“Nothing stagey happens on the Old Testament” The prince of Egypt, children of Eden, and Joseph and the Amazing technicolor dream coat not to mention like 20 or more operas and oratorios are side eyeing this

I've seen the show twice and for some reason I liked it a lot better the second time. It could have been because I had a kid with me the second time. It was her first Broadway show and seeing it with her practically jumping out of her seat next to me was truly magical. And yes, when they said that bit before the show started, welcoming those who've never been to a professional show before, I did tear up. I thought of how important theater has been in my life and how this could be the start of it in theirs.

hi micky jo on saturday the 11th of may i went to see frozen with all my family and i absolutely loved it the theatre had been refurbished into a theatre that had art deco and even bigger my thoughts on the show itself and my favourite was the music very moving and very magical going across the backdrop was just beautiful the sets out of this world the lighting design was really cleverly done and samantha barks as Elsa wow what an voice she had i also thought she basically soared above the audience with such an incredible warm and powerful voice and her let it go just pure class iwhen she hit the last bit of it i had a cold spine down my back absoulutely just phenomenal outstanding performnace by samantha barks it really was for me i liked anna played by Laura Dawks she had a nice and caressing sweet sound to herself.i thought the bridge was very well done they pulled it forward and very clever i had never seen a show that features magical and touching songs that i liked this was my first time to see it forever frozen for me magical full of amazing scenes and sets the lighting absolutely fantastic i had never frozen before not since it came from broadway as i did not know how much i loved the show.the way they bought it to life with amazing ice bits allover the border of the screen the smoke and flashing lights going off and the crystals spinning around the ceiling during let it go was very well done what show would nt mind seeing itagain just i cannot speak for what i have just seen bought smiles to my face and i fell in love with the show. now goti loved the theatre the CD of the show of when it came to ne york and cex to get the two frozen 1 and 2.this was my first time to go and see frozen a show that i had never seen and i really loved it. there were no negative things about it all. number one show for me and new one to my list. i loved the theatre itself it looks fresh and new.a very good and talented show. the atmosphere was amazing i had never seen anything like it before seats were warm and i was up in the gods. jeremy.

I see it most weeks through the Monday tickets (as well as The Lion King) - I never thought about how the first act is dragged out so Let It Go can be the end of act showstopper. I suppose they did it just well enough that some will notice and some won't. I love the whole show and even Hygge grew on me after seeing it a couple of times, and is now one of my favourite parts!

What I want from a Disney stage show is to take the source material and DO something with it. Do SOMETHING that differentiates it. The Lion King is obviously the gold standard for DOING something with the original source material. Aladdin didn't do anything interesting at all, and that's why it felt flat to me. I'm going to be super controversial and say the current touring production of Beauty & the Beast isn't doing much for me either. Mary Poppins really takes the original material, captures the heart of it, then elevates the f**k out of it for the stage (no flying pun intended). Frozen... almost achieves it. I feel like it's 75% of the way towards doing something but just misses the mark a tiny bit. Completely agree with your 4/5 rating. I really enjoyed it, but I wouldn't necessarily rush to see it again.

I've seen this twice now and loved it, although I agree there are a few parts that drag a little and others where it feels rushed. Hygge is a 'WTF' moment for sure (a big lipped alligator moment if anyone gets that reference) but it's still plenty of fun. I was disappointed that they got rid of the first time in forever reprise at first, but actually I think 'I Can't Lose You' is great and adds a lot more depth to the sister's relationship. Elsa is given a bit more to do but ultimately it's Anna's story and both Stephanie McKeon and Sarah O'Connor are fantastic in the role.

I saw this Saturday night! Great review, although I would have knocked a star (or two) off your rating. I wrote the dance music for the original Broadway Beauty And The Beast, and I feel like Alan Menken did a better job of expanding those movie songs into a fuller Broadway score. Too much of the Frozen score seemed uninspired, and the Lopezes never seemed to find a unifying style for the show. Hygge is indeed batshit crazy, but the little girl sitting behind me found it hilarious, so I'll give it a pass. Question: how many times is a Disney show going to rewrite Hakuna Matata? You were correct in calling this a Nordic Lion King. The vocal arranger for Frozen is Stephen Oremus, who wrote the "Lion King-like" vocal arrangements in The Book of Mormon, and although he did an excellent job here, the choral moments sound like they're straining to create a Finnish mystique. You make an excellent point about the show treading water so that "Let It Go" can be the 1st act curtain. A lot of shows have built in structure problems like this. One of the difficulties with musical adaptations of movies is that movies generally have 3 acts, but musicals have 2. But the show isn't FOR me. The audience was filled with children dressed in princess outfits, and they had a great time. I also grew misty at the opening announcement. Probably my main problem with the show was attending it as a single man, which, as I was surrounded by children, made me feel a bit creepy.

It should have never been changed.

Having seen the show on Broadway and in London, I can indeed confirm they have added lines by the mother in the prologue to include revelations that were made in Frozen 2. Also Olaf now calls out Samantha later in the show, a gag also taken from frozen 2. I do love the show, and think they have vastly improved it from the Broadway version, but yeh I completely agree with what you say about Hygge, should have been cut.

Very fair review, I'd give it a three myself. Definitely odd production, especially as the template was all there in the film, but I suppose they wanted to put their own stamp on it all. The result is very jumbled, definitely odd pacing, beginning is very different, no young Christoph Ice cutting song, Sven is totally silent the whole way, no moose sounds, nothing, just felt like a vacant space of a character. Christoph felt kind of absent as a character, definitely cut down. I felt a kind of "Huh?" vibe from the audience around me much of the way through. If you just want to see the songs on stage then yes that's great, if you want a cohesive story and developed characters then no. And Hygge was just weird, yes weird.

I honestly loved it, thought Oliver Ormson as Hans was actually the strongest on the night - Samantha Barks was incredibly but clearly struggling a little voice wise on the night I was in (it happens, she was still fab) and think he gets overlooked in a lot in the discussion. I do have to say Hygge's long number was just, no - cut it, it serves no one and d r a g s. However overall the staging of the show was lovely and it only really needs tweaking in my opinion but someone put Hygee out his misery and get the second half as strong as the first!

I love the movie of Frozen so much, and saw the show both on Broadway as well as in London, and I largely agree with you! The timing is way off in so much of this, and some of the staging is a little odd. Especially the Hans reveal scene, it’s so quick it gave me whiplash. And having seen it on Broadway, they’ve changed it quite a lot for the West End, including all of the references to Frozen II. I preferred it on Broadway honestly, I’m not keen on the changes. As a Scandinavian I like Hygge! It’s basically chock full of references to Scandinavian culture, including the nudeness I’m sorry to say, and to me I like it just because it’s a reminder of where it’s supposed to be set and the Andersen tale that inspired it. It’s just a comedy take on our culture, which I understand might feel weird if you’re unfamiliar with it.

On broadway ‘What Do You Know About Love?’ was the biggest surprise and it was brilliant (on a wicked syle ropey hanging bridge rather than cliff-looking thing they have in london) but in london they really cut down the song which was a bit disappointing. But overall i absolutely loved it and would love to see it with sam barks and steph mckeon as i saw the understudies (who were fab!)

When you got to the list of disappointments/issues, I thought "this sounds more like a 3-star show at best," but your ending summary explained the overall positive and even magical experience. I haven't seen the show, so just have two comments: 1) I swear I thought you were saying "Hugo" and was wondering "who TF is Hugo?! New character? And... why is he naked?" Only in the comments did I see "Hygge" and feel like a dope. And 2) Is that t-shirt an homage to the Hamilton poster/logo?! Because that's fantastic if so. Anyway thanks for your humor and charm--I just love this channel.

When I'd seen videos of the West End production, I was kind of confused about why they were using American accents -- it's not like it's set in the US or anything -- but what you said about kids expecting it to sound like the movie makes sense. (That thought also just reminded me of several Les Mis productions I've seen in the US where Gavroche and the Thenardiers (but not Eponine) have Cockney accents, while everyone else sounds American. Very curious about the thought process of the directors who made that choice.)

I was amused by how impressed you were by the dress reveal, because, while it was done smoothly in the performance I saw, up in the gods the little hole appearing in the stage was extremely obvious and it pissed me off they hadn't checked you couldn't see it from that view. Other than that (and whatever happened in Hygge) it was very fun and I think your assessment is very fair Oh and also! In the production I saw Anna had a costume error during the early scene where she's getting changed and the actress dealt with it so smoothly and in character that for a moment I thought it was intentional which was most impressive

So so agree with everything you’ve mentioned. I saw the show in Adelaide , Australia last Thursday and while I really enjoyed it and had an amazing time- the show itself wasn’t as strong as it could’ve been. And the amount of scenes that were either way too long or rushed was insane! Also felt like Anna and Kristoffs romance storyline came out of nowhere too, whilst in the movie it showed their budding love. Also I can’t lose you, good song but it doesn’t work, getting rid of the reprise was a horrible mistake. And legit , the Hans reveal was so rushed and Anna not having her song anymore after that made it feel very empty. I wish it could’ve taken notes from Anastasia, which imo is the best animated movie to musical translation.

It’s a true spectacle to see, but the original music isn’t quite as good as Beauty And The Beast or The Lion King. And just like you, I got a lot of joy seeing Sven come on stage. Still holding out hope for a Moana or Princess And The Frog musical.

When you talked about Hygge and the nakedness I got really confused. I went to see Frozen in Hamburg last month and Hygge is done in a totally different way. There is one reference to nudity but everyone is wearing winter gear during the whole song. Maybe the German producers wanted the song to stay a bit more child-appropriate. Nice to see that there are some differences in the international versions.

Saw it on Broadway in 2019 and in my opinion, Hygge is the only good thing in the show 😅 As a scandinavian it was hillarious to see the references to our cultures and I really enjoyed that it made the world of Arendelle seem part of it. I know and usually don't mind when musicals need to change things from the source material but I don't think Frozen translated well on stage, unfortunately

I wish Mary poppin’s would do a full U.K. tour. I saw beauty and the beast in March it was amazing 5 star only lion king tops it. also saw bednobs and broomsticks but while I really enjoyed the special effects personally I was let down by the new ending I can understand some people liking it but it didn’t work for me at all.

I skipped a few bits. But I’m going to say this anyway. I thought Frozen was beautiful for a Disney movie. But I wasn’t hyped for it to expand since the buzz was too overwhelming for me. So I was scared I wouldn’t miss out too much. Especially with the two act structure. So I’m glad I’m sparing myself the agony by not buying a ticket to the U.S. tour.

I know the show is designed for families and children but the children sitting around us ruined the show for me. Why take small children who can’t sit still and are obviously bored through the whole thing except “Let it go” The two mums of the group of children were having a natter through the show and sharing things on their phones. The children were climbing over the seats and laying across the back of the seats on to our laps. I honestly couldn’t remember any of the second act. It put me off any family shows in the future
@nataliejakacic2272

I loved this show, but my main problem is that it feels like it has so many extremely repetitive songs where Elsa is just feeling sorry for herself and it doesn't really add much to her character or drive the show forward.
@chrnogirl
@chrnogirl 2 года назад
I just saw matinee of the US touring and it was....ok. The stage production really highlights the fact that the latter half of the film has NO songs so most of the songs from the second half didn't feel as good as the songs from the first. They felt tacked on compared to the songs from the first half that really were a better quality. (They probably had way more time to create the songs for the film versus the new songs for the show) If they ever did a stage show for the 2nd movie this wont be as much of a problem because they had more of a steady stream of songs throughout so it wont be as jarring. The set for the ice castle was 🔥! I am 100% in agreement that the staging for the end where Anna turns into ice was just...reaaalllyy underwhelming. The suggested nudity from Hygge was weeeiirrdd but that song for me was easily the best of the 2nd half and the only non film song I added to my spotify lol

Australia production - 3 stars out of 5. See it because it's pretty. From a creative side of things it looks amazing. Set, costumes, lighting are all very impressive. The casting was fine. The negative side of things is for Disney and creative team. The multiple dialogue additions to the script drag out scenes way to long, new songs, extended songs, and some dance segments are slotted in only to stretch the run time out. I was sitting there thinking why? Why was this a good decision? Why wasn't this shortened or cut? None of this moves the story along. There were some very bored children around me, and only interested when the songs from the movies started or the scenes they knew. While I know musicals need light and shade, there was too much character development songs over and over and over. Disney Cruise ship performed this show in under an hour kept my attention and delivered a better over all performance and didn't fill it with fluff and had a particular better ending of the show. Disney on Ice can do the same in around 90 mins also. I left the theatre wondering what went wrong with this mega money stage show and it feel like they ran out of time in the workshops prior to the show opening and and just went "this will have to do". It's almost Frozen, but it has so many issues that it wasn't solid enough. This is a musical that wont be repeat viewing for me just like Aladdin, Mary Poppins, and Lion King.

I agree with a lot of what you said. I think the timing is pretty weird, and I think “In Summer” could move to the spot right after “Hygge” to match the film. Also, I definitely agree that “Hygge” should be cut down a ton to allow the room to reinstate “True Love”, which was my favorite song from the new material. I love “Dangerous to Dream”, but “Monster” feels a bit rushed. I really love “I Can’t Lose You”, because I feel it adds emotional depth that the reprise didn’t contain, but I wholeheartedly agree that Elsa’s sudden coldness following the number is a bit off-putting and bizarre. At the risk of running the show a bit long, I think to add the dramatic buildup and musically freeze Anna they should have had both numbers: “I Can’t Lose You” followed by the chorus only of the reprise. It would give a minute for Elsa and Anna to get really deep with each other but also give Elsa some time to freak out before absentmindedly shooting Anna. I think they’d need a fuller introduction to it and a stronger post song scene. I really like the craziness of “Colder By the Minute”, but perhaps you’re right on the random medium changing that brings it to being. I love all the references to “Frozen II”, like the Northuldra line from Iduna, the Samantha thing from Olaf, the four elements in “Fixer Upper”, and Anna’s updated hairstyle. One thing that I thought was odd, as an American, is that they have the characters use American accents. It seemed like an unusual extra thing to think about that doesn’t change the story at all. Is that normal?

I've seen this twice because it was so good. And you wanted to know what hygge means? Hygge is comfortable, hygge is cosy. Finding a spider in your shoe. Not hygge. Having an annoying thing to do. Not hygge. Most importantly it can't be hygge without your family and friends! tbh if you want to get the full definition, just search the song "Hygge" and listen to the lyrics. My little brother and I have both learnt all the lyrics of all the songs in Frozen the Musical, lol.

They don’t sell as many as they should, it’s a collaboration with Pollock who is an iconic paper theatre company from Covent Garden. I have one and I love it. And when it opened the water bottle was £60, I can imagine they have had to bring the prices down on that
