One thought on “Disney announces the full Australian FROZEN cast

  • Looking forward to taking my grand-daughters to see Frozen. Looks like a great cast and Matt Lee will no doubt be outstanding as usual. He was brilliant in Mary Poppins.
    I live in Melbourne and am wondering (and hoping) that it will come here.
    Are there any dates pencilled in and at what theatre would it be shown. I’m so happy the theatre is up and running again.
