Disney’s Frozen
FROZEN By Disney
For the first time in forever, experience the musical phenomenon that has taken the world by storm! Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature film, Disney’s Frozen includes all the film’s beloved songs by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, along with new music written exclusively for the stage.
In the beautiful mountainous kingdom of Arendelle, Princesses Anna and Elsa grow up sheltered inside their castle, isolated from the world and increasingly distant from each other. When Elsa is crowned queen, the magical powers she’s desperately tried to conceal from her sister take control, and she flees into the mountains. As a ferocious winter descends on Arendelle, Anna sets off on an epic journey to find Elsa and bring her home – with the help of hardworking ice harvester Kristoff, his loyal reindeer Sven, and a happy-go-lucky snowman named Olaf.
Full of magic, humor, and a stunning musical score, Frozen is a powerful tale of sisterhood, acceptance, and finding the real meaning of true love.
Little Shop of Horrors
Little Shop of Horrors - Broadway Version
A deviously delicious Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical, Little Shop of Horrors has devoured the hearts of theatre-goers for more than 30 years. Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, the creative geniuses behind Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin, created one of the most popular musicals in the world.
The meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a strange new plant he names “Audrey II” after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises Seymour fame, fortune, and romance as long as he keeps feeding it blood. As Audrey II grows, Seymour discovers the plant’s out-of-this-world origins and its terrifying plans for global domination.
The production is packed with unforgettable music, dark comedy, and over-the-top fun. Little Shop of Horrors is a wildly entertaining theatrical experience audiences will not want to miss.
Presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
