This isn’t ‘Frozen’ for adults, a dark new take on ‘Frozen’, or a radical reinvention by spectacle like ‘The Lion King’. But it’s a thoughtful, attractive and human spin that manages to balance a Drury Lane-size spectacle. If the film is a pre-school classic, the musical is maybe a couple of years more grown-up.

The production takes a few scenes to come into its own. Gradually, however, it grows to become its own magical thing. Barks’s performance ... is a far more emotionally expressive princess than in the film. The Oscar-winning power ballad Let It Go grows in strength here, saturated with emotional drama.
