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 😁

[@梁維友]

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

[@turtlemcpurtle9665]

[@LindsayKBurton]

[@hayleyhjw]

That “Fiyero”!!!!! YAS

[@eljordinio7647]

Alyssa fox totally rocks!! 💚🖤🧙💙❄️

[@eljordinio7647]

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

[@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 💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@poppyameiIa]

[@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 😊💙❄️👑

[@phoenixflare2380]

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

[@leah6820-y9v]

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

[@lewiscunningham8379]

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

[@estherk5786]

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

[@marisamitchell8611]

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

[@LindsayKBurton]

[@ashleigh4636]

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

[@emilia7669]

[@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!

[@adamG2001]

[@lilliharding5584]

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

[@natalies1624]

mg i saw alyssa fox perform!

[@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.

[@dougy_dawg]

Caissie played Elphaba????

[@connorbenson4612]

My friend was on Billy Elliot!!!!!!!

[@kasonpippin6310]

DID YOU GUYS GET MY MAIL?!!

[@rebeccajoyner3858]

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

[@charlotteconnelly6623]

Aisha is so damn cute 10/10

[@MaryMack.]

0:28 the antlers behind his head tho

[@redelizabethjolley2955]

[@likefire_likeice9579]

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.
