King Agnarr: The warm-hearted ruler of Arendelle is committed to protecting both his family and the townspeople from his eldest daughter’s powers.
 
Queen Iduna: The queen possesses a sense of rightness and kindness that guides her in the protection of her two young girls. A daughter of the Northern Nomads, this queen has the ability to communicate with the Hidden Folk of the mountains and so understands Elsa’s powers deeply.
 
Pabbie and Bulda: Mystical leaders of the Hidden Folk who have a soft spot for “strays.” These parental figures want what’s best for Kristoff, even if they are a bit misguided in their efforts.
 
Kristoff: 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 with a reindeer for a best friend- until he meets Anna.

Sven: A reindeer of few words, Sven is fiercely loyal to Kristoff, and loves giving the ice harvester a hard time. In this production, Sven will be cast as a physical actor, not a puppet.

Hans: The ambitious Prince of the Southern Isles and overlooked thirteenth son of a king. He boasts an exceedingly charming façade that fools everyone…but definitely turns out to be a façade. (Whoops, spoiler.)

Weselton: A visiting duke with a a huge inferiority complex. A bombastic, over-the-top naysayer, Weselton’s sole purpose is to hobnob with influencers and royalty.
 
Olaf: The magical snowman created by Anna and Elsa when they were young. Olaf is endearingly delighted by everything – especially the idea of summer. Goofy and sweet, Olaf should possess a childlike innocence and excellent comic timing.

Oaken: An exceedingly cheerful and friendly wandering salesperson and ardent devotee to all things cozy and comfortable.
 
Bishop: The bishop officiates the coronation and passing of the crown to Elsa, and communicates with the townspeople of Arendelle in a serious and formal manner.
 
Ensemble: Townspeople, Snow Chorus, Hidden Folk, Castle Staff, Oaken’s Family, Guards
