Frozen the Musical (Broadway)

See it if You don’t like a well staged and entertains show. Liking the movie will help but not necessary. Well exceeded my low expectations.

Don't see it if You don’t like Disney or Frozen. Some of the newer songs were unmemorable.

Also I should mention that I have not seen the film. I should also note the massive praise that absorbed before venturing to see Frozen, I expected too much. The special effects were very good Patti Murin was in great form. I loved the reindeer.. The numerous kids in the audience were spectacular with their attention spans but.....but.... but..but but.... for me, something was missing. I had the feeling of "oneness". Maybe on another day I would have a better reaction.. The score is my 80% and partner's 85%.
I was not too happy with my seats (maybe a major factor too )... Read more Read less

See it if you're a fan of the film, you've heard music from the show & liked it, you're curious about how the show would be staged. like Disney shows

Don't see it if you're not a fan of Disney shows, don't like shows that are too sleek & mechanical, didn't like the film, all this sappiness is too much

Also There are, however, some isolated moments of ingenuity in the show, such as Patty Murin's early scenes, how the puppets seem real (Sven surreptitiously kicking around the snowman's midsection is amusing) and replacing those elf rocks with a shirtless Inuit tribe works much better, including the guy who reminds us of Jason Momoa, plus a few of the dances are creative, although the icing effects are created predominantly through projections & some of the characters are slightly different from the film (Weselton is not a villain) and there are no back from the dead characters at the end.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see a show for children but that is also charming and fun and refreshing for adults as well.

Don't see it if you're looking for something a little more meaty that leaves you thinking.

See it if Successful herculean task of transfer of film to stage.Female-empowerment-driven Disney triumph w/ bombast.Reindeer a scene-stealer.Chilling

Don't see it if A Disney blockbuster doesn't make it bad. Let it go.

See it if You want to check another Disney musical off your list, even if this is their weakest yet (by far).

Don't see it if You’ll be bothered by children chatting away and kicking your seat throughout the show. Just stay away if you can’t handle that.

See it if Great effects. Nice story between about two sisters. Show is great that adults could enjoy it as much as kids can.

Don't see it if You have to like musicals. And you know there's going to be some kids in the audience

Also One thing I have to say I thought I would have alot of kids near me. But no behind me I had three young adults that talked so much. The kids were better behaved. Greatshow for the whole family.... Read more Read less

See it if you liked the movie and enjoy beautiful and exciting staging .Lovely story and good singing. Be sure to bring the kids!

Don't see it if you didn't like the movie, don't like Disney shows or you prefer sophisticated musicals.

Also Better to sit upstairs to get full effect of the staging and lighting which is wonderful. This story has a lovely message for children.... Read more Read less

See it if You love great songs, beautiful sets (where the "ice" comes all over the stage) and an easy-to-follow story-line.

Don't see it if You hate the song "Let it Go"; you're not interested in a woman who turns everything to ice (if she gets mad) due to her magical powers..

See it if A musical for loyal Disney fans. You love twisted fairytale style shows. You saw the movie and want to compare.

Don't see it if You are looking for a story that follows a traditional style. This seems to be a show somewhere between one that appeals to kids and adults.

See it if You like Disney shows and thinking like a child. Princess Anna makes it fun as do the reindeer and the snowman. I did not see the movie.

Don't see it if You dislike Disney shows with stuffed animated characters. You do not like sitting around many children crunching on candy.

Also Aladdin and Lion King are much more polished and entertaining.

See it if You have a little kid wh is not discerning and loved the movie.

Don't see it if You don't have a little kid that you have to take.

See it if you are looking for something light and fun. It's about what you expect, but it is very well done. Loads of talent on display.

Don't see it if you don't like lightweight musicals. Fun for families or teens. I'm an old lady, and I liked it. Worth seeing.

See it if You are a fan of the movie and/or the music and enjoy lightharted touching musicals.

Don't see it if You expect the play to be just like the movie, are not a fan of Frozen or if you prefer more substantial material.

See it if Perfect for families and fans of the movie but don't go in expecting Disney magic on the level of The Lion King or Aladdin.

Don't see it if you're looking for something less commercial or Disney-fied.

See it if you loved the movie. Caissie Levy's voice is phenomenal! Patty Murren's cute. Lots of Disney magic & fun. Young princesses are standouts.

Don't see it if you don't like Disney. This is the epitome of a Disney musical

Also I think this is one of Disney's best shows. Great positive story. Great voices. The anachronistic choreography bugged me but it did get a good laugh. I loved the new songs Absolutely loved John Riddle (Hans)! So nice to hear Caissie sing "Let It Go" so beautifully. Much better vocal technique and it worked really well for the character. Costuming was great (but wondering why Elsa is suddenly wearing contemporary jeans in act 2! - not a fan). Lighting and special effects serve the script well. The two leads are both a little old for their roles, but it's stage, and they were both great. I would see it again, and I'm not a Disneyphile. Finally, I wish they made an announcement to not sing along with the show. A woman and little girl in front of me sang every song they knew. I was so thankful for the new music!... Read more Read less

See it if If you have a child in tow, it will enhance the experience. The effects are Disney at his best, and everyone is giving it their all.

Don't see it if This is a piece for children, and there is little for an adult here, unlike Anastasia, which can be appreciated on several levels.

See it if Delivers the Frozen key moments. Part 2's a few shades darker for Elsa than the movie, like Jean Grey torn and holding in her Phoenix powers

Don't see it if You're immune to Disney / Frozen magic. ~80% of the movie makes it. Can't stand hearing kids in the audience screaming in excitement.

Also Ticket from an online lottery for $30 after 3 months of trying.

See it if Love big splashy musicals with lots of silliness yet a message

Don't see it if Skip this if you don't want to be bombarded with lots of kids and people who've never been to Broadway before.

See it if you are a fan of the movie done faithfully with that Disney magic and trademark of a less than exciting movie animated feature.

Don't see it if you're tired of Disney movie to stage productions of a show that doesn't work as well on stage as other Disney productions with 1 great song

See it if You love the movie Frozen or you have a kid who does.

Don't see it if You're looking for an amazing Broadway show.

Also I haven't actually seen the movie, but I could still tell that it was better. So much of it just didn't really translate to the stage. Disney's answer to that problem was to just spend more money, which sort of makes it possible, but it still wasn't ideal. A good example is the bridge scene, but I won't spoil it for you. I did love the Hygge song, though, which I believe was not part of the movie.... Read more Read less

See it if You are taking a child who loves Frozen.

Don't see it if you want to see a better musical.

See it if You win the ticket lottery or are a huge fan of the movie

Don't see it if You resent the Disneyfication of Broadway or are looking for truly visionary stagecraft

Also It was fine. The first act was ok, and Anna (young and old) was delightful. The second act drug on forever.... Read more Read less

See it if You enjoy the magic of Disney and it’s fun staging. This was done well but does not have quite the extravagance of The Lion King.

Don't see it if Are not a Disney fan, did not enjoy the movie, or expect the artistry of Lion King or Aladdin.

See it if you're really into the source material (or have compatriots who are) and have a high threshold for bad audiences. You love light design.

Don't see it if Well, the film isn't very good, so it's no surprise the musical isn't either. The songs are ok to good, but the motivations are a mess.

Also Full disclosure, I was never enamoured with the film, but I did think that "Frozen Heart" was the best Disney song since Aladdin... and of course it's cut from the play. The motivations make no sense, the characters are ridiculous, and the plot is fairy tale convenient at BEST.

Why they felt like putting a nudist kickline in a kid's musical, I have no idea, but it was one of the most entertaining parts of the musical (along with the Jewish mother take on "Fixer-Upper").

I think it's telling that despite all the incredibly intricate lighting effects during "Let It Go" the moment that drew all the applause was a quick-change dress. There's a less here. In-person theater trumps flashy effects. This musical is far too heavy on the latter.

Speaking of which. Sven the Reindeer? Breathtaking and scene-stealing. Olaf? WTF.... Read more Read less
