The Story

About the Show

In the kingdom of Arendelle, two sisters couldn't be more different. Elsa, the elder princess, was born with a breathtaking and terrifying gift: the power to create ice and snow with her bare hands. Fearful of hurting those she loves, she spent her childhood behind locked doors — hiding her powers from the world, and even from Anna, the little sister who adored her.

On the day of Elsa's coronation, one careless moment of emotion causes her powers to erupt in front of the entire kingdom. Exposed and overwhelmed, she flees into the frozen mountains — and accidentally plunges all of Arendelle into an eternal winter.

Anna refuses to give up on her sister. Armed with little more than optimism and stubbornness, she sets off into the icy wilderness, picking up unlikely companions along the way: Kristoff, a rugged ice harvester with a reindeer for a best friend; Sven, said reindeer; and Olaf, a warmhearted snowman who dreams, somewhat unfortunately, of experiencing summer.

Frozen is a story about the power of love — but not the kind you'd expect. It's about the bond between sisters, the courage to let people in, and the discovery that the greatest magic of all might just be the strength to be yourself.

Characters

Every role in Frozen brings something unique to the story — from royalty to snowmen to ancient trolls. Auditions for all characters will open soon.

🏔️
Kristoff
Ice Harvester
A rugged, no-nonsense ice harvester who reluctantly agrees to guide Anna into the frozen mountains. Gruff on the outside, fiercely loyal at heart — his unlikely friendship with Anna changes them both.
☃️
Olaf
The Snowman
A cheerful, naive snowman accidentally brought to life by Elsa's magic. He dreams with complete sincerity of experiencing summer — with no idea what that would actually mean for him. Pure comic joy.
🦌
Sven
Kristoff's Reindeer
Kristoff's devoted reindeer and best friend. Loyal, expressive, and more emotionally intelligent than his owner. Sven is the soul of the story's lighter moments.
🤴
Hans
Prince of the Southern Isles
A charming, handsome prince who sweeps Anna off her feet from the moment they meet. Attentive, kind, and seemingly perfect — though his true motivations run far darker than they first appear.
🎩
Duke of Weselton
Comic Villain
A pompous, scheming trade representative who uses Elsa's dangerous powers as a pretext to seize control of Arendelle. More bluster than brains, but dangerous in the wrong company.
🪨
Grand Pabbie
Troll Elder
The ancient, wise leader of the hidden troll colony who raised Kristoff as one of their own. He holds powerful secrets about Elsa's past — and a warning that shapes the entire story.
