Move over Idina Menzel, there’s a new “Let It Go” in town.

The cast recording for the new Broadway musical Frozen dropped on digital platforms on Friday, and with it came an official music video of star Caissie Levy — who plays Elsa, the character Menzel voiced in the 2013 film — singing the show’s signature song “Let It Go.”

Of course, fans of the hit Disney movie are familiar with the tune. Penned by the husband-and-wife team of Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, it spent 33 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at no. 5, and earned the pair an Oscar for Best Original Song.

Though it’s easily Frozen‘s most recognizable song, Levy’s version of it for Broadway has been publicly kept under wraps (save for those who have seen the show). Leading up to opening night, Disney instead released previews for four of the musical’s 12 new songs — “Monster,” “What Do You Know About Love?” “Dangerous to Dream,” and “True Love” — skipping “Let It Go” until now.

It was well worth the wait.

Levy’s powerhouse voice hits all the right notes of Elsa’s emotional transformation, and the orchestra soars on the recording — doubled here from what audience members at Broadway’s St. James Theatre normally hear. 

As for the video, it not only takes viewers into the recording studio with Levy but also backstage, where she and cast members Patti Murin (Anna), Jelani Alladin (Kristoff), Greg Hildreth (Olaf), and John Riddle (Hans) are all prepping for curtain.

Frozen is up for three Tony Awards this year, including best musical.
