1| Reb Atadero as Hans

Multi-hyphenated may be cliche, but it best describes Reb Atadero—a Filipino actor, singer, host, voice actor, director, and content creator. His recent works onstage include Seymour Kerlborn in Little Shop of Horrors, Mark Cohen in Rent, and M in Lungs. Atadero received the PhilStage Gaward Buhay Award for Oustanding Male Featured Actor in a Musical for his portrayal as Michael in Tick, Tick...Boom!; and a nomination for Ang Huling El Bimbo in 2019.

2| Laurence Mossman as Olaf

Laurence Mossman is currently starring as Thuy in the 2023-2024 Australian and Asian tour of Miss Saigon. His theater debut came in 2016 when he performed alongside Lea Salonga in Fun Home. He has also performed in local productions of Kinky Boots, A Christmas Carol, and Mamma Mia.

3| Joreen Bautista as Anna

Affectionately called "Filipina Disney Princess" on TikTok, Joreen Bautista has earned a fanbase both online and onstage. She has performed across the United Kingdom and Europe, including her stint as alternate Kim in Miss Saigon.

4| Gab Pangilinan as Elsa

Gab Pangilinan is possibly one of the busiest female theater artists in the last few years. She has performed as Young Joy in Ang Huling El Bimbo, Roxane in Mula sa Buwan, Cathy in The Last Five Years, and Catalina in Pingkian: Isang Musikal. Pangilinan is also one of the five producers of Barefoot Theatre Collaborative, which is currently staging Bar Boys: A New Musical.

Frozen in Concert will also feature the Grammy-nominated score of composer Christophe Beck, while Filharmonika Orchestra will perform the Disney movie soundtracks as the movie plays on the big screen. Mhaze Lim, who served as the principal violinist of the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra from 2017 to 2020, is taking the helm as the conductor.
