Frozen has extended its West End run as it unveils new company members.

The seven-time WhatsOnStage Award-winning musical adaptation of the record-breaking Disney film continues its run at Theatre Royal Drury Lane, where it first opened last summer and continues to play to full capacity houses. It has music and lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, and book by Jennifer Lee, with direction by Michael Grandage.

It received a glowing review from WhatsOnStage's Sarah Crompton, being described as "the most enormous fun."

Emily Lane, currently second cover Anna, will take on the role of the effervescent sister full time from 28 September. Djavan van de Fliert, making his professional stage debut, will play Kristoff from the same date.

Continuing in the show will be Samantha Barks (Elsa), Craig Gallivan (Olaf), Oliver Ormson (Hans) and Richard Frame (Duke of Weselton). Mikayla Jade and Ashley Birchall will continue to alternate the role of Sven.
