Frozen: The Hit Broadway Musical

Wonderful performances from all the cast, great staging and effects, they did really well at translating the movie to the stage.

I loved all the songs, the new songs fit in really well and were great fun to watch. I was very impressed with the performances of the young actors who played young Elsa and Anna. It was also good to have a mixture of close up and wide shots from different angles, which you wouldn't get if you saw it in the theatre.

As someone who loved the original movie, I thought they captured the essence really well while adding extra characterisation and moments which are fun to watch and build the story and the world.

All in all I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought they did a brilliant job.

I can't believe we are finally able to watch this beautiful show from the comfort of our own home.

I was able to see the London production a few times and truly have to say they did a fantastic job capturing the on-stage magic and translating it to the big screen.

Even though nothing compares to seeing the show in a theatre I love how they filmed the scenes and especially "Let it Go" is absolutely breathtaking. Now you are also able to see every detail and facial expression close up (which I love).

Story wise I really think the additions and little tweaks to the storyline made perfect sense for the stage adaption. It gives the characters and their development more depths and expands their background stories. The additional songs (also written by the original song writing duo (Anderson)-Lopez) fit perfectly and are as catchy as the "original" songs. "Monster" instantly became a new "on repeat" song of mine and to this days is one of my personal 11 o'clock musical theatre favourites.

Just a few words about the cast: they are PHENOMENAL!!! Every role is perfectly cast and Samantha Barks and Laura Dawkes (this was her West End debut by the way - can you believe it?) have the perfect stage chemistry and portray the roles of Elsa and Anna with such nuance and attention to detail. I don't think I have to mention they have the most beautiful voices as well ;)

I will rave on about this show and proshot for as long as I'm living. Please do yourself a favour and watch it (if you like Frozen and/or musical theatre).

Although I have long be a fan of the stage, I have been leery of live action and stage versions of animated films ever since my wife insisted I take our children to the stage version of Lion King, battled 2-hours of traffic each way to get there, and the kids' reaction was they liked the cartoon better. However, I seem to be one of the select few who had not seen the animated version of Frozen before I saw this stage adaptation, so I had no preconceptions or expectations and did have to spend my time deciding which was "better." I found this stage play perfectly enjoyable. I have been a fan of Samantha Barks for years and she, as usual, was exceptional both in her singing and acting. Laura Dawkes was a revelation; she has a great voice and is a born comedian. Craig Galavan operating the puppet snowman also provided comic relief. In fact, after watching the animated film, I actually preferred the stage play version in many ways. I am not a great fan of CGI animated people, and the humor struck me as funny when presented by live actors rather than "cute," as is generally the case with CGI animated figures. As with most musicals, there were only a few "hits", but the other songs were more than adequate to move the action forward.

We absolutely love Disney's original animated film-my daughter and I (her name is Anna too, and she was also born in 2013, just like the first Frozen movie :D ). I had high expectations for this theatrical/musical performance, but it did not disappoint. A few observations:

The visuals are stunning. The sets, the costumes, the effects-everything. Absolutely breathtaking. In this area, it far exceeded my expectations.

The cast is top-notch. Everyone, from the leads to the supporting roles. And not just vocally, but in terms of acting as well. Both Anna and Elsa were perfect choices, they portrayed their characters beautifully (and the young Anna and Elsa were adorable and very talented too). A big shoutout to the actor who brought Olaf to life-brilliant job. :)

The songs we already knew from the film were, in my opinion, beautifully arranged and performed. I can't yet fully appreciate the new songs after hearing them only once-each one was good, but for now I couldn't hum any of them yet. A few more viewings might change that. :)

There were a few changes in the storyline (not major, nothing that altered the main plot), mainly to make things work better on stage, and honestly, every change worked really well.

All in all, it's clear that a large and incredibly professional team worked on this production, and I think it's a truly worthy interpretation of the original story.

I had already bought tickets to the live performance, but since those are for October, I just couldn't resist watching the version available on Disney+ in the meantime-and after seeing it, I'm not less excited, but even more looking forward to October!

Loved it! I'll undoubtedly be adding some of the new songs to my musicals playlist.

With beautiful costumes, complex moving sets and a captivating ensemble, I was quickly won over. The puppeteering of Sven and Olaf is an awesome way to bring them to life, and the use of lighting for the magic looks super cool.

I didn't mind the little differences in the plot either, like I honestly really liked the Hidden Folk. The way they expanded on some of the characters was quite good, as well.

If you enjoy musical theatre adaptations of stories like this, you're bound to like it. Just don't expect a 1:1 remake, and you won't be disappointed.
