Set in the mythical kingdom of Arendelle, young sisters Elsa and Anna share a sisterly bond full of warmth and love until they are separated by an accident involving Elsa’s magical powers. Years later, as Elsa is crowned Queen of Arendelle, she panics and unleashes a blast of ice. Rather than cause another unfortunate accident, Elsa flees, which moves forward the prophecy of an eternal winter. Her sister, Anna, sets off to bring her back to their kingdom; setting into motion a magical and humorous adventure which includes mountain man Kristoff, reindeer Sven, and the sisters’ magical childhood snowman, Olaf. Inspired by Hans Christian Anderson’s fairy tale The Snow Queen, Disney’s Frozen, Jr. is based upon the 2013 animated film, and the 2018 hit Broadway production about hidden potential, true love, and the powerful bond of sisterhood.
