Talented cast performs ‘Frozen' at Monsignor J.E. Ronan Catholic School
A talented cast backed by a supportive staff at Monsignor J.E. Ronan Catholic School in Beeton performed Disney's 'Frozen Kids' during four performances at the school on May 7 and 8.
The school musical was a much-anticipated production that was several months in rehearsal to make sure the performances were perfect.
Sixty students from Grade 4 to Grade 8, were on stage as both main characters and in the chorus.
The play features music and lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez.
Based on the Disney movie 'Frozen,' the story is set in the mythical kingdom of Arendelle. Princess Elsa is played in three different ages by Penny Pantelidis, Eva Lee, and Chelsa Gomes, and has magical powers over snow and ice.
After accidentally revealing her powers to the court, Elsa flees to the mountains, unaware that her magic has plunged Arendelle into an eternal winter.
Her sister Anna is played in three different ages by Sophia Quercia, Isla Gregg, and Kylie Psaila. She sets off on a journey to find Elsa, accompanied by the iceman Kristoff, played by Aiden Burke, his reindeer Sven, played by Marcus Taccogna, and the snowman Olaf, played by Samantha Jacks.
The play was directed by Katie Bekking with assistance from Kathryn Berto and Shaughn English-Cragg. Laura Sledz did the choreography.
Kim Groen was responsible for the incredible costumes.
'We did 'Finding Nemo' last year, and a couple of the girls who were in that show are in Grade 8 this year and they wanted to do one more show before they go to high school,' Ms. Berto explained. 'They tried out for the lead roles and they got them. We have around 64 kids in the play. They are all in Grades 4 to 8. They did a great job. They have been rehearsing since December.'
The performances were a rousing success with the school auditorium packed
