[@chloznn3843]

are we just ignoring the fact that patti starts in bed with a completely different costume, and changes onstage?

[@meleenal7454]

xx Chloe exactly what I was thinking!

[@TheTwilighter26]

Yeah I’d like to see how many people are hiding behind the wall to help her

[@johncameron4194]

I guess was just filmed to show what they do.

[@KeepCalmContemplateYourChoices]

@Rachel Calos It's giving Caissie a run for her money.

[@xgray2012]

I don't think so.

[@malchakamd.santiago3667]

can't imagine how bad she felt after looking at the comments saying 'middle aged mum!' and 'her acting sucks' in the original vid :((

[@devonheart1029]

HOW RUDE!!!!???

[@its-remiiii]

Oh yeah on the gma video of for the first Time in forever she was getting attacked but those people couldn't do what she does

[@queen-elsa-arendelle]

> Harshly criticises theatre actor > Couldn't even act for dritt

[@dsmproductionsofficial131]

Chen San yeah she’s no way middle aged but not looking 18 as that’s all Anna is in the first movie

[@seunosewa]

The makeup, air and dress actually aged her. She looks younger in other photos.

[@juliaholzschuher]

Now I need Hadestown character studies!

[@MariaFernanda-lq2hp]

I really like her, so talented!!!! Don't get why people hate her just because if her age, y'all have dreams

[@dsmproductionsofficial131]

Because a lot of actresses a decade younger probably have Anna as their role model and here’s an adult in a detectable wig

[@CaseyBlizzard]

@@dsmproductionsofficial131 All of the Annas wear wigs. In fact, 90 percent of the female roles on Broadway are costumed with wigs so they don't have to create intricate styles 8 shows a week and then quick change the hair mid-show into the next style. It controls the look of the character to use wigs.

[@victorg.retterath2062]

I actually drew that purple pic of Anna and Elsa 😂

[@rebeccat8501]

Went to High school with Patti :) So sweet! So sad they are both leaving in February. They will also be Ana and Elsa to me.

[@gwendolynrice4271]

Anna*

[@eljordinio7647]

I saw Patti perform in Frozen last month. She was amazing. I didn't see Caissie unfortunately but her standby Alyssa Fox was equally amazing.

[@dsmproductionsofficial131]

Rebecca S yeah but shame the part never went to a real strawberry blonde, ginger kids have her as their role model but broadway will never cast them

[@eljordinio7647]

@@dsmproductionsofficial131 y not?

[@RisaGreen]

DSM Productions (official) in professional broadway musicals actors always were wigs even if their hair matches the character

[@isabelmarie2003]

Soooo we just gonna ignore shes singing in a corset

[@botchedlobotomy21]

Corsets are actually great for singing since they give support!

[@orchidsarepretty1422]

Corsets don’t hinder her singing! Or much of your physical movement. The only thing is that you can’t really bend. Women in the working class wore corsets and were able to work just fine. Corsets never caused any problems (and mind you must people who tight laced were frowned upon). Also it gives you good back support! And standing straight helps with signing! So in short, the corset changes almost nothing. Sorry it just makes me angry when people believe corsets were these horrible things since all these horrible stories we hear are just myths

[@kenziejeager4454]

Doesn't the people who play Christine where a corset

[@kendrahosea]

I loooove heeer. My fave actress in frozen broadway. So funny, her acting is so comical, in a good way. She’s really entertaining, and of course had a beautiful voice. Dont understand y people hate her. Watch the show, and you’ll love her like i did. Love you annaaaa

[@BrendaFOBRocks]

"i am social" - can't relate lol

[@polysom6345]

She is like anna in personality for sure!

[@theeleanorshellstrop]

She and Caissie seem like lovely people!

[@findingmyway3937]

She's such a bright light in a dark world just beautiful

[@quin9513]

I just saw Frozen on Broadway today and her acting was amazing!! So was everyone else’s

[@mk.3654]

I’m so sad that this show closed, I was really excited to see it. I wanted to by a ticket after this quarantine but now I can’t do that.

[@StarryDreamer28]

I LOOVE PATTI!! always adored her!

[@chrissytiya3025]

The determination and hard work is everything when it comes to the thought of " I have to make this perfect " and that's exactly what everyone should be thinking before doing any work in their lives.

[@Debnam101]

Omg ever since I watched the Elsa one I have been begging for this one.

[@nokocchi1983]

i love her as anna!!

[@helRAEzzzer]

Literally watching this while on the train to NYC for tomorrow's matinee show. I AM SO EXCITED!!!!

[@carolineturner8915]

I’ve been waiting for this one! Yay! I love patti!

[@Romanov292]

I love this. Omgsh what she sees in the Mirror! I love it

[@hs489242]

She mentions her wig guy Tyrell, and he has done amazing with creating the wings for this show. He is such a doll, such a sweetheart. They should do one on the wig guy

[@verawilliams1208]

was i the only one asking for this one? because i remember i did.

[@shanedecamp8545]

love patti, please do some mean girls ones!!!!

[@franfrankie7]

This season is only disney musicals i think

[@jb7644]

I just saw frozen on Broadway last Saturday and I know a lot of people say that Cassie Levy got robbed of a Tony Nomination, but lets be honest here, Patti has/had more on stage time and a bigger character development as Anna compared to Elsa. She deserved that nomination. I'm impressed the amount of work she dedicated to this role!! Love forever to Patti Murin!!

[@maggiepeterson7915]

J B they are both fabulous! I saw the show and loved it so much!

[@edgarfilho6129]

Everything is wonderful.This show is speechless.About Patti Murin, she does an excellent performance and I loved her.I watched the play last week and I was astonished.Congratulations.

[@eljordinio7647]

It's a musical

[@devonheart1029]

WE LOVE YOU PATTI MURIN!!!! Just heard that you are pregnant, congratulations!! I know you are going to be a great mom, Caissie Levy can always help you about job and family!!!! 💛💛💛💚💚💚💚💚

[@glaucopis303]

She seems to be not only super talented, but also the cute and kind type of person anyone would love to be near to!

[@srirachmaputrijuwitaputri8256]

putti murin very nice and beautiful princess anna

[@gwenoliver8094]

Omg I saw her live she is so talented! I loved this video. Pls do Caissie Levy next!

Yeah they already did her! Here’s the link to that! kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2jVc3-vgqmbb9U

[@landontheatre4398]

I FREAKING LOVE YOU PATTI!!

[@CoNnOr17rEd]

odd because that's not the costume or wig she starts with..haha

[@meleenal7454]

Connor Twigg exactly what I thought!

[@ZoraTheberge]

It’s the wig. If I’m correct, the “bedhead” is a topper and not a full piece.

[@meleenal7454]

Zach T ohhhh. What about the nightgown?

[@monroegeorge3139]

She starts in this at the end of 'Do You Wanna Build A Snowman', and then that goes in to Correnation Day/First Time In Forever with the main skirt part of the costume off (just the bodice/undergarments on underneath a nightgown) and wig covered with 'bed hair', before redressing on stage.

[@meleenal7454]

Monroe George oh!! Thanks so much for the explanation! I always wondered ❤️

[@bellalstine]

QUEEN

[@maggiepeterson7915]

I saw her on broadway she is so amazing! Super talented! ❤️❤️

[@nataliehuixdd]

2:02 is that kurt...?

[@racheid77]

this is the second one i have seen where the actor does their own makeup... is this common on broadway?

[@maura_the_rose]

I think it depends. Usually someone else does their hair, but basic makeup is usually done by the actor. If it's more complex and requires a lot of attention to detail, then perhaps a makeup artist comes in.

[@jillcullen9155]

Yes but it depends on the character

[@tyrakristiansen7188]

Most actors does their own makeup, but some characters require help like Elphaba for example

[@brendaburt2203]

Mean girls next please!!

[@maysaaalikhan962]
