We are 1,500 people in the auditorium. Some of us are princesses, escorted by dad, aunt or mum. We’re off on an adventure at Musikhuset Aarhus – Disney’s Frost, The Musical, served up in a Nordic style.

The princesses in the auditorium are dressed up, eating sweets, and kicking me in the back. There’s something particularly enchanting about experiencing children’s theatre together with children. The fathers behind us look so happy to be taking their daughters on this trip – into the fairy tale. Frost is a very long performance when you’re 4–5 years old. But it actually works fine. The children sit on cushions so they can see over the heads of the adults. Perfect. The men in the hall relax and enjoy themselves while their daughters munch wine gums and follow the story on stage. The story is the one you know from the film – but much less Broadway. In this Vesturport version there’s more Nordic folklore and mythology. Princess Anna is a quick-witted girl with plenty of spirit, full of life and vitality, and with a real longing for a proper man! Together with her sister Elsa, Anna has lived alone in the castle for many years, but now her sister Elsa is to become queen. Their parents are dead, and Elsa is known for having a crazy temper that can make people collapse with frostbite. People are streaming into the house to celebrate the coronation of the new queen. Anna steps out of her loneliness and meets a real man for the first time: Prince Hans! He’s handsome, and she wants to marry him – preferably today rather than tomorrow. But her sister says no. In fact she gets so angry with Anna that she unleashes her freezing magic over the entire kingdom, turning it into winter. Elsa runs away up into the mountains, where she lives in the company of the snowman Olaf – a little happy bundle of snow that Elsa has brought to life. And now it gets exciting. Anna searches the mountains for her sister, but first finds Kristoffer and his sweet reindeer. The real adventure begins. Sven the Reindeer – played perfectly by Mads Panik Wilfred Steen – with long forelegs that make him look completely lifelike. They also meet the cheerful snowman Olaf, brilliantly performed by puppeteer Diluckshan Jeyaratnam, who also provides the snowman’s voice. Ahead of Kristoffer and Anna lie many challenges: yet another outburst from sister Elsa, a bunch of crazy men and women with scythes and flails gathered to kill Elsa, betrayal and deceit, and finally – Princess Anna has got an ice splinter in her heart. She is freezing – only death’s cold embrace awaits her. Unless…! Unless they manage to find true love! The scenography is raw and Nordic, top class. The actors can really sing. The music is pompous and bombastic – it sounds like Icelandic volcanoes rumbling and steaming as they meet Hollywood’s Rodgers & Hammerstein and some verses from a Swedish Abba blackbird. But the biggest thing you have to experience for yourself. Your children manage an incredible number of minutes with focus, and suddenly you realise the story has touched you so deeply that you have to sniff quickly and wipe a few tears from your cheeks. Thank you to Vesturport for the experience, and thank you to Musikhuset in Aarhus. A superb production in the Nordic vein – Vikings and full-of-life men and women. Brilliant!

The piece tastes of frostbite, a cheerful snowman, a story about two sisters, proper men and real love
Break from the sweet-munching – can we save Princess Anna?
Any more sweets – and are you crying, Dad?
