FROZEN

About the show

Disney's Frozen opened at Sydney's Capitol Theatre Thursday, December 10, 2020. There will soon be five productions of Frozen running worldwide; next year, London, Tokyo and Hamburg will open and the North American tour will resume performances. Frozen is considered one of the most technically advanced productions ever mounted in Australia with a total cast of 38, an incredible 440 costumes, and 65 tons of scenery and automation in an unforgettable theatrical event that Newsday called a 'serious mega hit!' The costumes, all handmade in Sydney, saw a 70-person team engaged to bring the opulent setting of Arendelle to life. Elsa's ice dress alone takes one person 60 days to sew on 14,000 beads and crystals, and three months to make the dress from start to finish. The custom embroidery on Anna's gown in the coronation scene takes over 100 hours to create and is done entirely by hand. Costume fabrics and trims have been sourced from fourteen different countries around the world. There is no real fur in the show - the 'fur' on Kristoff's costume is custom knitted for the production. In total, 145 wigs, hair and facial hair pieces, 90 handmade hats and 120 pairs of custom-made shoes make up the wardrobe, overseen by Australian Costume and Wig Design Associate, Janet Hine.
