This ice musical blends the worlds of Frozen and Encanto under the long-running Disney On Ice banner, produced by Feld Entertainment.

Two stories, one rink

It now pairs Arendelle's story with the Madrigal family's casita era, a fresh chapter for the franchise that shifts the arc toward two shorter acts instead of one. Expect a focused run of hits like Let It Go, Into the Unknown, We Don't Talk About Bruno, and Surface Pressure with skating breaks that let kids breathe. The crowd skews multi-generational: kids in Elsa capes or Mirabel glasses, parents with souvenir snowflake wands, and relatives ready to sing along without irony.

Crowd snapshots, small surprises

A neat detail: many principal skaters are former national-level competitors, and some costumes hide low-profile padding so lifts look effortless on ice. Another behind-the-scenes note is that touring rinks are cooled by portable chillers, which keep edges crisp even in warm arenas. These song and staging expectations come from prior runs and rehearsal reports, so what you see in your city might shift.

The Living Room Comes Rink-Side at Disney On Ice presents Frozen & Encanto

This crowd is expressive but considerate, more sing-along than scream-along, with moments of hush when Anna or Mirabel speaks.

Dress-up as a welcome norm

You see sparkly Elsa dresses, Mirabel's embroidered skirts, and a surprising number of snowflake beanies on adults who lean into the theme. Many kids clutch spinning wands, and the wave of lights during Let It Go becomes its own gentle chorus. Families often practice movie lines, so the first 'We don't talk about...' sets off a playful 'Bruno!' call that stops right on cue.

Little rituals, big grins

Merch skews practical for the ride home, like blankets and cups, and you hear parents trading notes on which character got the big jump tonight. The tone feels like a neighborhood night out more than a spectacle, with shared smiles when a lift sticks and calm patience when the rink resets. It is a space where kids can try out fandom in public, and adults can enjoy polished craft without pretense.

How Disney On Ice presents Frozen & Encanto Sounds on Ice

Vocals are largely the film or cast recordings, mixed upfront so lyrics lead and kids can follow the melody without strain.

Music drives the edges

Arrangements are trimmed into tight medleys, with extra bars added where lifts or throws need safe setup and landing. Skaters skate the beat hard, so tempos sit a touch slower than the soundtrack during tricky sequences, then push faster for group spins to lift the room. When the cast speaks live, mics are set to sit under the music like narration, keeping the songs as the engine.

Small tweaks, big clarity

A cool insider detail: certain numbers shift key slightly on tour so the top notes feel strong while still matching safe choreography timing. The visual package sticks to bold color blocks, with cool blues for Arendelle and warm blooms for the Madrigals, letting the music tell you when to lean in. Expect clean cuts between scenes rather than long transitions, which keeps young fans locked on the next hook.

Kindred Stages for Disney On Ice presents Frozen & Encanto Fans

If you like the family-forward mix of skating and sing-along, Peppa Pig Live tends to draw similar ages and keeps pacing tight for short attention spans.

Sibling shows for the same stage of life

Fans of bright, character-driven humor should also check Bluey's Big Play, which trades songs for comedic timing but hits the same big-heart energy. For Sesame Street loyalists, Sesame Street Live brings classic teaching moments with dance breaks that feel cousin to this show's interludes. And if your kids blast nursery bops at home, Cocomelon Live has a simple, bouncy setup that mirrors how chorus hooks land in the ice sequences.

Why these lineups click

These tours share clean visuals, clear story beats, and polite volume levels, which makes crossing over between them easy on younger ears. Parents who value ensemble performance over solo star power will notice the same teamwork-first approach across all four.
