Leading the talented West End cast is Samantha Barks as Elsa, known for her incredible performance in Les Misérables. Alongside her are Laura Dawkes as Anna, Jammy Kasongo as Kristoff, Craig Gallivan as Olaf, and Oliver Ormson as Hans. The show also features Richard Frame as the Duke of Weselton and Mikayla Jade bringing the lovable reindeer, Sven, to life.
Directed by award-winning Michael Grandage and choreographed by Rob Ashford, this production has been captivating audiences in the UK since 2021 and is set to close in September 2025.
This Disney+ release adds to the platform’s collection of professionally filmed stage musicals, joining the likes of Hamilton and Trevor: The Musical. The big news was unveiled during the D23 Fan Convention, where Samantha Barks treated fans to a live performance of “Let It Go” as part of Disney’s entertainment showcase.
