ELSA - Female, 20s
Poised, regal and reserved, Queen Elsa of Arendelle lives in fear of her dangerous magical powers. To protect those she loves, especially her sister Anna, she closes herself off from the world and tries to suppress her ever growing powers. Strong belter. ANNA - Female, 20s Optimistic, enthusiastic, quirky Princess of Arendelle. Naturally funny, more daring than graceful, she is courageously fearless. Her greatest flaw – and her greatest strength – is her faith in love. Strong belter with soprano/mix. OLAF - Any gender, 20s A big-voiced snowman created by Elsa’s magic, Olaf is pure innocence with an outgoing personality, big heart, and impeccable comic timing. Bari-tenor. KRISTOFF - Male, 20s A rough around the edges, handsome outdoorsman and ice-cutter who sells his product to the kingdom of Arendelle. An orphan, raised by the Hidden People, his best friend is Sven, a reindeer, for whom he provides a voice so they can have conversations. Anna’s mountaintop mission brings them closer together and leads them to falling in love. Baritone. HANS - Male, 20s An extremely handsome royal from a neighboring kingdom, Hans is the youngest of thirteen brothers which made him feel practically invisible - and Anna can relate. Smart and chivalrous, he is also cunning and keeps his true ambition hidden. Tenor. WESELTON - Male, 50s What he lacks in stature he makes up for in petulance. When he learns of Elsa’s secret, he tries to turn her own kingdom against her - anything that might help him exploit Arendelle’s tradable goods. Small in stature. PABBIE - Male, 30s/50s Ageless, ancient, wise, charismatic, and gentle patriarch of the Hidden Folk. Baritone. OAKEN - Male, 40s Fun-loving, teddy-bear, family-man proprietor of Wandering Oaken’s Trading Post and Sauna. Excellent improv skills and comedic timing. Tenor SVEN A reindeer of few words, fiercely loyal pal to Kristoff, and loves giving the ice harvester a hard time. Performer with good comic timing and terrific physical acting skills who can devise a strong movement vocabulary to bring this furry charmer to life. Seeking local talent, 5 ft tall and under for the following roles: YOUNG ELSA – Female, 9-13 years old Bright, poised, elder princess of Arendelle who adores her younger sister. She aims to be a perfect daughter, but wrestles with a dangerous talent. Young Elsa has extensive stage time. Prior theatre experience is very helpful. Soprano. YOUNG ANNA – Female, 7-10 years old Energetic, free-spirited younger princess of Arendelle who dotes on every word and movement of Elsa. She is heartbroken when she is isolated from Elsa by their parents. Young Anna has extensive stage time. Prior theatre experience is very helpful. |
