Think you know Frozen? Well, if you’ve only seen the movie version of the adventures of Anna and Elsa, then you only know half the story – and half the songs. Prepare to be enchanted once again in this touring version of the Broadway musical (and don’t miss our online interview with Caroline Bowman, the singer who has made “Let It Go” all her own). Let’s just hope they can bring some of Arendelle’s Scandinavian weather with them to take the edge off this summery heat. – Richard Whittaker

Stand aside, Anya Taylor-Joy and Gwyneth Paltrow. Heck, I’ll include Alicia Silverstone in there as well. Get back, ladies, because there’s a new Emma in town. Austin Playhouse presents their own updated Emma, giving that meddling matchmaker a new twist in the old setting. Emma might know what’s best for everybody else, but can she see what’s right in front of her? You probably know the answer, but this guarantees a laugh-a-minute journey along the way. Romance and absurdity – a recipe for greatness. – Cat McCarrey

I have nothing but respect for my sovereign ruler of Texas, H-E-B. Setting a play there sounds like a stroke of genius. A few lucky souls may have been inducted into the tale of turbulent grocery visits at FronteraFest, where playwright Raul Garza debuted this as a short play to great acclaim. But the extended version is now on the market, getting deeper into the nitty-gritty lives of three different grocery store people. Who knows what will happen, but whatever does, I’m sure H-E-B will take good care of any physical or emotional needs. – Cat McCarrey
