Ukrainian girl behind viral ‘Let It Go’ video surprised by cast of Frozen The Musical

A young girl who went viral after singing Let It Go from a Ukrainian bomb shelter has been surprised by the cast of Frozen The Musical.

Amelia Anisovych’s performance of the song made headlines across the world in March before she and her family were able to reach safety in Poland.

Earlier this month Amelia was invited to perform on The National Lottery’s New Year’s Eve Big Bash – airing Saturday night on ITV1 – where she was surprised at the end of her song.

The eight-year-old looked overjoyed as she was joined on stage by the West End stars of Frozen The Musical, led by Samantha Barks and Emily Lane.
