I was in the actual frozen performance today and there was so many (including this little girl) who shouted that while they were performing 😂

I do it everytime it comes on in the car (my two boys LOVE Frozen!). I'm not sure I could resist it if we go to see it...

I like Olaf’s frozen II reference “Samantha” plus Samantha Barks is Elsa, lol.

Oliver and Steph look so similar to their animated characters

Disney have nailed their casting for frozen! Ollie is so good👍🏼would have liked to have seen the dance break in this performance though.

[@glitterbaby00]

Awww love Oliver Ormson and Steph McKeon too, such a fantastic performance. I wonder why they weren’t in costume?

[@marthawilkinson3238]

They've said that they weren't wearing costumes bc it's just meant to be a little taster of the show rather than an actual performance, which is also why there wasn't the dance break (obviously olaf has to be in costume otherwise its not him singing😂)

[@glitterbaby00]

@@marthawilkinson3238 that’s a good point! Nothing beats the spectacle of the Frozen staging anyway 🤩🤩

[@jessbrannon_actor]

@@marthawilkinson3238 he does sing

[@marthawilkinson3238]

@@jessbrannon_actor sorry yeah that was so unclear from me. I meant: if the actor playing Olaf wasn't in costume, it would just be 'some guy' singing the songs, rather than the character of Olaf. The actors still look a little like the characters when they're out of costume but Olaf wouldn't at all... if that makes anymore sense (idk if it does lol)

Such amazing cast! Craig, Oliver and Steph are brilliant🤩

[@aristired6252]

Damn Disney’s really pulling out all the stops with the casting. The West End cast is just absolutely phenomenal!! It’s difficult to find perfect fits for such beloved characters, especially with them all being voiced by some pretty iconic actors. They all look, sing and act the part perfectly! I only wish I was in the west end to see it live!

[@romycaverly4087]

somehow it hadnt occurred to me they would be doing American accents lol but I love it

You know thats a lot of us unemployed sound engineers around, maybe if you send us the stems we can make these sound good..... for once.

[@madiface]

Everything seems to be going out in mono with some sort of time delay that makes it phase too. Not sure the circumstances around it. I’d imagine they print the audio live to EVS which is what goes on KZbin, so there’s no post production at all. Just a sound feed of sorts going into the video recorder.

Kind of surprised they're making them use American accents. They all sound really great, but it seems unnecessary for this show. I love to hear actors' natural accents!

[@Jonasj92]

Is it really that surprising when they act as the original characters 😅

[@biologynerd3]

@@Jonasj92 Well sure, but the only reason the original characters have American accents is because those actors are American. Frozen's not set in a place where they need to have American accents. Like how les mis and phantom are even set in Europe but in America they're played with american accents because the actors are american. I think it would be nice to have Frozen with the actors' natural accents. Of course they do it beautifully either way.

[@ikathiggs13]

@@biologynerd3 I'm pretty sure lots of the time the actors in Phantom in America use English accents.

[@biologynerd3]

@@ikathiggs13 I've seen it both on tour and on broadway in the US and they've always used american accents! Or at least "singer-neutral" accents, they definitely haven't affected a British accent when I've seen it.

[@Hannah-lr1uc]

I hateee it when West End shows have British accents because I get used to the Broadway cast recording so much that it just sounds so wrong. I'm so glad they're doing American accents bc otherwise it ruins the magic of it.

[@alaynakrastins9812]

@@rubieleybourne5628 only seeing his now, but another reason they couldn’t have a child is because they would have to have multiple children due to the rules with kids in the west end. And the show already has like 6 kids already (young Anna and Elsa) it would to much haste, I love the idea of the puppet it’s clever :)
