Some shows just feel like summer. While the outside temperatures may argue, we’re excited to step into the world of Disney’s Frozen ~ complete with snow, sisters, reindeer, trolls and, of course, one very optimistic snowman.
Frozen is certainly beloved for its music and magic, but at its core, this is a story about love in its truest form ~ the kind that shows up, forgives, protects and keeps trying. It is a story about finding your voice, learning who you are and discovering that sometimes the bravest action is to open the door again.
Town Theatre is especially excited to share this production as it unites so many of the things we love most: young performers and seasoned actors, families working side by side, beautiful technical elements, heart-thumping musical moments and a story that reaches every generation.
Leading the way are sisters Elsa, portrayed by Sara Slaughter (She Loves Me) and Anna, taken by Mary Jayne Davis (Grease). Audiences will enjoy seeing Kristoff, in the hands of Alex Cowsert (Beautiful), and his sidekick Sven, played by Town newcomer Billie Redner. And we can’t forget the forever melting Olaf, warmly played by Sofie Jones (in her Town main stage debut) and Hans, the polished prince of the Southern Isles, carried by Nathan Jackson (The Secret Garden). Alongside a wonderful ensemble, these actors help create the world audiences know and love while making the show feel right at home on the Town Theatre stage.
This production will bring an extra sparkle to the audience experience with special LED wristbands that help transform the theatre into the icy kingdom of Arendelle. As the story unfolds, these glowing bands will allow guests to become part of the magic, creating a shared theatrical moment that reaches beyond the stage and into the seats.
Town Theatre is also proud to offer a sensory-friendly performance of Frozen on Saturday, July 18 at 3:00 PM. This performance is designed to welcome audience members who may benefit from a more relaxed environment. With thoughtful adjustments to lighting, sound and overall atmosphere, this performance helps ensure that even more families can experience the joy, music and heart of this beautiful story together.
