I am so excited to work with Meegan Conway and the Creative Team in bringing the magic of Disney’s Frozen to life on stage. This iconic musical has so many magical and emotional moments and special, loveable characters that will be a challenge and honour to create on the Pilbeam Theatre stage. I am particularly looking forward to working closely with so many talented people to tell this heart-warming story in true Disney form, bringing the music, characters, settings and storyline to life, making it a production to remember for all the young and young at heart members of the audience, who have already fallen in love with this truly awe-inspiring musical.
A successful and supportive rehearsal environment is one where every individual involved in the show feels like they are valued and essential to the production. Bringing such a touching story to life, requires an environment of mutual respect and admiration for everyone’s role and individual talents. The saying goes ‘it takes a village to raise a child’, well this holds true for a musical production as well where we are part of a special family helping create the magic that is Frozen.
