DISNEY’S FROZEN (Musical). Music and lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, and book by Jennifer Lee. PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. October 5 -16.

Along with handsome mountain man Kristoff and his trusty reindeer, Sven, Anna goes in search of her sister, Elsa, trapped in the eternal winter kingdom of Arendelle. It’s an icy world of her own making; Elsa has magical powers that both frighten her and protect her from destroying those she loves. As any young Disney fan will tell you, the plot of Frozen is about as simple as a snowball. But the joy of the story comes from an impressively well-rounded score–including a dozen new songs for this Broadway adaptation – by songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. As only Disney could pull it off, the staged production astounds audiences with special effects, spectacular choreography and mind-blowing theatrics. Frozen, nominated for three Tony Awards, slaloms onto the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust stage at the Benedum. 7:30 p.m. 237 7th St., Cultural District. (C.P.O.)
