The show will run now through April 7 at the Academy of Music (Broad and Locust streets, Philadelphia).<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrozen\u201d\u00a0is a musical\u00a0with music and lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez\u00a0and Robert Lopez, and book by Jennifer Lee, based on the 2013 film of the same name. The story centers on the relationship between two sisters who are princesses, Elsa and Anna.<\/p>\n<p>Elsa has magical powers to freeze objects and people, which she does not know how to control. After inheriting the throne, Elsa flees, inadvertently causing the kingdom to become frozen in an eternal winter and nearly killing her sister. She must sacrifice and show true love to save the day.<\/p>\n<p>The touring cast features Caroline Bowman as Elsa, Lauren Nicole Chapman as Anna Jeremy Davis as Olaf and Dominic Dorsett as Kristoff.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018Frozen\u2019 is about these two sisters who are torn apart because of this secret,\u201d said Davis, during a recent phone interview from a tour stop in Providence, Rhode Island.<\/p>\n<p>Davis, who shares the stage with his wife, Kristen, has been a part of the\u00a0\u201cFrozen\u201d\u00a0family since the 2016 pre-Broadway workshop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2016, I auditioned for the first developmental workshops of the show,\u201d said Davis, who graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in musical theater performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe audition went well. I did a couple workshops. Then, we opened the show on Broadway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrozen\u201d premiered on\u00a0Broadway\u00a0in March 2018 at the\u00a0St. James Theatre. Then, because of the\u00a0COVID-19 pandemic, the Broadway production closed on March 11, 2020, after 26 previews and 825 regular performances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did the whole run in New York until COVID hit,\u201d said Davis. \u201cOne-and-a-half years later, the tour ramped up and they called me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Davis was more than familiar with \u201cFrozen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had seen the movie a couple times,\u201d said Davis. \u201cIt was a cool film. It was a departure for Disney. I love animation \u2013 Disney Films in particular.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Olaf, Davis is sort of human animation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOlaf is a four-foot-tall puppet,\u201d said Davis, who has also performed on Broadway in\u00a0\u201cCats,\u201d \u201cAnnie,\u201d \u201cThe Last Ship,\u201d and \u201cSouth Pacific.\u201d \u201cHis torso is attached to me \u2013 his feet to my feet. It does feel like a dance partner. We sort of dance around the stage together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a snowman Anna and Elsa built together as kids, Olaf represents innocent love and the joy the sisters once had when they were young before being split. Olaf is not just funny. He also has a \u201cbig role to play representing the innocent love in the scale of fear versus love.\u201d Additionally, his character provides much of the comic relief while conveying lovable innocence and purity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOlaf is the emotional bridge,\u201d said Davis, whose Broadway credits also include \u201cBilly Elliot,\u201d \u201cDirty Rotten Scoundrels,\u201d \u201c9 to 5,\u201d\u00a0\u201cThe People\u00a0in the Picture\u201d and \u201cGhost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know he is an inanimate object, but he sure does feel alive to me. He talks all the time. I\u2019m sort of in charge of a lot of jokes. Olaf is the archetypal fool. He sees everything as an opportunity for fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Davis, who has Midwest roots, became Actor\u2019s Equity member in 1998.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m from Grand Fork, North Dakota,\u201d said Davis. \u201cMy mom was an artist. She had all the PBS ballet videos. I watched at least one a day when I was growing up. I also loved \u2018Singing in the Rain.\u2019 I always wanted to be Gene Kelly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrozen\u201d\u00a0was nominated for a number of awards and received several. The song \u201cLet It Go\u201d was singled out for praise. The film was nominated for two awards at the\u00a071st Golden Globe Awards\u00a0and received the\u00a0Best Animated Feature\u00a0award. It received\u00a0Academy Awards\u00a0for\u00a0Best Animated Feature\u00a0and\u00a0Best Original Song\u00a0(\u201cLet It Go\u201d) and\u00a0Critics\u2019 Choice Awards\u00a0for\u00a0Best Animated Feature\u00a0and\u00a0Best Original Song\u00a0(\u201cLet It Go\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>At the\u00a057th Annual Grammy Awards, the\u00a0\u201cFrozen\u201d\u00a0soundtrack won the\u00a0Grammy Award\u00a0for\u00a0Best Compilation Soundtrack For Visual Media\u00a0and was nominated for\u00a0Best Score Soundtrack For Visual Media. \u201cLet It Go\u201d received the\u00a0Best Song Written For Visual Media\u00a0award, with credits to Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez as songwriters and Idina Menzel as performer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAudiences love \u2018Frozen\u2019 because the music is great and it\u2019s a really heartfelt story,\u201d said Davis. \u201cThere is real emotion in the story \u2013 and real humor in the story.

The current run at the theater in Arden will mark its Candlelight premiere.<\/p>\n<p>The cast for the show includes many Candlelight veterans including Anthony Connell (Phillip Baz, Bazzard), Dan Healy (James Throttle), Julia Kershetsky (Alice Nutting, Edwin Drood), Sarah Mackus (Beatrice), Constance Clay Pelesh (Princess Puffer, Angela Prysock), Samantha Ricchiuti (Florence Gill), Shaun Yates (Nick Cricker) and Victoria Healy (Ensemble).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t know a thing about this show,\u201d said Connell, during a phone interview Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n<p>The Candlelight Theatre provided some information with this message on its website and handout flyers \u2013<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTHE MYSTERY of EDWIN DROOD, based on Charles Dickens\u2019 final unfinished novel, is presented by a delightfully zany, vaudeville-type company at The Music Hall Royale.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe story features John Jasper, a Jekyll-and-Hyde choirmaster who is quite madly in love with the fair Miss Rosa Bud who is engaged to Jasper\u2019s nephew, young Edwin Drood. Drood disappears after dinner on a stormy night and is thought to have been murdered. If so, then whodunnit?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYOU, the audience, must decide and vote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust how many possible endings can there be? The secret is in the number of combinations made possible by three separate sets of roles chosen by you, the audience. The total? 480!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhich show will you see? You vote on the ending, so it\u2019s entirely up to you!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As\u00a0\u201cDrood\u201d is\u00a0metatheatrical, the characters of the play\u00a0\u201cThe Mystery of Edwin Drood\u201d\u00a0are played by actors of the \u201cMusic Hall Royale,\u201d within the production.<\/p>\n<p>Metatheatre, and the closely related term\u00a0metadrama, describes the aspects of a\u00a0play\u00a0that draw attention to its nature as\u00a0drama\u00a0or\u00a0theatre, or to the circumstances of its performance.\u00a0\u201cBreaking the Fourth Wall\u201d\u00a0is an example of a metatheatrical device.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a murder mystery,\u201d said Connell. \u201cIt\u2019s a fun show with great audience participation. The audience votes on who they think murdered Edwin Drood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There are quite a few suspects.<\/p>\n<p>John Jasper\u00a0\u2013 Jasper was madly in love with Rosa Bud, and his violent split personality gladly killed Drood. His confession is a reprise of \u201cA Man Could Go Quite Mad\u201d and \u201cMoonfall.\u201d Jasper\u2019s confession is performed no matter who is chosen as the murderer, and the audience is discouraged from voting for him since he is the obvious solution.<\/p>\n<p>Rosa Bud\u00a0\u2013 Meant to kill Jasper in revenge for his lustful advances and also due to her own mental instability caused by Jasper&#8217;s persecution, but killed Drood by accident as Drood was wearing Jasper&#8217;s coat. Her confession is a reprise of \u201cA Man Could Go Quite Mad\u201d and \u201cNo Good Can Come From Bad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Neville Landless\u00a0\u2013 Humiliated by Drood, Neville murdered him in order to regain his pride and also to have a chance with Rosa Bud. His confession is a reprise of \u201cA Man Could Go Quite Mad\u201d and \u201cNo Good Can Come From Bad\u201d in the original Broadway production, later changed to \u201cA British Subject.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Helena Landless\u00a0\u2013 Knowing her brother\u2019s hot temper, Helena murdered Drood so Neville would not be tempted to seek revenge. Her confession is a reprise of \u201cA Man Could Go Quite Mad\u201d and \u201cNo Good Can Come From Bad\u201d in the original Broadway production, later changed to \u201cA British Subject.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Princess Puffer\u00a0\u2013 Intended to kill Jasper in order to protect Rosa from his advances, but accidentally killed Drood because he was wearing Jasper\u2019s coat and because she was confused after having smoked opium for Dutch courage. Her confession is a reprise of \u201cThe Wages of Sin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Rev. Mr. Crisparkle\u00a0\u2013 Crisparkle was madly in love with Rosa\u2019s mother, and he saw Rosa as a reincarnation of her. He murdered Drood so that he could marry Rosa, thinking her to be the woman he loved. This version of Crisparkle\u2019s confession was introduced in the first national tour and has been used in all productions since. His confession is a reprise of \u201cA Man Could Go Quite Mad\u201d and \u201cNo Good Can Come From Bad\u201d in the original Broadway production, later changed to \u201cA British Subject.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Durdles\u00a0\u2013 After Jasper laid Drood in the crypt, Durdles believed the still-alive Drood to be a ghost and so smashed his head in. (Even Durdles admits the silliness of this motive within his solo, but laments that because he has been chosen, he must have one.) This solo was not used in the original Broadway production and was added for the first national tour. His confession is a reprise of \u201cOff to the Races.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bazzard\u00a0\u2013 In an effort to boost his role in the show, murders Drood. This is definitely the most metatheatrical of the endings. His confession is a reprise of \u201cA Man Could Go Quite Mad\u201d and \u201cNever the Luck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBazzard is a fun role,\u201d said Connell, who majored in musical theater at DeSales University in Center Valley (near Allentown). \u201cHe comes on and sings one song \u2013 \u2018Never the Luck.\u2019 Then, we all have one song at the end \u2013 if we get voted in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There are all sorts of clues throughout the play concerning who the murderer might be. Audience members take notes and play a role in the play\u2019s final stages.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAudiences like it,\u201d said Connell. \u201cIt\u2019s something different \u2013 something interactive. Audiences always live murder mysteries. Personally, I like when actors can go into the audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like most of the actors in the show, Connell has dual character roles &#8212; Phillip Baz and Bazzard. He also has dual overall roles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m also the props master,\u201d said Connell, a sculptor, miniaturist and painter whose painting \u201cOpening Night at the Candlelight\u201d hangs in the theater\u2019s lobby.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have posters hung in Victorian style around the dining area. Some are authentic show posters from the era, and some are parodies like \u2018Rats\u2019 instead of \u2018Cats.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Connell is a true Candlelight veteran. He has performed in more than 40 shows at the comfortable dinner theater in Arden.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is my 12th year doing shows at Candlelight,\u201d said Connell, from his home in Chichester.<\/p>\n<p>Connell has returned to live in his childhood neighborhood \u2013 partly because of its proximity to the Candlelight Theater (five miles) and partly because it\u2019s his home turf. He attended grade school at Holy Saviour in Marcus Hook (which closed in 2015) and high school at Cardinal O\u2019Hara in Springfield.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy first show was \u2018Miss Saigon\u2019 in 2012. My favorites are \u2018Young Frankenstein\u2019 and \u2018The Producers.\u2019 \u2018Into the Woods\u2019 is another big favorite of mine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Candlelight\u00a0Theatre is presenting \u201cThe Mystery of Edwin Drood\u201d now through April 21.
