Episode 5: Icebreaker: Backstage at FROZEN with Jelani Alladin

[@Tillysnow1]

I love that the Anna standby is a POC! Blind casting is the best

[@ruby7226]

i love it too except for the fact that when she’s in the show her younger self is a white little girl. it just seems weird

[@ritaofthelions]

Jelani is TOO CUTE! He’s so nice and seems like a really fun person to be around. I love how it seems like Caissie Levy and Alyssa Fox only do role originated by Idina Menzel (Maureen, Elphaba, and Elsa) 😂😂 Its so cool to see Nina! I’m glad she’s on broadway again 😁

[@hayleyhjw]

That “Fiyero”!!!!! YAS

[@eljordinio7647]

Alyssa fox totally rocks!! 💚🖤🧙💙❄️

[@梁維友]

Alyssa 's high F Fiyero riff gives me goosebumps all over my body!😵😍😍😍

[@turtlemcpurtle9665]

I WAS THE SOCIALLY IMPAIRED TROLL same

[@kfstgermain]

literally me

[@LindsayKBurton]

my entire life

[@musicatheatrefan]

I was so happy with this video. These never fail to disappoint. I got really excited when I saw Alicia Albright during "Places with Oaken", because she was in a few of Lindsay Mendez's Fly Girl episodes from backstage at Wicked, and she was also in quite of few of Kara Lindsay's Think Pink episodes. Alyssa's "Fiyero" riff also gave me chills, it was so awesome. Definitely among the best I have ever heard 💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@eljordinio7647]

Hearing Alyssa belt out "Fiyero" was my favourite part here. She's amazing

[@leah6820-y9v]

2:57!!!!!!!!!! And 8:04 is astonishing.

[@nxadragon]

[@panchish]

[@phoenixflare2380]

As a huge fan of the musical Matilda the 5:10 bit makes me so happy

[@leahthai2040]

Omg I saw Alyssa fox on broadway when I went to go see wicked!! That was first broadway show and she made it so memorable!!!

[@eljordinio7647]

I saw her in frozen and she was incredible as Elsa. I didn't even know that was her til someone told me. Was lucky to meet Alyssa at stage door after the show. She was so nice 😊💙❄️👑

[@misterwatson4614]

The “Rent” riff was EVERYTHING HUNTIIESS!!!😍😍😍🤩

[@estherk5786]

Good G*d, Jelani is talented!!! Taps, can pick up choreo in seconds, can be on same pitch as Caissie ... jeebus.

[@lewiscunningham8379]

I saw the original cast of Ghost in London. I was so skeptical at first but it blew me away!

[@marisamitchell8611]

I got to see Caissie as Maureen in the RENT tour! She's awesome!

[@LindsayKBurton]

"WHO IS KNOWN AROUND THE WORLD-" "no"

[@MABACTS]

Great and informative episode! I love this series!!!

[@emilia7669]

Jelani! You should totally visit som of your colleagues at other broadway shows and talk with them in the vlogs a bit :-D

[@elizabethreader8693]

Loved this episode and so did my almost 4 year old daughter!

[@altheaabergos2385]

[@angiebolton8813]

I CAME HERE FOR CAISSIE AND I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED

[@ashleigh4636]

Ah I love that song from On the Town!!! Such a cool way to open the show

[@lilliharding5584]

If anyone was wondering, the fight dance they did at 6:54 is a Portuguese thing called capoeira

[@annar7139]

ahhh, Alyssa was in for Elsa when I saw the show last weekend! and yasss Aisha I love Waitress!!!

[@smileyization97]

I love Broadway.com vlogs so much! Could you guys please do one for Pretty Woman with either Samantha Barks or Orfeh? Also, a Moulin Rouge one with Karen Olivo or Aaron Tveit would be great!

[@jazlynreyes3105]

[@KarissaChang]

THAT FIYERO RIFF

[@miguelalvicdulalia4752]

Caissie aladin is great

[@melodydyk6170]

ALYSSA FOX!!

[@rebeccajoyner3858]

If Caissie had said "Kiss Pooky" after she sang that line, that would have been EPIC!

[@EoghanAmI]

Andrew getting in on the Capoeira

[@samoneisdancing]

In places with oaken was that alicia? Wicked’s dance captain? Aagghh this show is basically the new wicked. It’s about two women, let it go is defying gravity, monster is no good deed. Main elsa and stanby elsa both played elphaba. Hahaha.

[@caton_andrew]

Caissie played Elphaba????

[@louieedwardmaligon3110]

Yo Tim Hughes how do you grow a beard like yours? It looks lit

Why did Hans make Kristoffs Ice salty? Because he had a salty attitude!

[@whosyourfairy9665]

2nd here!!!

[@user-lu9td2qs4u]

First comment

[@andypsynfyn]

This is truly becoming SO False... like a real mission to make the show and cast seem dynamic and hip... it's bit embarrassing though

[@mikeyjamieson4715]

It's not false. Pretty much every Broadway cast has this dynamic and energy backstage.
