Halloween is just about here, but there is no denying the crisp chill in the air. Is winter arriving already? Oh, right, it’s just that Disney’s Frozen theatrical production has arrived in Salt Lake City! Seeing Broadway productions has always been one of my very favorite things to do and this past year and a half has had me missing it big time. I’m thrilled that even though I have relocated far from the lights of Broadway, the magic that occurs on stage can travel to us.

When I found out Disney’s Frozen was coming to the Eccles Theater, I knew my adorable niece and nephew needed to to see it*! They are huge fans of the movie, so probably the ones best suited to give their stamp of approval or their honest opinion of if it’s worth seeing. Let’s see what they thought!

Right now the Broadway musical of Disney’s Frozen is playing at Eccles Theater in Salt Lake City.  We decided to take the leap by bringing our 4 and 5 year olds to the show.  Like all 4 and 5 year olds, they are huge fans of the movie, so we thought, what the heck, it’s worth the risk.  Spoiler alert, it was worth it! 

Eccles is a beautiful, state of the art theater that brings in awesome Broadway talent every year; however, this show seemed to up the ante.  To start, the cast was truly amazing.  The performers for Elsa and Anna took the original songs and made them even better.  We heard them sung the entire car ride leaving the theater, as well.  That part needed some work.  On top of the original songs, there were a handful of new big musical numbers that were every bit as good as the ones you already know. 

The costumes were to die for and the set was jaw dropping.  There were a few times my kids couldn’t tell whether or not real magic was happening up on stage.  The performances were funny and heartwarming and delivered the feel- good ending you go to the theater for. 

I can’t say it enough, our kids loved it.  They were entertained the entire time.  My husband and I loved the show as well.  Definitely one to take the whole family to!

Sounds to me that the show was definitely a hit! Talking to them afterwards, you could clearly see that the show was so much fun for them. I can’t think of a better way to kick off the holiday season than by creating your own special family memories like these. You can pick up your own tickets to the show and see it during this limited engagement while it is in Salt Lake City.
