In the early morning hours, Billy, a middle-class suburbanite facing a job interview in just a few hours, is startled by an unexpected visit from his disheveled, estranged older brother, Jimmy. It has been six years since their last encounter, and Jimmy, looking worse for wear, arrives with a desperate request. As tensions rise, old wounds resurface, revealing a history of abandonment, resentment, and sibling rivalry.

Now, after years of silence, Jimmy needs Billy’s help again.

This production of Frozen KIDS is sure to prove that “some people are worth melting for.”

Character Information Young Anna Young Anna, Middle Anna, and Anna are all the young Princess of Arendelle at different ages. Filled with a tremendous amount of light, energy, and love, Anna is a hopelessly optimistic extrovert at all ages, but longs for connection with others, especially her sister, Elsa. Each version of this warm and determined princess requires a strong singer with great comic timing. Because Anna and Elsa share such a close bond, consider auditioning these roles together to get a sense of the performers’ chemistry. Once the actors playing Young Anna and Middle Anna are finished with these roles, consider adding them to the ensemble for the remainder of the show.

Gender: Female Vocal range top: D5 Vocal range bottom: G3 Young Elsa Young Elsa, Middle Elsa, and Elsa are all the elder Princess of Arendelle at different ages. 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 Fearful of hurting anyone, Elsa becomes anxious and withdrawn before eventually learning to take control of, and become confident in, her powers which she masterfully uses to manipulate the Snow Chorus. With the exception of Middle Elsa, who has only one lyric, look for strong singers who can portray Elsa’s restrained nature.

Gender: Female Vocal range top: D5 Vocal range bottom: G3 Hans Hans is the ambitious Prince of the Southern Isles and overlooked thirteenth son of a king. 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. Cast an actor who can play both sides of this two-faced prince with relish as well as confidently sing “Love Is an Open Door.” Gender: Male Vocal range top: C5 Vocal range bottom: G3 Kristoff Kristoff is a hardworking ice harvester with 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 – until he meets Anna. Look for a performer who can balance a cynical sense of humor with charming banter. Gender: Male Olaf Olaf is a magical snowman created by Anna and Elsa when they were young and is endearingly delighted by everything – especially the idea of summer. Goofy and sweet, Olaf should possess a childlike innocence and excellent comic timing. Gender: Male Vocal range top: D5 Vocal range bottom: F#3 Sven Sven is Kristoff’s loyal best friend and a reindeer of few words. Look for a performer with terrific physical acting skills who can devise a strong movement vocabulary to bring this furry charmer to life. Consider auditioning potential Svens and Kristoffs together as the two should share a visible bond. King Agnarr King Agnarr is the warm-hearted ruler of Arendelle. He is committed to protecting both his family and his townspeople from his eldest daughter’s powers. With no singing solos, focus on casting an actor who can play this father figure convincingly. Gender: Male Queen Iduna Queen Iduna possesses a sense of rightness and kindness that guides her in her protection of her two young girls. Born with her own powers, this queen has the ability to communicate with the Hidden Folk of the mountains and so understands Elsa more deeply; look for an actor who can portray this sense of compassion. Gender: Female Bishop The Bishop officiates the coronation and crowns Elsa. This spiritual supervisor must communicate to the townspeople of Arendelle in a serious and formal manner. Weselton WESELTON is an overbearing visiting duke who possesses a huge inferiority complex. Look for an actor who can portray the narrow-minded naysayer with over-the-top gusto. Gender: Male Pabbie Pabbie and Bulda are the open and warm- hearted mystical leaders of the Hidden Folk. Ever-benevolent, these parental figures want what’s best for Kristoff, even if they are a bit misguided in their efforts. Look for amiable performers who will endear themselves to the audience in the crowd-pleaser, “Fixer Upper.” Bulda Pabbie and Bulda are the open and warm- hearted mystical leaders of the Hidden Folk. Ever-benevolent, these parental figures want what’s best for Kristoff, even if they are a bit misguided in their efforts. Look for amiable performers who will endear themselves to the audience in the crowd-pleaser, “Fixer Upper.” Ensemble The Ensemble is your show’s primary group of performers from which you will pull the featured roles and other, perhaps smaller, ensembles. Be sure to select strong singers – as few or as many as your production requires – as all ensembles require group singing. Ensemble roles include: Storytellers, Townspeople, Snow Chorus, Castle Staff, Housekeeper, Butler, Handmaiden, Cook, Steward, Guard, Summer Chorus

Show Information: “Boeing Boeing” written by Marc Camoletti is set in the swinging 1960’s, and centers on American Playboy bachelor “Bernard”, who has a singles pad in Paris and three stewardesses all engaged to him without knowing about each other. Bernard’s life gets bumpy, though, when his friend “Robert” comes to stay, and complications such as weather, and a new speedier Boeing jet disrupt his careful planning. Soon, all three stewardesses are in the city simultaneously, and catastrophe looms. Come enjoy the hilarity in this door slamming farce!

Character Information “Bernard” -(Male-Age Range late 20’s to early 40’s) An American playboy bachelor who resides in Paris, working as an architect. Bernard has the air of a “ladies’ man” who believes he has women all figured out. He is charming and attractive, but a seductive scoundrel. He is happily engaged to all three airline stewardesses, none of whom know about the others, and uses flight timetables to ensure the women are never in his apartment at the same time. He is proud of his deception, until it starts to unravel (along with his confidence). “Robert” - (Male - Age Range late 20’s to early 40’s) An old friend of Bernard’s from Wisconsin, Robert shows up unexpectedly at Bernard’s Paris home. A shy, sweet, small-town guy, Robert initially disapproves of Bernard’s situation-though he can admit it has its advantages. He admires Bernard’s ability to keep things balanced. Soon, however, Robert is caught up in the game himself, trying to keep Bernard’s plan intact and stop his own anxiety from spinning out of control. “Berthe” (Female - Age range late 40’s-60’s) Bernard’s housekeeper. Berthe is an obedient and meticulous maid, which makes her integral to Bernard’s charade, but she isn’t very shy about voicing her growing dissatisfaction with Bernard’s revolving-door lifestyle. Wonderfully sarcastic and blunt, she is always exhausted and exasperated. (French Accent required) “Gloria” - (Female - Age range 20’s-30’s) Bernard’s American-New York City fiancée with a strong appetite for love, success, and unique food. She is an airline stewardess for TWA. Playfully cunning, sexy, confident, strong-willed, and not afraid to speak her mind. She is a go- getter and politically progressive for the 1960’s and is often offended when people do not share her opinion. (American Accent required) “Gabriella” - (Female - Age range 20’s-30’s) Bernard’s Italian fiancée. She is an airline stewardess for Alitalia Airlines. Feisty, passionate and seductive, she is incredibly smart and much more independent than she initially appears. (Italian Accent required) “Gretchen” - (Female - Age range 20’s-30’s) Bernard’s German fiancée. She is an airline stewardess for Lufthansa. Dominating, strong but loving, she is full of intense passion that can switch between soft and sweet to loud and destructive in a moment. She is both intimidating and yet loveable. (German Accent required)
