The musical follows the story of two sisters, Elsa and Anna, who are princesses in the kingdom of Arendelle. Elsa has magical powers that allow her to control ice and snow, but she struggles to keep them hidden. When Elsa’s powers accidentally reveal themselves during her coronation as queen, she flees to the mountains, inadvertently plunging Arendelle into an eternal winter. Anna, determined to bring her sister back, embarks on a journey with an ice seller named Kristoff, his reindeer Sven, and a friendly snowman named Olaf. Along the way, they face challenges and learn about the power of love, family, and self acceptance. Key songs from the film are featured, including “Let It Go”, “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” and “For the First Time in Forever”.

Taking Liberty presented by Theatre 180
Directed by Stuart Halusz. Assistant Director Craig Williams. Featuring Stuart Halusz, Luke Hewitt and Jarryd Dobson. THEATRE 180, in collaboration with WA Museum, presents one of the greatest moments in Australian sporting history โ the defeat of Liberty by Australia II in the 1983 Americaโs Cup. In an epic, against-the-odds finish to a best-of-seven race, Skipper John Bertrand led his crew to turn the tide from a 3-1 deficit in race five and claim victory in a nail-biting decider, one of the biggest comebacks in sporting history. Combining the excitement of live theatre against a cinematic backdrop, Taking Liberty by Ingle Knight celebrates the moment in time which defined a nation and gave international prominence to our cultural identity and fighting spirit, ending Americaโs 132-year dominance of the sport in what became known as the Race of the Century.
