Diamond Head Theatre casts an icy spell over the heat of Hawaii’s kauwela with its 2023-2024 season closer of Disney’s Frozen, a “monster” of a show and a tremendous get for the Hawai’i theatre scene. This is by far one of the biggest undertakings artistically and technically in recent DHT history, even bringing on Broadway vet Charlie Williams to direct, who has been a part of this show since its pre-Broadway run in 2017. In the program, Mr. Williams waxes poetic about his experience with the community here on the island and at our community theatre (despite the decidedly non-community-theatre base ticket price of $68—nearly double that of past shows— but that’s another story never mind, anyway…). Frozen is, at its core, a story about the power of community, and I agree with him that our local performers innately understand the proverbial assignment.
