Flathead High School students Saturday concluded their run of several performances of the Broadway version of Disney’s “Frozen.”
FHS was 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. On top of all the songs in the 2013 animated movie, the Broadway musical features 23 additional songs in the approximately two-hour-long performance.
