Frozen The Musical is FINALLY here in Adelaide until 31 July 2022 and WOW what a show! If you feel like you need something uplifting and magical in your life about now (and I mean…..it’s been a LONG couple of years right) please book yourself some tickets to see it. It’s an absolute delight.
Adapted from the 2013 Oscar-winning film, the story of Elsa, Anna, Hans, Kristoff, Sven and of course Olaf is truly brought to life on stage in this truly magical show. The story stays mostly true to the movie with all the songs you know ALL of the words to, plus some new ones that are just as catchy. The musical is by the same producers as The Lion King, Mary Poppins and Aladdin (which toured Adelaide a few years ago and completely sold out) so that’s the kind of show you can expect from Frozen.
The sets are incredible and Holy snowball the costumes! When Elsa arrives to belt out Let it Go there were tears. A combination of joy, nostalgia and the 18,000 Swarovski crystals that make up Elsa dress shining into my eyeballs, what a moment! The performances were both individually and collectively faultless. The singing is incredible, the dancing is fabulous, it’s funny, it’s emotional, it’s big, it’s shiny and is as Hygge and Hygge gets (you’ll have to see it to understand that reference).
So the big question is…….Is this a show for kids?
The answer. Yes!………and no.
The show is 2.5 hours long and if you’re little ones (under 5’s) are anything like my 3 year old, that’s way too long to sit still in one spot. In saying that, I did sit next to a 5 year old who sat completely mesmerised for the entire performance, but I would say that anyone over 8 will enjoy it most, and it’s particularly special, if like my 10 year old, your kids were little when the movie was first released and can now go back as “big kids” to experience it live on stage. My 10 year old and her best friend are still raving about it. It was “the best thing ever” apparently. (They’re not wrong!)
It really is a show for adults to enjoy though. Book in that baby sitter and take your partner for date night, round up your girlfriends for a fun night out, take your mum for a girls night out, take your theatre loving Dad for his birthday.
It was brilliant. We loved it. Go see it! Gees it’s good to see a live performance again.
Frozen the Musical is playing a limited season at the Adelaide Festival Centre from May 26 with matinee and evening shows available.
