BEVERLY — Whatever the weather this weekend, the cold shouldn’t bother audiences anyway as the Fort Frye High School Music Department presents “Disney’s Frozen: The Broadway Musical.”

Based on the original movie “Frozen,” this expanded stage adaptation brings the kingdom of Arendelle to life.

The musical follows sisters Elsa and Anna as they navigate the challenges of family, responsibility and Elsa’s mysterious magical powers. Along the way, audiences will meet memorable characters like the lovable snowman Olaf, the determined Kristoff and the charming Hans.

The production includes favorite songs from the film like “Let It Go,” along with music written specifically for the stage version.
