The opportunity to have photos taken with Anna and Elsa had children (and parents) lining the side of the auditorium to await their turn. Credit must go to the society and the actors involved in those roles for taking the extra time to do this after each show.
There were so many standout performances and each person on the stage certainly deserved the tumultuous applause they received each night.
The transitions from young Anna and Elsa (Niyah Henare-Pearson and Saiorse Williamson) to middle Anna and Elsa (Lavara Makutu and Imogen Williamson) and the final Anna and Elsa (Amber Rollinson and Tiana Fryer) were seamless and effective with all six performing their roles convincingly.
Miles Harrington as Prince Hans, the villain of the story, carried his role strongly and, as should happen to all villains, was seen off in style, while Baron Wessleton played both sides with humour.
The Oaken family led by Kalanee Rauhiri Wicks were a delight to watch and who can have a royal family without a regal King and Queen, wonderfully played by Charli O'Brien and Trevor Clement.
Kristoff (Anthony Tautari), Sven the Reindeer (Rhiley Good), and Olaf (Leo Martin-Arnault) were all wonderful in their roles with the Sven and Olaf costumes a credit to the wardrobe team.
Elsa's Snow Chorus appearing throughout the show in their silver and white costumes added to the overall visual effect and helped make the production what it was – another outstanding performance by talented Horowhenua youth and the Levin Performing Arts Society.
