She’d make a more convincing Anna...or does Carrie have that one locked?

Kerry Ellis is all kinds of wrong for Anna, if anything she would be Elsa. But even then she cant act so hopefully not.
Gina Beck would be a great Anna
I love the new artwork, more energetic and eye catching than the broadway artwork. I get what they were aiming for but it just felt a bit flat and bland.

Potential Annas I think would be Gina Beck or Laura Baldwin. Gina leaves Matilda in March so she would be free, although Laura is confirmed to be on the Beautiful tour in 2020.
Elsa for me would be Alice Fearn or Vicki Manser.

I HOPE to be proved wrong because I love the show. I would love to see a new name in the role of Anna. In general, I am sick of the same old names rolling around time and time again.

These characters are late-teenagers so I'd like to think they wouldn't be casting people in their late 30s/40. Not that it would be the first time....

As good an actress as Samantha is, I am too thinking she is not the right fit for Elsa. I just can't see her comfortably belting "Let It Go" every evening and maintaining the voice for the role.

While I agree Samantha Barks doesnt seem the right fit for Elsa, what have you been smoking to think she is 'mumsy'. kne of the last things I'd use to describe her. I think she could act the role but her voice doesnt seem powerful enough.
I'm all for not being ageist but the actors on broadway really didnt look right for those roles. Especially Anna, the whole key to her personality is a youthful exuberance and naivety which just doesnt quite work with someone who is and looks much older.

Maria Coyne would be an excellent choice for Anna

Don't think the Anna has been in a musical for a few years. Last saw her in the West End about 4 (?) Years ago

Patti Lupone could make a particularly sassy Olaf

Maybe this is something you need to explore with your therapist, theatremonkey.com? 😉 I shall put therapists 3, 4 and possibly 7 and 8 on it indeed... thanks for the idea TallPaul I’m getting distinct ‘Ronnie Corbert in “Sorry”’ vibes off of this. Which is perhaps not fair to Ms Barks. But it’s my default ‘mumsy’ place. Though 5’7” you say? I may be doing you a disservice too @theatremonkey 😉
