高雄美國學校繼去年推出《小美人魚》音樂劇廣受好評、成功吸引各界關注後，今年再度乘勝追擊，推出旋律動人、深受大小朋友喜愛的冰雪奇緣系列音樂劇。延續去年的製作水準並全面升級，再次掀起校園藝文表演熱潮。
本次演出規模全面擴大，場次增加至四場，參與學生人數達101人，橫跨國小至高中各年級。跨學部的合作不僅展現學生多元才華，也體現學校在藝術教育上的整合實力。即使演出場次增加，門票開賣後仍迅速引發搶購，並於演出前近一個月全數售罄，顯示觀眾對高雄美國學校藝文展演品質的高度信任與支持。
在導演Amber Lanning的帶領下，學生們投入大量時間與心力於排練與準備，在歌唱、舞蹈及戲劇詮釋上皆展現顯著進步。無論是角色塑造或舞台表現，都比去年更加成熟細膩，充分展現學習成果與團隊合作精神。
值得一提的是，本次演出同時凝聚了學校社群的力量。志工家長積極參與幕後支援與現場協助，成為演出順利進行的重要後盾，也讓整體製作更臻完善。
製作團隊在整體舞台呈現上亦精益求精。除了專業等級的舞台道具與服裝設計外，本次更特別將台灣在地文化元素融入演出之中——劇服設計細膩地結合台灣原住民圖騰，於細節處展現巧思與文化尊重，不僅提升整體視覺層次，也讓國際學校的藝術展演更具在地連結與文化深度。
此外，演出更導入演唱會等級的手燈燈光設計，透過燈光節奏與音樂的結合，讓觀眾能即時參與互動，打造沉浸式觀演體驗。台上台下氣氛熱烈，驚喜連連，現場掌聲與歡呼聲不斷，觀眾反應極為熱烈。
不少觀眾表示，本次演出無論在表演水準、舞台設計或整體創意上，皆展現接近專業劇場的品質，令人印象深刻。這不僅是一場精彩的音樂劇，更是一場融合藝術、文化、教育與社群力量的成果展現。
高雄美國學校長期致力於推動多元學習，透過大型表演活動培養學生的自信心、表達能力與團隊合作精神。《冰雪奇緣》音樂劇的成功演出，不僅為觀眾留下深刻回憶，也為學生們的學習歷程增添重要里程碑，更展現出學校、家庭與社群攜手合作所激盪出的卓越成果與創新能量。
Following last year’s widely acclaimed production of The Little Mermaid, which drew significant attention and praise, Kaohsiung American School has once again raised the bar with this year’s Frozen musical. Featuring beloved music and a story cherished by audiences of all ages, the production builds on last year’s success with an upgraded scale and quality, once again igniting enthusiasm for the performing arts on campus.
This year’s production expanded significantly, increasing to four performances and involving a total of 101 students from elementary through high school. This cross-divisional collaboration not only highlights students’ diverse talents but also demonstrates the school’s strength in integrated arts education. Despite the increased number of shows, tickets sold out nearly a month in advance, reflecting strong audience confidence in the school’s high-quality productions.
Under the direction of Amber Lanning, students dedicated extensive time and effort to rehearsals and preparation, showing marked improvement in singing, dancing, and dramatic performance. Their character portrayals and stage presence were notably more refined and mature than in the previous year, showcasing both individual growth and strong teamwork.
Notably, this production also reflects the strength of the school community. Parent volunteers played an active role in backstage and on-site support, serving as an essential backbone to the smooth execution of the performances and contributing to the overall success of the production.
The production team also demonstrated a commitment to excellence in stage presentation. In addition to professional-level sets and costumes, this year’s design thoughtfully incorporated elements of Taiwanese local culture. Costume designs featured indigenous Taiwanese patterns, adding depth and cultural significance while enhancing the overall visual experience.
Furthermore, the production introduced concert-style light stick effects, synchronizing lighting with music to create an interactive and immersive audience experience. The atmosphere was vibrant and dynamic, with continuous applause and enthusiastic audience engagement throughout the performances.
Audience members noted that the production approached professional theater standards in performance quality, stage design, and overall creativity. It was not only an outstanding musical but also a meaningful showcase integrating art, culture, education, and community collaboration.
Kaohsiung American School remains committed to fostering well-rounded learning experiences. Through large-scale performances like Frozen, students develop confidence, expressive abilities, and teamwork skills. The success of this production not only leaves lasting memories for audiences but also marks an important milestone in students’ learning journeys, highlighting the powerful outcomes of collaboration among the school, families, and the broader community.
