SEEKING:
ELSA (Female-presenting, Any ethnicity, 18+) Born with magical powers that she struggles to control, Elsa's fear of hurting others pushes her to hide from the world and distance herself from the people she loves most. Underneath all of the fear is a strong, determined leader, waiting for just enough warmth to step out of hiding and take her rightful place on the throne. Vocally demanding role, with a high belt.
ANNA (Female-presenting, Any ethnicity, 18+) Spunky, joyful, and charming, Anna defies social decorum and rules in favor of spreading her optimism and light throughout the Kingdom. She loves easily, but feels the rejection of her only sister deeply. She might not have the magical powers that Elsa wields, but her inner strength and resolve are equally fierce. Vocally demanding, with a high bright belt.
KRISTOFF (Male-presenting, Any ethnicity, 18+) His sarcastic exterior hides a man with a big heart and solid sense of right and wrong. Although he is a bit of a loner, Kristoff has developed a personal relationship with his reindeer, Sven, who has been known to intervene when Kristoff's stubbornness gets in the way of his best interests. Kristoff was raised by the Hidden Folk, so he doesn't always know the rules of polite society, and doesn't really care to learn. With Bari-Tenor vocal abilities.
HANS (Male-presenting, Any ethnicity, 18+) As the ambitious 13th son of a king, Hans is always on the lookout for opportunities to make a name for himself. He is charming, handsome, and extremely good at reading people - all of which he uses to achieve his own personal goals. With Bari-Tenor vocal abilities.
OLAF (Any gender, Any ethnicity, Timeless) Loyal snowman friend to Anna & Elsa, who loves summer and warm hugs. They are joy, personified, and although they might not seem like the brightest toy in the toybox, they usually manage to be the most observant and insightful being in the room! Olaf has one big song in the tenor key and possesses incredible comedic instincts; NOTE: Puppetry experience preferred.
DUKE OF WESELTON (Male-presenting, Any ethnicity, 30+) A Duke with a clear inferiority complex and the desire to climb the social ladder using whatever means are available to him. A comedic role, with excellent comedic timing and no fear of making a fool of himself.
OAKEN/ENSEMBLE (Male-presenting, Any ethnicity, 30+) A good-natured salesperson, true Hygge believer, and head of a very large family! Sings the big Act Two opening number with joyful abandon!
SVEN/ENSEMBLE (Any gender, Any ethnicity, 18+) Incredibly loyal reindeer to Kristoff, who has definitely adopted some of Kristoff's brusque sarcasm. That loyalty includes protecting him from physical harm - but also stepping in when Kristoff is making a bad choice. Generally standoffish around new people, but if you make it into their inner circle, they'll be your friend for life. Puppetry experience preferred.
PABBIE/ENSEMBLE (Male-presenting, Any ethnicity, 18+) The patriarch of the Hidden Folk. Wield magical powers and recognizes magic in others. Love Kristoff, and has a connection to the royal family of Arendelle, but chooses to live in a magical in between land outside the reach of humans. This role sings in a Baritone range.
BULDA/ENSEMBLE (Female-presenting, Any ethnicity, 18+) The matriarch of the Hidden Folk. Wield magical powers and recognizes magic in others. Love Kristoff, and has a connection to the royal family of Arendelle, but chooses to live in a magical in between land outside the reach of humans. This role sings in a Mezzo-Soprano range.
KING ANGAAR/ENSEMBLE (Male-presenting, Any ethnicity, 18+) Ruler of Arendelle and father to Elsa and Anna. He loves his daughters and their kingdom, and will risk everything to keep their children and people safe.
QUEEN IDUNA/ENSEMBLE (Female-presenting, Any ethnicity, 18+) Ruler of Arendelle and mother to Elsa and Anna. She loves her daughters and their kingdom, and will risk everything to keep their children and people safe.
