Show Summary

Set in the kingdom of Arendelle, Frozen tells the story of sisters Elsa and Anna, whose relationship is shaped by a secret Elsa has carried since childhood: she has the magical ability to create ice and snow. After an accident causes Elsa to fear the power she cannot fully control, the sisters grow apart as Elsa isolates herself to protect Anna and those around her.

Years later, Elsa’s coronation brings the sisters together again as the gates of Arendelle open for the first time in years. Anna, eager to experience the world beyond the castle, meets Prince Hans, while Elsa struggles to maintain control of her powers. When her magic is unexpectedly revealed, Elsa flees into the mountains, inadvertently bringing an eternal winter upon Arendelle.

Determined to find her sister, Anna sets out on a journey with Kristoff, a mountain man and ice harvester, and Sven, his loyal reindeer companion. Along the way, they meet Olaf, a cheerful snowman brought to life by Elsa’s magic. As Anna searches for Elsa, the people of Arendelle face an uncertain future, and the sisters are forced to confront the fear and isolation that have kept them apart.

The role of Weselton is typically performed with proper British dialect, which illustrates he is from another kingdom.

Oaken's accent resembles the Danish dialcet and is meant to provide a contrast to all the characters that have been met in the show. Oaken should sing and soeak all "w" sounds as "v" sounds. For example, "wood" is "vood". He also has a particular way of pronouncing any word that has the "oo" sound - such as "good" or "latitude." All "oo" sounds are drawn out.
