Frozen, Disney's 53rd animated feature based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Snow Queen, opened over the weekend to record-breaking numbers. The movie centers on Princess Anna (voiced by Kristen Bell) and her race to find her sister, Elsa (voiced by Idina Menzel) before the kingdom of Arendelle becomes stuck in eternal winter.
Not only does the movie star the voice talents of Broadway great Idina Menzel, it also features the resident Prince of Broadway, Santino Fontana from Rogers + Hammerstein's Cinderella as Prince Hans. Josh Gad who won a Tony Award for his portrayal of Elder Cunningham in The Book of Mormon plays the voice of Olaf the snowman. Kristoff is voiced by Jonathon Groff, who originated the role of Melchior Gabor in Spring Awakening and appeared in several episodes of Glee as Jesse St. James.
Along with phenonmenal singers, the soundtrack will offer music written by Tony Award winner Robert Lopez, the composer of The Book of Mormon and Avenue Q.
Combine all of that talent with Disney's storytelling skills and you have a movie that is sure to charm movie-goers of all ages!
