As fans eagerly await the arrival of Disney's stage adaptation to their hit animated film, today's
New York Post has exclusively shared a first look at Tony Award winning designer Christopher Oram's (WOLF HALL, HUGHIE) new costumes for Anna. The first is a green robe that the princess receives as a gift from the Hidden Folk, mystical creatures who take the place of the lovable trolls from the film. In addition,
Frozen fans can get their first look at climbing gear which Anna will wear as she ascends the mountain to Queen Elsa's Ice Palace. You can check out both images
