Frozen in the West End | Behind-the-scenes with Samantha Barks

Frozen's Elsa Samantha Barks takes us behind-the-scenes for a first look at the West End premiere of Frozen!

While the show has told fans they'll have to wait a little bit longer for the piece's London run due to the pandemic, plans for the production are all-systems-go – as the video below demonstrates.

The production, which will be presented at a refurbished Theatre Royal Drury Lane, is directed by Michael Grandage with choreography by Rob Ashford, set and costume design by Christopher Oram, lighting design by Neil Austin, sound design by Peter Hylenski, video design by Finn Ross, puppet design by Michael Curry and musical supervision and arrangements by Stephen Oremus.

The cast features Samantha Barks (Elsa) and Stephanie McKeon (Anna), as well as Obioma Ugoala (Kristoff), Craig Gallivan (Olaf), Oliver Ormson (Hans), Richard Frame (Weselton), and alternating the role of Sven, Mikayla Jade and Ashley Birchall.

To go from I'd Do Anything, Chicago, Les Mis, and this, just to name a few, I mean what a career. I remember my 13 year old self just in awe at Sam and I'm still in awe tbh

This can’t come soon enough! I didn’t realise Oliver was Hans!?! I did the voice maps theatre tour with Ian McK the other day (cycled there and live local before anyone panics!) and it was so exciting to see the Frozen signage up. Cannot WAIT to be back in a theatre again!!
