Get ready to let it go when Disney’s Frozen, the Tony-nominated Best Musical, returns to the Buell Theatre in Denver from June 19 through July 3. The musical was only supposed to be in the Mile High City from June 19 to 30, but tickets have been selling so fast, the Denver Center for the Performing Arts announced seven additional performances to meet the incredible demand.
The musical invites audiences to join Elsa, the snow queen with a frosty attitude, her fearless sister Anna and a quirky snowman named Olaf on a heartwarming adventure in the chilling kingdom of Arendelle. It’s a tale of sisterly love, magical mishaps and one unforgettable quest to thaw some frozen feelings.

With a score that includes beloved songs from the original Oscar-winning film and a dozen new numbers by the film’s songwriters, Oscar-winner Kristen Anderson-Lopez and EGOT winner Robert Lopez, Frozen promises an unforgettable theatrical experience. This long-awaited adaptation of the 2013 animated Disney movie first graced the stage during its pre-Broadway run at the Buell Theatre in 2017.
Following the success of The Little Mermaid‘s out-of-town tryout and the start of The Lion King‘s national tour, Disney’s Theatrical Division chose the Mile High City to fine-tune the creative aspects of Frozen before hitting Broadway. Frozen: The Musical was a labor of love, with a reported development cost of $25-30 million. The production made its highly anticipated Broadway debut in 2018, capturing the hearts of audiences with its captivating performances.

The show temporarily closed its curtains in March 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although Frozen: The Musical never returned to Broadway, its legacy lives on through international productions and touring versions, bringing the beloved story to audiences worldwide.
