Children's Theatre can't let it go, extends run for 'Frozen' musical
Less than a month after its debut with the Children's Theatre Company, "Disney's Frozen The Broadway Musical" has been extended at the Minneapolis theater. Seven additional performances of the musical will hit the stage, keeping "Frozen" running through June 22. Based on the once-ubiquitous Disney film Frozen, the musical, which features new songs and flashy costume changes, was originally scheduled to close on June 15 but will get the extension "due to extremely high popular demand," the theater announced on Tuesday. The additional performances will take place on these dates: Wednesday, June 18, at 2 p.m. Friday, June 20, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, June 21, at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Sunday, June 22, at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. That run includes a sensory-friendly performance on Friday, June 20, at 2 p.m. The Children's Theatre's production, directed by Tiffany Nichole Greene, features eye-catching sets and frequent outbursts of laughter from kids in the crowd. Its staging of the Tony-winning musical allows some of the more subtle themes from the movie to shine through, even when they add a touch of darkness to the journey of Anna and Elsa. Tickets for the complete run of "Disney's Frozen The Broadway Musical" are on sale now.

Children's Theatre's "Frozen" musical though a kid's eyes
Nick here. I'm far from a qualified theater critic, but what I lack in that arena I make up for in expertise about Elsa, Anna and the "Frozen" franchise that has made Disney billions and cost me hundreds. That's because I have three daughters who have seen the movie dozens of times, attended the "Frozen" version of Disney on Ice and patronized amateur stage productions of the film. That's not to mention all the dresses, wigs, dolls and other "Frozen" merch in our house. Zoom in: I took my oldest, who is 6, to the Children's Theatre on Saturday night for the Broadway musical version of the movie about the Scandinavian princess sisters. What she's saying: In a packed theater surrounded by other little girls donning their baby blue dresses, mine was impressed by the puppeteers playing Olaf the snowman and Sven the reindeer. But her two favorite parts were the transformation of Elsa during "Let it Go" and the "Hygge" song, which isn't in the original movie but is a Broadway variation on the Oaken's Trading Post scene. Between the lines: Her dad appreciated the special effects, stunning sets and a fun little side scene early where Hans is putting the moves on a coronation guest, foreshadowing the later revelation that he's a slime ball.
