused of being a monster by the townspeople. Even after this event, Anna still wanted to make sure Elsa was OK and went out looking for her. We see how open sisters can be with one another and, even after a skirmish, they can still be extremely supportive of one another.

To portray this pivotal moment,  you may also use our Palace Interior with Cut Door Opening, which depicts the ballroom of a palace. At the center of the theatrical backdrop is a flight of stairs, on top of which is a cut door opening. Both sides of the door are lined with large glass windows that provide views of the blue sky and trees.

Another great option is our Palace Interior with Gold. The Interior sitting room has cream walls draped in golden fabric. Two French doors sit on the back wall, bordered by several columns. In between the two doors is a gorgeous landscape painting of a garden that pops with its pink, blue, yellow, and purple hues.

Our Regal Purple Palace Interior stage backdrop features a grand ballroom of a colorful palace. The palace backdrop is decorated in purple and pink tones.  This theatrical parlor backdrop has an imperial staircase with pink steps and cream-colored rails. The large windows surrounding the room are framed by red and purple velvet drapes. There is also a grand chandelier in the middle of the great room.

The Final Twist

And finally, in the last moments of the story, when Anna locates Elsa in her Ice Castle, Anna informs her of what has become of Arendelle. Elsa, in her frustrated state, accidentally freezes Anna’s heart. Not knowing what to do, she kicks Anna, Olaf, and Kristoff out.

As Anna’s hair begins to turn white and we see her slowly give in to the freeze, Kristoff takes her to the Grand Pabbie, who reveals that an act of true love is the only thing that can save her. Here, ordinarily, when we hear that true love is the answer, we are quick to think Hans!!

A true love’s kiss from Hans is the only act that can break the spell. We see the characters jump to this conclusion as she is rushed back to him. However, when they arrive, they learn that Hans was not the prince charming they thought him to be when he reveals to Anna that he actually wants to overthrow both sisters and take Arendelle.

A beautiful castle backdrop can elevate this part. Start by renting our Frozen Ice Castle, which portrays a castle in a frigid landscape under a starry night. Set upon a snowy hill, it is depicted as an imposing structure with many windows, battlements, and turrets. The foothills and the surrounding environment are dotted with snowy trees.

The mountains in the background are seemingly frozen in time from the glacial conditions brought about by winter or by an icy magical spell.

Another great option is our Ice Castle Exterior. This backdrop depicts a majestic palace made of ice sitting atop a large rocky mountain covered in snow.

On either side of the ice castle, you see more snow-covered mountains. A few pine trees can also be seen in the landscape scenery. Snowflakes and white clouds partially cover the otherwise blue sky behind it.

Power of True Sisterly Love

As a result, Hans captures Elsa and brings her back to Arendelle, where they meet up with Anna, whom he has imprisoned. Fortunately, Olaf manages to set Anna free, and she finds Elsa and Hans about to go toe to toe after Elsa had broken free of her chains. Hans attempts to convince her that she is the one who killed Anna, and she is next. Right when he is about to kill Elsa, Anna bravely jumps in harm’s way to protect Elsa and is frozen solid.

However, in a miraculous turn of events, Anna starts to melt! Turns out that Anna’s willingness to sacrifice her life for her sister is one of the ultimate acts of true love.

Happy Ending

When they realize that Elsa’s magic is controlled by love, Elsa ends the winter, and the sisters can now love one another without fear and can finally heal from their past. Elsa and Anna learn, as does the audience, that sibling love can be a powerful force of nature and can be the one thing that can save us in the end.
