Many young girls dream of becoming a Disney queen, but few are as fortunate or talented as Aussie Disney On Ice cast member Simone Aubrecht who will live out her fantasy in front of home fans this winter as Frozen’s Elsa.

The world-conquering production will launch its Magic in the Stars tour of Australia with a three-day run at Perth’s RAC Arena beginning Friday morning.

Cast as the only Australian, Aubrecht, 22, is a former competitive figure skater who was “born onto the ice” and raised in NSW’s Blue Mountains by figure-skating parents.

Learning to skate at just three, she said her goal was always to be a performer over a competitor, and joined Disney On Ice in late 2025 where she’s already amassed roughly 200 shows across Asia.

Embodying a character renowned for harnessing the power of ice and snow, the emerging talent feels fulfilled playing a role she deeply connects with.

“Elsa is a character that is so powerful, strong and independent, and I very much personally relate to her as well,” Aubrecht told PerthNow.

“So it’s definitely a dream of mine, and I can see it when I’m performing — There’s a lot of little kids dressed as Elsa, so I’m very happy to bring that to them.”

Long-time favourites Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Daisy are also set to please, along with Rapunzel, Moana, Buzz Lightyear, and many more.

Those wondering how this spectacle differs from the Find Your Hero tour which hit WA in July 2025 can expect a greater ensemble of beloved characters — 56 in total — and more than 12 different stories told.

Beyond familiar faces, the newer production promises showstopping pyrotechnics, thrilling special effects, eye-catching costumes, and stunning set designs.

“This show definitely has something for everybody. We have true classics like Snow White and Cinderella, but then we also have newer characters and newer segments like Frozen Two, and Raya and the Last Dragon, so it’s one of those shows where if you come with your grandmother, your mother, and your daughter, everybody has ability to see their absolute favourite character,” Aubrecht said.

Offering advice to her co-performers ahead of the jaunt — with many yet to debut on Aussie shores — she said don’t believe everything you hear.

“Everybody’s afraid to see spiders and snakes, but with the cities that we’re going to be in, and I’m calming them all down,” she teased.

Following Perth, Disney On Ice’s Magic in the Stars will land in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Newcastle, and Sydney.

Although Aubrecht has performed for her friends and family previously in a competitive setting, it’ll be the first time they see the NSW native take the ice as a professional performer.

Donning Elsa’s famous blonde mane, they may not actually recognise her.

“I’ve been doing professional figure skating for about two and a half years now, so this is the first time that they’ll be able to actually see it, which is really good,” she said.

On Thursday, a select few VIP Perth fans were afforded the opportunity to see skaters rehearse, including Aussie Elsa, and sneak a peek into their wardrobe.

Young superfan Ariella’Jayne Hollis-Tobin (Ari), 11, was named after The Little Mermaid’s Ariel and has been attending shows since before she could talk.

A budding performer, she is inspired by her mother Jodie who featured as a contortionist on Australia’s Got Talent in 2011.

“I just love Disney and I love acting,” she said.

Ari hopes to take the stage one day as a professional and is a keen cast member in plays at school.

Asked which characters she could imagine playing one day, Ari said: “Maybe Ariel, or Cinderalla.”

Disney On Ice’s Magic in the Stars plays at RAC Arena from June 12 to 14.
