Sewickley actor will “Let It Go” with Disney’s Frozen, Jr.

A Sewickley resident will be among the main cast members when Elsa, Anna, Olaf and friends take Lincoln Park by (snow) storm with Disney’s Frozen, Jr. November 14-24. Tickets are available online at www.lincolnparkarts.org/events, or by calling the Lincoln Park Box office at (724) 576-4644.

The cast includes Braeden Steffey of Sewickley, who plays the role of Kristoff, the rugged outdoorsman and ice harvester who lives with his reindeer pal, Sven.

Disney’s Frozen, Jr. is based on the 2018 Broadway musical and brings Elsa, Anna, and the magical land of Arendelle to life, onstage. The show features all of the memorable songs from the animated film, such as “Do You Want to Build a Snowman,” “For the First Time in Forever,” “In Summer,” and the Oscar winning “Let it Go,” to name a few — plus five new songs written for the Broadway production.

“We are thrilled to present Disney’s Frozen, Jr. as our fifth show in Lincoln Park’s Junior Musical Series,” says Justin Fortunato, Lincoln Park’s Producing Artistic Director. “This production has all the charm of Disney’s blockbuster movie plus new, incredible stage magic that all audiences will enjoy.”

Lincoln Park’s Junior Series shows are professionally produced musicals, featuring actors in grades 7-9 in a condensed, one-act show.

“All the show-stopping, memorable moments in Frozen come together in one 70-minute production,” says Fortunato, “and all tickets are only $10. It’s the perfect way to introduce young audiences to live theatre through a story they all know and love.”

Audiences are also invited to join Elsa, Anna and Friends for a Coronation Ball in Arendelle! The Coronation Ball will include a royal lunch, dance party, and arts and crafts before the Saturday matinees. Coronation Ball packages start at $25 for children and $25 for adults and include show tickets. There is also a VIP Coronation Ball package that includes an exclusive on-stage experience for children.

Bringing the tale to life is a 52-person cast that features some of the freshest and most energetic young talent the region has to offer. The cast also includes Grace Vensel of Upper St Clair (Elsa), Grace Plassmeyer of Beaver Falls (Anna), Shaun Walker of Cranberry Township (Hans), Adam Woods of Monaca (Olaf), and Sydney Grace Ciencin of Hopewell Township (Sven).
