Character and Audition Information
Younger, Middle, and Older Anna:
Younger Anna, Middle Anna, and Older Anna are all the young princess of Arendelle at different ages played by three different actresses. Filled with a tremendous amount of light, energy, and love, Anna is a hopelessly optimistic extrovert at all ages, but as she grows older, she longs for connection with others, especially her sister, Elsa.
Gender: Female
Audition Songs:
Young Anna – “Let The Sun Shine On”
Middle Anna – “Do You Want To Build A Snowman?”
Older Anna – “For The First Time In Forever” (Anna cut)
Older Anna Callback Song: “Love Is An Open Door”
Younger, Middle, and Older Elsa:
Younger Elsa, Middle Elsa, and Older Elsa are all the elder princess of Arendelle at different ages played by three different actresses. 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 Fearful of hurting anyone, especially her beloved sister, Anna, Elsa becomes anxious and withdrawn as she grows older, before eventually learning to take control of, and become confident in, her powers which she masterfully uses to manipulate the Snow Chorus.
Gender: Female
Audition Songs:
Young Elsa – “Let The Sun Shine On”
Middle Elsa – “Do You Want To Build A Snowman?”
Older Elsa – “Let It Go”
Older Elsa Callback Song: “Dangerous To Dream”
Kristoff:
Kristoff is a hardworking ice harvester. Kristoff has a sarcastic veneer and a rough-around-the edges exterior that hides a big heart. Taken in by the Hidden Folk when he was young, he loves Pabbie and Bulda dearly, but is a bit of a loner with a reindeer for a best friend – until he meets Anna.
Gender: Male
Audition Song: “Reindeers Are Better Than People”
Prince Hans:
The ambitious Prince of the Southern Isles and overlooked thirteenth son of a king. Hans constantly strives to find a way to make good and stand out. He boasts an exceedingly charming facade that fools everyone – including Anna and, ideally, the audience! – into believing he’s Prince Charming, when really, he’s just a jerk.
Gender: Male
Audition Song: “Love Is An Open Door”
Olaf:
This role involves puppetry.
The magical snowman created by Anna and Elsa when they were young. Goofy and sweet, Olaf is endearingly delighted by everything -especially the idea of summer.
Gender: Any
Audition Song: “In Summer”
Sven:
This role involves puppetry.
Sven is a reindeer of few words, a fiercely loyal pal to Kristoff, and loves giving the ice harvester a hard time.
Gender: Any
Audition Song: “Reindeers Are Better than People”
King Agnarr:
The warm-hearted ruler of Arendelle is committed to protecting both his family and the Townspeople from his eldest daughter’s powers.

Queen Iduna:
The queen possesses a sense of rightness and kindness that guides her in her protection of her two young girls. A daughter of the Northern Nomads, this queen has the ability to communicate with the Hidden Folk of the mountains and so understands Elsa’s powers deeply.
Gender: Female
Audition Song: “For The First Time In Forever” (Ensemble cut)
Pabbie and Bulda:
Pabbie and Bulda are the mystical leaders of the Hidden Folk who have a soft spot for “strays”. Ever-benevolent, these parental figures want what’s best for Kristoff, even if they are a bit misguided in their efforts.
Gender: Any
Audition Song: “Fixer Upper”
Weselton:
A visiting duke who possesses a huge inferiority complex. A bombastic, overbearing sycophant, Weselton’s sole purpose is to hobnob with influencers and royalty.
