We have been waiting for it for a long time, the musical Frozen settles in London and we discover today the first photos.
The main actors of the musical were able to take advantage of a first photoshoot in costumes to promote the show. We find Samantha Barks as Elsa and Stephanie McKeon as Anna. Alongside them Craig Gallivan (Olaf), Oliver Ormson (Hans) and Obioma Ugoala (Kristoff). You can discover the full cast here.
We do not yet have pictures of Sven, the famous reindeer. On stage, it's an actor who lives in the reindeer puppet: it's a very physical role. There is also a great video that explains how the actor lives in this puppet.
Without further ado, discover the first photos of Frozen in London :

My favorite London theater.
I played Freddy in My Fair Lady here 19 years ago (my 2nd West End job) and it was magical. I'm excited for all those theatricals of the future who'll get to call this 'home' for a while. pic.twitter.com/PjAmjteW9e
