Character Breakdown:
Young Anna
Young Anna and Anna are all the young Princess of Arendelle at different ages. Filled with a tremendous amount of light, energy, and love, Anna is a hopelessly optimistic extrovert at all ages, but longs for connection with others, especially her sister, Elsa. A determined princess requires a strong singer with great comic timing.
Gender: female
Vocal range top: B4
Vocal range bottom: A3
Young Elsa
Young Elsa and Elsa are all the elder Princess of Arendelle at different ages. Next in line for the throne, Elsa has been born with magical powers that can overwhelm her when she becomes afraid and harm others if not handled with care. Fearful of hurting anyone, Elsa becomes anxious and withdrawn before eventually learning to take control of, and become confident in, her powers which she masterfully uses to manipulate the Snow Chorus.
Gender: female
Vocal range top: B4
Vocal range bottom: B3
ELSA | Female | Any Ethnicity | Age: 20 - 35 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. This is a physically and vocally demanding role for a strong musical theatre belter.
ANNA | Female | Any Ethnicity | Age: 20 - 35 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 is equally fierce. This is a physically and vocally demanding role for a strong musical theatre belter.
KRISTOFF | Male | Any Ethnicity | Age: 20 - 35 His sarcastic exterior hides a man with a big heart and a 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. Kirstoff was raised by the Hidden Folk, so he doesn’t always know the rules of polite society, and doesn’t really care to learn. This is a baritone role with some singing, but mostly needs to be a strong actor!
HANS | Male | Any Ethnicity | Age: 20 - 35 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. This is a baritone role with some singing, but mostly needs to be a strong actor!
*OLAF | Any Gender | Any Ethnicity | Age: Timeless A little nice, a little naughty, with a big, round belly and a big, bouncy butt, Olaf is a loyal friend who loves summer…and warm hugs. He is joy, personified, and although he might not seem like the brightest toy in the toybox, he usually manages to be the most observant and insightful being in the room! Olaf has one big song in the tenor range, and must be an actor with incredible comedic instincts.
IMPORTANT OLAF NOTE: The actor playing Olaf will be manipulating an Olaf puppet, similar to the portrayal in the original Broadway production. This actor will need to have strong vocal characterization, as well as the ability to bring a puppet to life!
*SVEN | Any Gender | Any Ethnicity | Age: A Middle Aged Reindeer We don’t get much of Sven’s backstory, but we do know that he is incredibly loyal to Kristoff, and 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. He is generally standoffish around new people, but if you make it into his inner circle, he is your friend for life.
IMPORTANT SVEN NOTE: The actor playing Sven will be manipulating a “Sven Suit” that requires significant physical strength, stamina, and flexibility. Sven does not have any spoken dialogue or sung music, but he DOES make vocalizations throughout the show.
OAKEN | Male | Any Ethnicity | Age: 30 - 50 A good natured salesperson, true Hygge believer, and head of a very large family! Sings the big Act Two opening number with joyful abandon!
WESTLETON | Male | Any Ethnicity | Age: 30 - 60 Weasleton? No Westleton! 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 for an actor with excellent comic timing and no fear of making a total fool of himself for our entertainment.
BULDA | Female | Any Ethnicity | Age: 30 - 50 The matriarch of the Hidden Folk. Wields magical powers and recognizes magic in others. Loves Kristoff, and has a connection with 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.
PABBIE | Male | Any Ethnicity | Age: 30 - 50 The patriarch of the Hidden Folk. Wields magical powers and recognizes magic in others. Loves Kristoff, and has a connection with 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.
QUEEN IDUNA & KING AGNAAR | Any Ethnicity | Age: 30 - 50 The rulers of Arandelle and parents of Elsa and Anna. They love their daughters and their kingdom, and will risk everything to keep their children and their people safe.
ENSEMBLE: For Ensemble members, we are looking for strong singer/movers who can physically portray a wide variety of characters in the production. Ensemble members must be team players who bring a positive attitude and a strong work ethic to rehearsal and performances. A love for all things Frozen is a bonus.
