The WHS Performing Arts is proud to bring the kingdom of Arendelle to the stage when they perform the musical “Frozen Jr.” this spring.
Based on the 2013 classic written by Jennifer Lee, “Frozen Jr.” is a musical adaptation of Frozen, performed
by younger actors. “Frozen Jr.” tells the story of Princess Anna (Isabella Casas) who joins forces with ice harvester Kristoff (Caleb Murdock), his reindeer sidekick Sven (Brooke Russo) and comedic snowman Olaf (Valerie Robles), to find Queen Elsa (Mariah Robinson) and break the icy spell that’s been put over Arendelle.
This enchanting Disney story is a family favorite, and perfect for all ages! “Frozen Jr.” has all of the catchy and memorable songs from the animated original, as well as five new songs, written by Kristen Anderson-Lopez & Robert Lopez, especially for the Broadway production. The WHS production, which involves over 40 students, is directed and choreographed by Janet Sakona, with vocal direction by Craig Harless.
