Posted on (Updated on 30 Oct 2023)
Since debuting in 2021, [***Frozen the Musical***](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/musical/frozen-the-musical-tickets) has continued the legacy that Frozen began in 2014 when the sincere tale of two sisters warmed the hearts of people around the world. *Frozen* became one of the highest-grossing films of all time, grossing $1.280 billion, with ‘Let It Go’ becoming one of the best-selling songs of all time and the definitive song of 2014. The magic continues, only this time, it’s live on stage with *Frozen the Musica*l at the [**Theatre Royal Drury Lane**](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/theatre-royal-drury-lane-london), London. Witness the story of Elsa and Anna, two girls on either side of the door desperate to connect, but separated by secrecy. Here at London Theatre Direct, we have a wide variety of [Black Friday theatre ticket exclusives](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/tickets/black-friday) coming, ahead of the big day - we caught up with *Frozen*’s **Ben Irish** and **Isabella Glanznig Santos,** here’s what they had to say during the Q&A!


Describe the show in three words.
Isabella: Oh Ben’s been thinking about this a lot!  Ben: Yeah, it’s breathtaking. Breathtaking, extravagant and loveable. Isabella: I would go with…everyone always says this but it is true - magical, eye-catching and beautiful. 
If you weren’t playing your current role, who else in the musical would you like to play? 
Isabella:  I want to be Oaken, I would just love to play Oaken because... so I’m half Austrian so I really feel a lot of that in the role and I just want to do his accent so badly! Ben: I think I would love to be Olaf, the kids adore him so much and he’s so animated. As an actor keeping that puppet alive for the whole show is a challenge in itself and the way the whole cast does it and acts along with him is great. So I think it’d be Olaf for me. 
What’s your favourite autumnal/winter treat?
Ben: I’m going to say mulled wine.  Isabella: I was going to say that!  Ben: Probably shouldn’t have alcohol in it. Maybe yule log, chocolate yule log.  Isabella: Eggnog? No…I’m just thinking, I’m going to have to say gluhwein because I’m not a sweet person!  ### Book *Frozen* tickets for the best seats this Black Friday This Black Friday, enjoy the best seats for *Frozen* and see some of the world's best costume changes!

From as early as I can recall, writing has always been my passion. Being able to combine this with my love for theatre has been a rewarding and exhilarating experience. I truly believe that there is magic in seeing a story brought to life on stage, and this is what I would like to promote to audiences.
