I love this video because you get to see things from backstage. It kind of shines a light on how much work goes into a production like this from the set decorations being lowered at exactly the right moment, where she is on stage at each moment that makes it all flow. The background vocals that most people probably are hearing but not even really noticing - yet fully add to the whole experience. The costume change, and how its so quick and effortless, but there is someone under the stage waiting for their cue to pull it off. All of this goes into making what you see on the stage look so great.
Just after Elsa hits her mark and the trapdoor is opened behind her for that insta-change, I imagine it must have been reassuring to feel her dresser adjust the back hem of her dress. (You can just barely see it in the video) For the actress to physically feel (even subconciously) that her dresser is there and ready must make it so much easier for the artist to focus where the focus should be--on her performance. As a retired production stage manager, I applaud that often-disregarded silent communication between an artist and her quick-change dresser. Nicely done, BOTH of you!
I agree. I love videos like this because there are so many people working behind the scenes to pull off what you see on stage... those people don't always get the credit they deserve for the work they do.
I saw frozen on broadway at the St. James theater on October 10th 2018 when i was 8 years old and i loved it just watching this vid makes me wish i went back to see it again plus cassie levy and Patti Murin as anna and elsa are amazing their roles as ana and elsa fits them perfectly
I’m so grateful I got to see this with the original cast. Disney Theatricals knows how to DO IT on Broadway. Can’t wait to see their next production, I’m looking right at you Hercules tryout at Papermill Playhouse.
@@KatyMontana434 I don’t think the person who was filming was singing . But yeah , I know theyre cast , the fact that they’re backstage just shouts “cast” to me . But what I’m wondering is the person singing ? What’s his name ?
The mics of the ensembles will turn on, on specific cues so they can sing back up vocals even though they are in the wings. That's why you have to be careful not to talk too much or just memorize your cues.
