DIRECTOR’S NOTES
When I was asked by Ogunquit Playhouse’s Artistic Director, Brad Kenney, to direct this production of Disney’s FROZEN, I was reminded of a book that a friend had given me many years back.
Through The Uses of Enchantment by physiologist Bruno Bettelheim, I was enlightened and delighted at the notion that our traditional fairy tales actually serve a purpose.
Could a young child or young adult subliminally absorb qualities that we admire just by reading or watching a fairy tale? As demonstrated in the countless fairy tales that we all grew up with, compassion, courage, and determination are among the many virtues conveyed. But, I am especially drawn to the virtues exemplified in our modern fairy tale, FROZEN. The character Elsa’s journey is about learning to accept herself; she hides her true nature in fear of judgement. While the character Anna embodies the virtues of selflessness, as she comes to realize that true love sometimes means sacrificing one’s own well being for another. While it's certainly true that adolescents in every generation experience feelings of inadequacy, I would argue that today’s kids face ever-greater challenges in this regard. If our story can impart virtuous ideals, perhaps untouched in previous tales, then the purpose is well-served.
Disney’s animated tale has been translated into a number of different stage incarnations around the globe, and there will be many more in the future, to be sure. However, with this particular rendition, the creatives on board (and you know who you are), including every single crew and cast member, have strived to create an ever so unique FROZEN, with the hope that the messages therein will resonate with us all.
As ever, I am grateful to The Ogunquit Playhouse and The Music Hall for making the magic happen.
Angelique Ilo Director
FROM THE MUSIC HALL’S PRESIDENT & CEO
Dear Patrons, Sponsors, Donors, and Friends,
As we gather for this year’s holiday season, I am both honored and excited to welcome you back to The Music Hall for a production that captures the joy, resilience, and sense of wonder we all need. Disney's FROZEN The Broadway Musical provides the perfect setting to celebrate the season and the strength we find together as a community. Now, more than ever, our shared experiences in the places we come together hold a special importance. The Music Hall has become that welcoming gathering place—an inclusive space for us all to laugh, learn, and celebrate the magic of artistic excellence.
This year, we’re especially delighted to see so many familiar faces returning to The Music Hall. Your enthusiasm for making the arts a part of your holiday tradition inspires us. With your incredible support, The Music Hall has grown into New Hampshire’s largest nonprofit entertainment organization—a milestone made possible by this community’s steadfast commitment.
A special acknowledgment goes to our valued partners at the Ogunquit Playhouse, whose dedication, talent, and collaboration have played a crucial role in making this production possible. Their remarkable team of artists and professionals bring Broadway’s best right here to Portsmouth, NH, creating an unforgettable experience for audiences of all ages. Together, we bring you productions that continue to elevate the cultural vibrancy of our state and the Seacoast.
On behalf of The Music Hall staff, board, and volunteers, I thank you for being part of this incredible journey with us. We look forward to celebrating the holiday season with you, sharing in the magic of FROZEN, and embracing a bright future of shared artistic moments.
