Disney’s Frozen JR. is coming to the stage at Kathy Miller Auditorium at Mitchell High School.
The cast of Frozen Jr. is comprised of local K-12th graders who have been working on the production for the last nine weeks. The 75-minute musical, designed for school-aged performers, is based on the 2013 Disney film and the 2018 Broadway adaptation.
The production includes about 55 student performers and technical theater students led by director Chelsea Wilson Thayer.
“Creating a high-caliber production in only nine weeks is a tremendous task and I could not be more proud of these incredible students and the support of their families,” Thayer said. “Many of them have put in over 100 hours of their time rehearsing for this show. Please come out and support your local schools and performing arts in Mitchell County. This will be a show worth melting for.”
If you want to build a snowman, you’ll love the fanciful and heartwarming stage adaptation of the top-grossing animated film of all time. Viewers will join Anna, Elsa and other favorite characters as they embark on an epic, ice-filled journey of self-discovery, camaraderie and the real meaning of true love.
Adapted for young performers, the musical includes favorite Frozen songs such as “Love Is an Open Door,” “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” and “Let It Go,” as well as new songs from the Broadway production.
Performances are at Kathy Miller Auditorium on March 3 and 4 at 7 p.m. and March 5th at 3 p.m. Tickets are general admission and sold at the door an hour prior to showtime.
Adults are $12, students are $6 and children under 5 are free.
Disney’s Frozen JR. is presented through special arrangement and all materials are provided by Music Theatre International.
