AURORA, Ill. (WLS) — “Disney’s Frozen The Broadway Musical” is a mega hit of the season at the Paramount Theatre in Aurora.

Everleigh and Elowen Murphy play “young” Elsa and Anna. They alternate with two other suburban girls, appearing in up to five shows a week.

The sisters are 12 and 9 years old, and have already been in commercials and stage shows.

It’s in the genes: Dad is a musician, and mom was an actress and theater director.

“Elsa is a complex character, often struggling with inner turmoil. She can come across as mysterious and aloof. However, what makes portraying her younger self so exciting is that at the start of the show, we witness her carefree side, revealing a whole new dimension to her character before she becomes burdened by her powers,” explained Everleigh Murphy.

“I play young Anna; she has such a fun, spunky attitude. She’s really playful and a little mischievous,” Elowen Murphy said.

The sisters get to be in the production together.

“Having a real-life sister is really fun because you know that someone’s always got your back,” Elowen Murphy said.

Everleigh Murphy said she hopes to act in the future.

“My ultimate goal is to perform on Broadway and star in a movie. Acting is my passion, and I intend to pursue it relentlessly. I’ve been acting professionally since the age of 6, and it all began right here at Paramount,” she shared.

She promised this is “one of the best shows” audiences can see.

“It is an amazing experience. You will always want to see it again. It will be like you are in some type of dream, and it’ll be wonderful,” Elowen Murphy said.

This is a regional production, with most of the cast and crew from the Chicago area.

“Frozen” has earned rave reviews, and will be at the Paramount Theatre through Jan. 19.
