Kids Acting Out FROZEN in Backyard Seem to Have Tapped Into Something: It’s Really Good?

by Jake Alexander.

EAST LYME, CT - Residents of the Pruitt Drive neighborhood were enraptured by the four local children who were acting out the entirety of Frozen in their backyard this morning.

“At first I thought it was some spider-man/ironman bullshit, because everything is Marvel nowadays,” reported neighbor Andrew Lewis, standing on the edge of his driveway, captivated by the way the kids created the world of Arendelle right before his eyes. “But then I heard little Olivia's fresh take on 'Do You Want to Build a Snowman?' and I was in it with them.”

Residents from around the neighborhood soon gathered to watch the children perform the entirety of the movie, which began to mix with elements of the musical, as influenced by the Dolan family's recent trip to see tour at the Garde Arts Center.

Gina Dolan (age nine)'s rendition brought of “Let It Go” brought the crowd to their feet, which launched her into an encore performance, from the very top. 

“We canceled our dinner reservations at Chili’s to watch this!” said the Wilson couple, Linda and George, who had brought lawn chairs out to their front porch. "There’s some magic here! They figured out throwing packing peanuts around for snow, and the abominable snow man? Using an already-there standing tree in the yard. Incredible!”

The neighborhood was particularly amazed by the youngest Dolan sibling’s ability to play both Hans and Olaf, using a booming voice for the prince, and a squeaky, almost unintelligible voice for the snowman. 

“This is high art,” said Lewis, wiping away tears. “I went to MassArt for two years, so I should know.”

“I’m just glad they aren’t playing their typical games” said the young theatre troupe's mother, Janice. She stated that their typical game was called “Rock War,” and involved whipping rocks at each other until tears were shed.
