History Theatre / Frozen2018

* DarkerAndEdgier: Downplayed, as it's not that much darker than the original. However, the musical does have racier jokes and [[spoiler:at one point Elsa contemplates suicide]], so it's definitely darker than the moviemovie.

* WTHCostumingDepartment: MANY people were displeased when Elsa changed from her iconic dress to pants from "Monster" to the end of the show. A particularly weird example, as there was seemingly no reason for this change.

* AdaptationalExpansion: The show focuses on Anna and Elsa's childhood a bit longer than the film, with their parents playing much more prominent roles in the prologue. Sadly enough, their parents are killed while the princesses are ''still children'' in this version.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Even though it's just a facade, Hans acts a lot more {{Adorkable}} and awkward this time around; this makes his eventual [[EvilAllAlong reveal]] all the more jarring.

Not to be confused with the shorter ''Frozen--Live at the Hyperion'' stage musical at [[DisneyThemeParks Disney California Adventure]].

* HonestJohnsDealership: Oaken promises Kristoff that his usual overpriced equipments and gear are free of charge... if they all die from the eternal winter. If not, then Kristoff owes 10,000 kroner to Oaken.

** The trolls are now human (or at least human''oid'') characters. Additionally, they arrived to the royal family rather than the royal family coming to them. Consequently, Kristof's MinorKidroduction is cut due to being a unnecessary detail that would interrupt the flow of the story.

* HonestJohnsDealership: Oaken promises Kristoff that his usual overpriced equipments and gear are free of charge... if they all die from the eternal winter. If they all survive, however, then Kristoff owes 10,000 kroner to Oaken.

** Possibly due to being the most iconic song of the entire film, "Let it Go" is saved for the finale of Act I rather than happening immediately after Elsa flees the kingdom. As a result, much of Act I is centered around Anna and Kristoff searching for clues of Elsa's whereabouts, building up suspense of her final destination and decision.

* AdaptationalHeroism: {{Downplayed|Trope}} with the Duke of Weselton. Though he's still a villainous weasel with sexist attitude, the Duke here is at least willingly to brave the treacherous mountains along with Hans to find Elsa [[DirtyCoward rather than remain behind]] and let his henchmen do the dirty work like he did in the film.

** The wolf chase has been cut out entirely, and replaced with a new duet for Anna and Kristoff.

* CurseCutShort[=/=]SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion: There's this gem of a line from "When Everything Falls Apart" (which was cut sometime before the closing of the Denver production, but the line remains as a piece of dialogue).

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Through AdaptationalSpeciesChange. Grand Pabbie, Bulda, and the trolls are now taller, human-like creatures called the Hidden Folk, a far cry from the tiny, big eared characters that they are in the film. Pabbie himself is now a muscular, long-haired man with a BadassBeard.

* AdaptationalExpansion: The show focuses on Anna and Elsa's childhood a bit longer than the film, with their parents playing much more prominent roles in the prologue. Sadly enough, the parents are killed while the princesses are ''still children'' in this version.

* AgeLift: The Duke of Weselton, a grey-haired old man in the original movie, is portrayed as a younger character here.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: "Hygge" ends with a chorus line of Oaken's customers coming out for one final dance break... while they're completely naked in the sauna. Granted, the actors do wear body suits and use large fig leaves to comically "censor" their private parts during the dance.

** As previously mentioned, the trolls are now human (or at least human''oid'') characters.
* VillainSong: Prince Hans gets two solos in the show, "Hans of the Southern Isles" and a reprise, although they aren't particularly villainous. The first song is a very sympathetic, friendly introduction to the character, while the second is a TriumphantReprise that he sings when he leads the search for Anna and Elsa.

* PlayingGertrude: Anna is supposed to be three years younger than Elsa. Patti Murin, who plays Anna, is a year ''older'' than Caissie Levy, who plays Elsa.

* RaceLift: In the original Broadway cast, King Agnarr and Kristoff are played by black actors James Brown III and Jelani Alladin, Queen Iduna is played by Korean-American actress Ann Sanders, and the standby for Anna is black actress Aisha Jackson (whose wig is a darker red shade when performing as Anna).

* KarmaHoudini: Unlike the animated film, [[spoiler: the Duke of Weselton (during the Denver production) does not get deported from the kingdom. After Elsa brings back summer and asks her subjects if everyone is ok, the Duke joins the rest of her subjects in bowing to her, symbolizing the kingdom's acceptance of their Queen.]]

Following the success of Creator/{{Disney}}'s critically-acclaimed animated film ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'', a [[ScreenToStageAdaptation Broadway musical adaptation]] began development back in 2014, a mere year after the release of the original movie. With Jennifer Lee (writer and director of the movie) returning to write the book and Kristen and Robert Lopez returning to pen 13 brand new songs, the show premiered in Denver for a 2017 preview run, and is set to officially open on Broadway on March 22, 2018.

* RaceLift: In the original Broadway cast, King Agnarr and Kristoff are played by black actors James Brown III and Jelani Alladin. Anna's OBC standby is black actress Aisha Jackson.
