We kick off our backstage adventure in the dressing room of leading lady Patti Murin, who stars as Anna. Today, Patti is having a mini princess party with the four young actresses who alternate the roles of Young Anna and Young Elsa at the beginning of the show, Fiona Morgan Quinn, Winter Donnelly, Mimi Ryder and Charlie Tassone.
