Which roles are being cast?

The production is in need of performers to fill the roles of all the 2013 Disney film’s main characters. They are also looking for understudies for these roles.

Here are the roles you could audition for.

Elsa

The Queen of Arendelle. She is in possession of magical powers that threaten to upend everything. Auditionees are to be in their 20s and exceptional singers with strong voices.

Anna

The younger sister of Elsa, Anna is optimistic, funny and fearless. The casting website says that her unwavering faith in love is her greatest strength but also her greatest flaw. Casting directors are looking for actresses in their late teens and early 20s. Performers will need a strong voice with a soprano/mix.

Olaf

A kind-hearted snowman created by Elsa’s magic. Made of pure innocence and comedy, the casting call specifies a performer in their 20s who is a great singer.

Kristoff

A human orphan raised by trolls, Kristoff is an ice-cutter who gets swept up in Anna’s mission to help her sister. Best friends with a reindeer, Kristoff is also warm and kind-hearted. Those looking to take on this role are to be in their 20s and be a baritone.

Hans

The prince is described as a real charmer and as handsome as they come. Matching Anna’s wittiness and sense of humour and general outlook on life, no one has connected with her in the same way. Performers are to be in their 20s and a tenor.

Weselton

The Duke is someone who will take any chance he can to get ahead - even if that means throwing someone else under the bus. Jumping on Elsa’s magical incident, he works to spread fear and seeks to discredit the royal family of Arendelle. This performer is ideally to be in their 50s and small in stature - no singing voice specified.

The casting agency has stated that performers of all cultural backgrounds are encouraged to audition for all of the roles.
