Frozen: The Musical Gets 2025 Disney+ Release Window At D23 Expo; DEETS

As a long-time devotee of all things Disney, this news about Frozen: The Musical hitting Disney+ in 2025 has sent me into a whirlwind of excitement! Growing up with the original film, I’ve watched it countless times, and now to see it transformed into a stage production is nothing short of magical.


Disney has disclosed plans to unveil a filmed adaptation of the popular musical Frozen, starring Samantha Barks as Elsa, on their streaming platform, Disney+, in 2025. This announcement was made during the Disney Entertainment Showcase panel at the D23: Ultimate Fan Event, and was followed by an enchanting performance of the iconic song Let It Go by Samantha Barks herself.

“Frozen: The Musical” is a critically acclaimed spectacle, transforming the cherished tale into reality through stunning visual effects, humor, and memorable tunes. This production has mesmerized viewers of all demographics with its awe-inspiring stage design and indelible performances.

In a tale inspired by the widely-loved Disney movie that marked its 10th anniversary recently, we find two sisters grappling with the grief of losing their parents and the older one possessing ice abilities. This elder sister, Queen Elsa, unknowingly triggers her powers, leading to an unending winter in the kingdom of Arendelle.

Anna, her sibling, embarks on a quest to locate Elsa and safeguard their home. During this adventure, both sisters uncover the truth that only an authentic act of affection can melt a heart encased in ice. This production boasts music and lyrics penned by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, script by Jennifer Lee, and is orchestrated by Michael Grandage.

The musical made its London debut in 2021 following triumphant performances on Broadway and a tour across North America. Earlier this year, it was captured at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane for a future release. The movie adaptation is set to hit Disney Plus screens in 2025, with the specific launch date yet to be disclosed.

The musical is brimming with surprises, captivating characters, and powerful melodies. Besides well-known tunes such as “For the First Time in Forever,” “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?,” and “Let it Go,” the performance also boasts twelve freshly composed songs tailored exclusively for this stage production.

The lineup for this production has Samantha Barks playing Elsa, Laura Dawkes as Anna, Jammy Kasongo portraying Kristoff, Craig Gallivan in the role of Olaf, and Oliver Ormson as Hans. In addition, Richard Frame takes on the Duke of Weselton, while Mikayla Jade and Ashley Birchall share the role of Sven. The ensemble boasts a number of skilled performers such as Rhianne Alleyne, Gabrielle Cocca, Justin-Lee Jones, and others.

As a devoted admirer, despite the upcoming closure of the London production later this year and the brief run of the Broadway version due to the pandemic, I’ve been fortunate enough to witness Frozen: The Musical on its tour across North America, gracing numerous stages worldwide.
