Some of the cast of Disney’s Frozen North American Tour performed at The White House for its holiday décor unveiling. On November 27, 2023, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden was joined by several stars from Frozen who performed some highlights from the Tony®-nominated Best Musical. The stars included Caroline Bowman (Elsa), Lauren Nicole Chapman (Anna),Jeremy Davis (Olaf), Dominic Dorset (Kristoff) and Preston Perez (Hans). This was all part of the The White House official unveiling of the holiday and seasonal décor.
For the event, the First Lady invited National Guard families to be the first members of the public to experience the White House holiday décor. This was a part of Dr. Biden’s Joining Forces initiative to support military families. Once the First Lady had delivered her holiday message, the children of National Guard families were then treated to the performance by the cast of the North American tour of Disney’s stage musical, Frozen.
The performance was met with a strong ovation and the First Lady thanked the cast, saying they were “amazing.” Some of the highlights of this can be seen here:
