LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill. - eTradeWire -- By William S. Bike

An intrepid band of plucky characters on a mission is a time-honored plot device, and it works well in the Marriott Theatre's production of Disney's Frozen: The Broadway Musical.

The story features two princesses, Anna and Elsa, the latter of whom becomes queen of the realm of Arendelle. Elsa's magical ability to create a frozen world appears once she ascends to the throne and because she cannot control her powers, she flees into the mountains, causing Anna to follow her to bring her home with the help of ice harvester Kristoff, reindeer Sven, and snowman Olaf.

The play starts out with the two princesses as children. Evelyn Dorough as Young Anna and Tessa Mae Pundsack as Young Elsa do a great job acting, and even a better job singing—they can really belt out a tune.

The scene quickly morphs to the adulthood of Elsa, played by Morgan Anita Wood, and Anna, played by Chloe Nadon-Enriquez. Elsa's coronation day adds new characters including Anna's love interest, Hans, played by Justin Albinder, and the Duke of Weselton, played by Steven Strafford.

After Elsa's flight, Anna pursues her with the help of David Moreland as Kristoff, Nick Berninger as Olaf, and Garret Lutz as Sven. More than a dozen others perform as the ensemble.

As is typical with a Marriott Theatre production, the singing and dancing are of the highest quality and highly energetic. The special effects range from the sublime in the creation of snow, ice, and winter light, to the hilarious (how Berninger portrays Olaf and Lutz portrays Sven).

One might expect a simple story out of such a Disney fairy tale, but the show takes some surprising twists and turns late in the second act.

The Frozen schedule is as follows: Wednesdays at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m.; Thursdays at 7 p.m.; Fridays at 7:30 p.m.; Saturdays at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.; and Sundays at 1 p.m. and 5 p.m., with select Thursday performances at 1 p.m.
