Kansas City Stars In Frozen
We’re less than one month until Starlight’s Production of Disney’s Frozen! A powerful take of sisterhood, acceptance, and love, Frozen will make its Kansas City premiere August 5-10. This production of Disney’s Frozen is a co-production with Pittsburgh CLO and the Lied Center for Performing Arts in Lincoln, NE. Starlight is excited to announce the full cast for the production. Amongst the cast of professionals, two Kansas City locals will be performing as young Anna and young Elsa!
Hailey Kenyon, age 13, will be playing Young Elsa. Kelly Bellamy, age 10, will be playing Young Anna in Disney’s Frozen at Starlight. We asked the young actors a few questions about being cast in a Broadway production.
1. What drew you to theatre and to audition for Frozen?
Hailey (Young Elsa)-I just turned 13 and have been involved with theatre since I was 7. I have always loved to sing and loved to watch my older sister perform before realizing that is what I wanted to do too! My first production that I ever auditioned for was Frozen Jr.!
Kelly (Young Anna)-I am going to be playing Young Anna in the co-production of Frozen! I was drawn to theatre after watching local productions for a few years and decided I wanted to be a performer too! I thought auditioning for Frozen would be fun and also a great opportunity.
2. Have you ever been to Starlight before? Any fun memories or stories?
Hailey (Young Elsa)– I love going to the Blue Star Awards and we recently saw Starlight’s production of School of Rock this summer! We knew some of the cast members and it was really fun to see them perform.
Kelly (Young Anna)-I love going to Starlight! Most recently, opening night of School of Rock was very memorable in the pouring rain.
3.What are you most looking forward to about being in a Broadway production?
Hailey (Young Elsa)-I am very excited to meet the rest of the cast as well as perform on the Starlight stage! It is also really fun to travel to two different cities!
Kelly (Young Anna)-I am most looking forward to being in a Broadway production because of the cast and team that I get to meet and perform with!
4. Who is your favorite character in Disney’s Frozen?
Hailey(Young Elsa)-I have always loved Anna because of her bold personality and how she is never willing to give up on Elsa. Anna is also really funny and brings a lot of comedic relief to the show.
Kelly (Young Anna)– Anna is my favorite Frozen character because she is energetic and goofy!
5. Is there anything else you’d like to share?
Hailey (Young Elsa)– I am just really excited and grateful for this opportunity! I hope you enjoy watching us build a snowman on stage!
Kelly (Young Anna)– I can’t wait to build a snowman with our cast in Disney’s Frozen!
Starlight is thrilled to have the Kansas City Premiere of Disney’s Frozen on our stage this August and we’re so glad to have these two Kansas City locals on the Broadway stage! Come see Hailey and Kelly in Disney’s Frozen the Musical August 5-10 at Starlight. Grab your seats today!
