About the show:
Disney Theatrical Productions, under the direction of Thomas Schumacher, and Broadway In Detroit announced today that tickets for the long-awaited production of Disney’s Frozen will go on sale to the public on Friday, August 25 at 10:00 a.m. From the producer of The Lion King and Aladdin, Frozen, the Tony®-nominated Best Musical, will play a 3-week premiere engagement at The Detroit Opera House beginning Wednesday, November 29 with performances playing through Sunday, December 17.

Heralded by The New Yorker as “thrilling” and “genuinely moving,” Frozen has played smash engagements “thawing hearts from coast to coast!” (The Hollywood Reporter), and the critics agree, “It’s simply magical!” (LA Daily News).
“Disney’s struck gold! Sumptuous sets, gorgeous costumes, and plenty of special effects to wow the audience!” raves the New York Post. “With the magic, the dancing, and all those iconic tunes, Frozen was born to be a stage musical!” writes the Evening Standard. The Los Angeles Times declares “the North American tour is irresistible in its creativity and verve.”
