Disney On Ice presents Frozen comes to Manchester

The latest Disney On Ice spectacular will be coming to Manchester this October and will be bringing the Academy Award^® winning and number one animated feature film of all time, Disney’s Frozen, to life!

 Disney On Ice presents Frozen is set to mesmerise audiences of all ages when it opens at the  Manchester Arena tonight! Fans will be able to see their favourite characters, including Anna, Olaf, Kristoff, and Sven come to life on the ice! And of course young and old will get to sing along with the familiar musical masterpieces including “Let it Go,” “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” and “Fixer Upper.” (You know you know them word for word!)

  Anna, a girl with an extraordinary heart, embarks on an epic journey to find her sister, the magical Elsa, who is determined to remain secluded as she finally feels free to test the limits of her powers.    Rugged mountain man Kristoff, his loyal reindeer Sven, the lovable and hilarious snowman Olaf and the mystical trolls help Anna along the way in this story about love conquering fear. 

 Plus, attendees can warm up for the show and learn the snowman dance, during the Fit to Dance pre-show. Disney On Ice’s Fit to Dance is a family programme, which aims to inspire families to have fun and be active through storytelling and dance.

Frozen directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee add, “Seeing audiences around the world embrace Frozen has been the experience of a lifetime.  And to now have the chance to consult with the talented team at Feld Entertainment and watch their creation come to life on ice, is thrilling.”

Fans of traditional Disney characters Mickey and Minnie won't be disappointed as they still have a part to play, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse take the audience through the magical story based in Arendelle, with special appearances by beloved Disney princesses and favorite characters from Disney•Pixar’s Toy Story and Finding Nemo and Disney’s The Lion King, who come together to prove that true love is the greatest power of all.  

As you are probably aware my family are huge Disney fans and not just the children! We have been lucky enough to attend Disney on Ice the last few times it has visited Manchester and this show looks to be the best yet, especially for my Frozen mad five year old! I'll be sure to come back and update you once we've seen it!

Disney On Ice presents Frozen is appearing across the UK from today, 13th October to 30th December visiting Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham, Nottingham, Glasgow, Liverpool, Aberdeen, Sheffield and London. Tickets for the show are on sale now.

We have been offered tickets to tonight's show in exchange for this post.

Singalong with Sing-a-long-a Frozen

Like most children, my two are huge fans of Disney's hit movie Frozen, they especially love the songs and we can regularly be found singing along to the sound track CD in the car!

You can imagine how delighted they were when we were invited to the attend the Singalong Frozen show at the Lowry Theatre this half term.

I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from the production, I knew we would be watching the movie and joining in with the musical numbers, but what we actually got was so much more!

When we arrived the theatre was rather predictably full of very cute little Annas, Elsas and Olafs, we were shown to our seats where we each found a free 'prop bag' containing a variety of goodies to help us enjoy the show.

The performance started with an introduction and warm up from our lovely host who gave us instructions on using our props and introduced two very special guests: Princesses Anna and Elsa of course!

The movie was shown in two halves with a twenty minute intermission ( ideal for toilet trips for little ones. ) As well as the song lyrics being shown on the big screen, the hostess and princesses would also come on stage for the songs to encourage everyone to sing along. The whole thing was really interactive and children were encouraged to boo, hiss and cheer as the different characters came on. It was far from the atmosphere of the cinema where we first watched Frozen, this is the ideal way for young frozen fans to see the movie on the big screen and be as noisy as they like!

Sing-a-long-a Frozen is aimed at children aged 5 + however I would say it is fine for younger frozen fans. I would warn though that the show does last a total of 2 hours 40 minutes including intermission so little ones may get a bit tired by the end...

Both my 4 year old daughter and my seven year old son thoroughly enjoyed the show from start to finish and have been talking about it none stop since! I would highly recommend the Sing-a-long-a Frozen showing to any Disney loving family as a really fun treat, ideal for half term! The show continues at The Lowry until 8th March and tickets start from just £12 per person when booking for a family of four. The show is also touring the country, find out when it comes to your nearest town on the Sing-a-long-a Frozen website.
