(Keeping things extra faithful where the story's concerned, Oscar-winning Frozen director Jennifer Lee penned the book for Frozen: The Hit Broadway Musical.
Along with astonishing special effects to portray Elsa's icy powers, the theatrical show features 12 new songs written just for the stage by Academy Award winners Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, joining fan-favorite tunes like "For the First Time in Forever,” “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" and, of course, "Let It Go."
