A/N: I'm going through a Frozen the Musical phase at eighteen. Does that make me a loser? I don't care. I already unironically love Cats(stage version).


"Five minutes to curtain," Bruno called. He was the director of the local community's theater's newest production. Bruno was already downing his fifth cup of coffee. Bruno sighed, knowing he had a long night ahead of him. Bruno's pleas not to touch props that don't belong to them fell on deaf ears.

"Thank you, five," most of the cast yelled. The actors were doing the final touches to their makeup and costumes. Camilo, who would play the role of Olaf in Frozen, put on his carrot nose. Luisa, who played Queen Iduna, was the only one who was completely ready. All she needed was for her microphone to get hooked up.

Dolores was happy she didn't appear in the first few scenes. Somehow, she landed herself the role of Elsa. Mirabel was playing her opposite to her as Anna. Dolores was incredibly nervous, even after two months of rehearsal. She wasn't used to being in the spotlight. Isabela was always the attention grabber, yet Dolores beat her for the role.

Isabela sat at the makeup desk beside her. "Is it too late for you to go on as Elsa?" Dolores asked. Isabela was in the ensemble, but she was also Dolores's understudy. "I don't think I can do this."

"Why?" Isabela asked. "You've been great at all our rehearsals."

"But tonight we're performing in front of our friends and family," Dolores said.

"Yeah," Isabela laughed. "So, we're getting good reviews anyway."

Though it was clear Isabela was joking, it didn't help Dolores's nerves. "Hey," Isabela said. "You're going to do great. I know you will. When the curtain opens, all of your nerves will go away. You will no longer be Dolores. You will be Queen Elsa of Arendelle."

"How are you so confident?" Dolores asked.

"Fake it till you make it," Isabela shrugged.

"Has anyone seen my gloves?" Alejandra, who played young Elsa, asked.

"They should be on the prop table," Isabela called. Mariano, who played Hans, of course, entered the dressing room.

"Time to get miked up," Mariano called. "Come on, everyone! Time to put on a musical."
