A more complex story than its movie counterpart with music fit for the Broadway stage, Flathead High School students next week will showcase Disney’s “Frozen.”
FHS will be the first school in Montana to produce the stage version of “Frozen” after winning the United States of Frozen competition in September 2022. One high school was selected from each state to win production and performance rights and script and score materials through the nationwide competition organized by the Educational Theatre Association, Disney Theatrical Group and Music Theatre International.
Written for professional performers, what sets the Broadway version apart from a typical high school musical is the degree of difficulty, according to director of Flathead’s production, Luke Johnson, and lead performers Sophia Bennett, who plays Elsa, and Gracyne Johnson, who plays Anna.
