[@bethmackiewicz8894]

[@sophiedippel7883]

Jelani crying because of the cast recording was just a beautiful moment 💙 congratulations to the cast on the album!

[@Mina_rose17]

2nd Time around "I sound so terrible" ..awkward pause "Yeah" lol! I need to see more of the cast and *ensemble!*

[@lexmiester07]

[@samuelbrown112]

I really hope this gets extended it’s such a great blog. And everyone is so happy and nice.

[@bridiemolloy8643]

Yes!!

[@bethmackiewicz8894]

I thought I wouldn't like Frozen on Broadway but these vlogs have proved me wrong

[@mathilde-nt2ww]

"ok guys for the first time in forever -ha ha ha"

[@julialealos1285]

Jelani is literally the purest person

[@rebeccajoyner3858]

Aww! Jelani! That was so sweet! You made it Man, you are on a cast album! All of you did fantastic on this album and it is by far the best cast album EVER! By the way, Red is Definitely your Color!

[@evitafuentes2718]

I never saw frozen Broadway but I have a theater group I go to and we did our own frozen production. I was Anna and was totally psyched! At first when I heard Patti Murin she made me self councious because she could sing things I couldnt, but now she's my idol and to know how she lives and what's it's like to be Anna is just a dream come true.

[@ellah917]

IM GOING TO MARRY JELANI THERE IS NOTHING THAT WILL STOP ME I JUST LOVE HIM SO MUCH HES SUCH A SWEET BOY

[@phoenixflare2380]

It’s awesome seeing that Jelani is so invested in the show and so enthusiastic about the behind the scenes stuff, the role of Kristoff is in good hands xD

[@ashleykruse2278]

Patti is so freaking adorable

[@rjpopio735]

Love you Jelani!

[@stephpiano2908]

Wow I'm actually in tears I love them so much (Also him crying at the OBCR has me so emotional oh my god)

[@Chebowlier]

That young anna at 3:51 so fierce!

[@aceofgracex]

I listened to the cast recording yesterday and I haven't stopped listening to it since. I just absolutely adore it.

[@abigailford9032]

Jelani is so pure oh my goodness❤️

[@madeline8207]

Jelani, the cast album is stunning! ❄️

[@MaryMack.]

I gasped when I saw Colin Donnell lol. I had no clue he was married to Patti!

[@rebeccajoyner3858]

Indilwen11 if you follow her on Twitter, you would know! Talks about him all the time! Lol

[@MaryMack.]

I don't follow many people on Twitter, but maybe I'll follow her soon!

[@kristinalenkowsky]

Could you focus an episode on the young Anna’s and elsas

[@bethanylaurell8081]

Oh, and I absolutely adore the cast recording! I never thought I'd love another song as much as I love Let It Go, but Monster comes awfully close. The whole cast did an amazing job!

[@samanthacaballero8131]

HE IS SO FREAKING CUTE OMG

[@ptvsophie]

Valérian VERONICA

[@maryannkoretoff1023]

I lost my mind as the first measures of the soundtrack came on. EVERYONE WHO MADE THAT POSSIBLE ARE GENIUSES

[@steffihenkel6210]

Honestly I like this cast more than the cast of the movie. I haven't seen the show but only by listening through the soundtrack I could picture what the show must be like and I think this is what really matters, being able to imagine what it might be like only through this awesome music. Don't get me wrong, I like the cast of the movie, but this cast delivers the struggle and development of the characters even better throughout the songs. Does anyone agree? :D Love these Vlogs one of the best I've seen 👍

[@pandamonika]

I don't think that's up to the cast, though, the movie didn't have much character depth or logic because the writers had no idea what their story was supposed to be, and they rushed it in the end.

[@Isafixi_]

Im late but when it comes to the movie there was a bunch of songs and scenes that would explain a lot more for the character development and make the story more logical that ended up being cut. Not sure why but that’s why parts like of the movie seems rushed or doesn’t make sense. This is not the casts faults tho

[@torisayre7536]

Omg I was in Bring It On a year ago and it’s nice to see others who know it 💜 the music is great ily

[@samoneisdancing]

Obsessed with the cast album! Woot! 🙌🙌

[@alexgregersen1516]

That makes two of us!

[@natalie6975]

young Anna seems like the kind of person I’d be best friends with

[@Lily-sp9xc]

[@bringbackthenewnormal5818]

[@biancaprimo4168]

[@kellyreynolds1956]

hey im in love with jelani bye

[@patricemarie8394]

His skin is like a chocolate kiss 💋

[@tntwinmill]

We saw the show on Sat night and we took our daughter for her first broadway experience. She's 5 1/2 and dressed in her elsa dress and sparkly shoes with snowflakes on her hair and I did an Elsa braid. She loved it. We loved it. We went to the stage door and she was so disappointed that not a single one of the lead role actors came out to greet people. I get the whole Ben Platt self care stage door thing, but it'd be nice if some coordination between the cast could have happened: No Elsa? No problem! We got to meet Anna or Kristoff!

[@saraabigail2958]

*Me seeing Collin at **4:06** after starting the show:* Dr. Rhodes, is that you?

[@Artemitenx]

"-What is it like to be you? -Boring" 4:36 Patti's stare: the fuck did you just say, you sleep on the couch tonight

[@erikaavw]

[@lbiwriter]

💖💖💖

[@emilyiatrou5409]

If you could play any character on Broadway, who would it be and why?

[@KHobbies_cina]

Colin Donnell!!!!

[@rainyday6512]

Where is episode 3?

[@colemansimmons4604]

2020 coronavirus anyone

[@springdayisnottoday371]

I bet kristoff and sven exercise too

[@huntervanderford5497]

So I listened to the cast album/soundtrack and I still can’t exactly pin which song it is that plays at the beginning and end of these vlogs. Help?

[@victorg.retterath2062]

its what do you know about love. the instrumental part from when they lower the ice bridge!

[@xtyna100]

Hunter Vanderford you could say it's instrumental of reindeers are better than people, but it's the instrumental that they play at the show when it ends, while they are bowing, while "snow" falls over the audience

[@victorg.retterath2062]

Xty100 your actually wrong. Last I checked the music for the bowing was a mix of parts from love is an open door and for the first time in forever and some other assorted songs. What hunter is asking about is literally from what do you know about love, when the bridge is lowered 👍🏼

[@xtyna100]

Victor G. Retterath :( now i need to see it a 5th time!

[@xtyna100]

Victor G. Retterath though I mean when you are leaving the theater and so, still I wouldn’t mind seeing it a 5th time

[@hannahlund2190]

Show Donald Jones Jr.! :)

[@delaneygray6131]

Dr. Rhodes

[@emilyiatrou5409]

If you were an animal, which one would you be and why?

[@amandaarbogast]

UR THE CUTEST

[@mj6304]

[@mj6304]

Why is Greg so grumpy? :(

[@boredstranger7522]

I thought it's part of the comedic element?

[@lovejess1316]

TOMMY!
