Disney’s Frozen: The West End Musical is coming to Hope Valley this Christmas

This December, Hope Valley College students will perform Disney’s Frozen: The West End Musical, bringing the West End to the Peak District from 8 to 11 December 2026.

Led by Mrs Machan, Head of Music, and Mrs Starbuck-Ahmed, Head of Drama, the cast and crew of students have been working hard in rehearsals to perfect their performances.

Based on the Academy Award-winning film and nominated for Best Musical at the Tony Awards and the Olivier Awards, the musical tells the story of sisters Elsa and Anna. Featuring the iconic songs from the film, including ‘Do You Want to Build a Snowman’, ‘For The First Time in Forever’, ‘In Summer’ and, of course, the award-winning ‘Let It Go’, the musical is jam-packed with even more wonderful songs from composers Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez.

Mrs Petts, Headteacher of Hope Valley College, shared:

“We are so excited for this magical production! We are looking forward to welcoming families, friends and members of our local community to our school to watch the show. We have also invited children from our local primary schools to a matinée dress rehearsal – a perfect Christmas show for them.”

Disney’s Frozen: The West End Musical features a book by Jennifer Lee, based on the Disney film written by Jennifer Lee and directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee. Originally directed on Broadway by Michael Grandage and originally produced on Broadway by Disney Theatrical Productions, this amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorised performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.co.uk

Performances will take place at 6pm for four performances, Tuesday 8 December to Friday 11 December with tickets on sale for adults at £13 and concessions at £10.
