Meet the Stars of the 'Frozen' National Tour with These 10 Fun Facts! (Exclusive)

The National Tour of the Broadway musical Frozen just launched in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre and we caught up with the show’s two stars – Caroline Bowman and Caroline Innerbichler – to learn more about them!

Both of the actresses have extensive theatre backgrounds and Disney even entrusted them with debuting a brand new song for the musical, which isn’t even part of the Broadway production yet. We have five fun facts on each star for a special edition of our 10 Fun Facts feature. Check it out:

Caroline Bowman (Elsa)

  • 1. I managed my dad’s wrestling team all four years of high school. My dad was the coach and he’s such a huge supporter of mine so it was always so nice to be around him in his element! Plus, I think it’s cool that I know how to score wrestling matches.
  • 2. Before I wanted to be an actor I wanted to be a veterinarian. Then I found out you have to put animals to sleep and I couldn’t handle that. So I decided to be in a less heartbreaking business… lol.
  • 3. As I get older, I realize I have to serve my introvert more often. Even though I’m pretty outgoing, I really refuel when I’m alone and truly must have that time with myself to function well socially and in this industry.
  • 4. Playing Elsa and having Caroline Innerbichler as my sister is the probably the most profound and rewarding experience of my life. My big sister passed away when I was 3 years old and she was six. Getting to experience having a sister and loving her more than anything every day is the greatest gift and has opened up a door to my sister Meghan that I didn’t know I so badly needed.
  • 5. Every single birthday wish I can remember before November 22, 2011 was wishing to be on Broadway. My Broadway debut was in Wicked as the Elphaba understudy :)
