ELSA – 20s – Reserved and hesitant, yet inherently regal, Elsa makes a stunning new Queen of Arendelle. However, she has been trained for over a decade to fear and hide her magical powers. Strong belter.
ANNA – late teens/20s – Optimistic, enthusiastic, and slightly disheveled Princess of Arendelle. Naturally funny and courageously fearless, her greatest flaw – and her greatest strength – is her faith in love. Strong belter with soprano/mix.
KRISTOFF – 20s – A human orphan raised by Hidden Folk in the forest, Kristoff is a self-reliant ice-seller & Mountain Man whose best friend is a reindeer, for whom he provides a voice so they can have conversations. Kristoff is naturally warm with a good heart, although he’s circumspect about Anna and her mountaintop mission. Baritone.
HANS – 20s – The youngest of thirteen brothers, Prince Hans of the Southern Isles is a real charmer – as handsome as handsome gets. Anna falls for his open wittiness on the spot – he gets her. Tenor.
OLAF – 20s – A big-voiced snowman created by Elsa’s magic, Olaf is pure innocence, completely content to be anywhere, doing anything. Great singer.
WESELTON – 50s – A chauvinistic, intolerant diplomat, the Duke of Weselton seeks any opportunity to get ahead. He seizes on Elsa’s “accident” to spread fear and discredit the entire royal family of Arendelle. Short (under 5’7”) Baritone.
SVEN - The lovable reindeer & sidekick to Kristoff. Funny, inquisitive and intuitive.
Dancers/Acrobats with strong upper body and core strength and stamina to operate a full body puppet. Height minimum 5’10” max 6’2”.
YOUNG ELSA – 11 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. Soprano.
YOUNG ANNA – 8 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. Soprano.
