Hunter Drama is proud to present Disney’s Frozen JR. at the Playhouse, Civic Theatre Newcastle, from 17 July to 2 August —a heartwarming stage adaptation of the beloved animated film, brought to life by some of the region’s most talented young performers.
Directed by Luke Baker, with support from Assistant Director Abbey Fotheringham, and featuring musical direction by Rachel Davies and choreography by Vanessa Ambrose, this enchanting production celebrates love in all its forms, the strength of sisterhood, and the magic of self-discovery—continuing the Disney legacy of telling powerful, character-driven stories for modern audiences.
More than just a fairytale, Disney’s Frozen JR. marks a turning point in Disney storytelling, shifting the focus away from traditional princess narratives. Instead of centring on romance, Disney’s Frozen JR. uplifts the bond between sisters, personal growth, and learning to embrace one’s true self. For young audiences especially, it’s a powerful reminder that love doesn’t always look the way we expect—and that being a hero doesn’t require a crown.
The story of Disney’s Frozen JR. follows fearless Princess Anna as she sets off on a journey to find her estranged sister Elsa, whose icy powers have accidentally trapped their kingdom in eternal winter. Packed with all the hit songs you know and love, such as Let It Go, Do You Want to Build a Snowman? and more, the production promises a dazzling experience for audiences, young and old.
“Disney’s Frozen JR. is a beautiful story of friendship, love, and woman power,” said Director Luke Baker.
“This show has something for all ages, and will make you laugh, cry, and feel all warm and fuzzy in your heart. I hope audiences feel the hard work, passion, and dedication from our talented cast and leave feeling a little bit more magical than they did walking in.”
Audiences can expect all the charm of the original story plus special theatrical touches that make this staging unique. Tickets are expected to sell quickly. Don’t miss this spellbinding journey through snow, song, and sisterhood.
