There were too many good conversations during this interview, so instead of editing the good conversations out, it's split into two parts. This part, the first half, is mainly about Chelsea's Frozen at The Hyperion journey as Elsa.

About Chelsea Emma Franko:
(bio from https://www.chelseaemmafranko.com)
Picture it: 13 year old Chelsea is on summer vacation with her parents in New York City for the first time. They see 11 Broadway shows in 10 days, the FIRST one being Thoroughly Modern Millie (with Sutton Foster, of course.) There it was. That was the moment; the moment Chelsea decided to leave behind her dream of being a CSI: Crime Scene Investigator (as a tire specialist, thank you very much) and pursue a career in musical theatre.
Many moons went by and she started working her way up the figurative Southern California regional theatre ladder. She studied acting, dance, and voice. She went to hundreds of auditions and many workshops. She even won a few competitions. Chelsea was a "goner" as they say. She was hooked and there was no turning back. She landed a few exciting jobs and played a few iconic roles. She was marrying King Arthur by a lake and designing frozen fractals all around. She celebrated a world where another hundred of people apparently got off of the train and had Hope that the people could pee for free. She penned the name Shoeless Joe and was just a girl who couldn't say no. Chelsea was 100% doing it.
Cut to today. Chelsea is traveling the country, living her dream every single day.
Every single day she remembers that wide-eyed 13 year old girl, sitting in awe of those Broadway actors giving their all.
Every day Chelsea tries to live up to the standard of excellence she experienced all those years ago.
Because why settle for mediocrity?
