Elsa the linebacker XD The ripcord itself doesn't look super awful to me, when it works. It's like she whips her hand across and transforms her outfit instead of just poof. The cloak flying away like in the movie was a nice feature.

[@annikaericksen3938]

I got to perform with a local group as Elsa and we did a variation of that. instead of a ripcord there was Velcro. it only took about half a second so the lights could drop and come on with the music and nobody saw what happened.

Super honoured I got to experience the top tear Elsa quick change almost every night. When this whole covid stuff is over go see one of the many productions that are coming! US Tour, West End, Japan, Australia, or Germany! Every production that comes out gets a little more magical.

Never expected to hear "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" in the background of a discussion about Cats, but here we are.

[@jamiehorne1173]

When they first did cats. The author wanted cat like humans and that's what the people who did Broadway and that's what the movie did. But of course a bunch of dead base has an issue like they have issues every single movie is seriously why are you even bother watching these movies if you're not going to like it or complainant better or demand that they are change which is really ridiculous and you're entitled if you say anything about it. Even the Marvels and DC Comics are kind of getting slammed up fans demand that certain characters and actors play these characters like Captain Marvel there are like several different characters that took on that title. You have to look at the title as a torch that gets passed individual Carol Danvers is a white woman Marvel is actually a white man Monica Ram it's a black woman who also said the title and it goes on and on but Captain Marvel is actually a title not a character not a person is a title. Superman is a person Batman it's a person Ant Man it's also a title that two people uphold. The Flash is a title that two people uphold. Captain America three people at hold. Black Canary was created from a white woman so if they're going to have an issue of it. May as well change the actress who plays Black Canary in birds of prey. Nicholas fury is a white man but a black actor plays him. Dream a white woman but a transgender woman play her. she isn't transgender if you actually dig into her character. Monica rambeau got more famous for being Spectra than she ever did as Captain Marvel.

[@MadBunny1010]

I feel so bad for the live performers when their rip cord doesn't work correctly. Cause you can see in her face she's like "OH COME ON."

[@matthewcondon1985]

Yah, that Broadway transformation is perfect. No spinning, no pulling strings. She just naturally holds her arms back and woosh... it happens. Love the fact that she’s not doing it and that it just “happens”. And that it happens so quickly.

[@sailorcat]

8:29 I actually think it's super beautiful! The dress "flows" down her body which looks to me much better than just "snap, different dress". It's also more like in the movie. And about the dress with the big shoulders: Yeah, it doesn't look good, but I think when you're in theatre, you don't recognize it, cause you're not that close. Oh man, poor Elsa whose dress failed to go off...

gluten free bleach I think what Maggie Graepel means is that, whilst the show is cancelled on Broadway, the other productions of the show (i.e. West End, US Tour, Australia etc. which are the same standard as Broadway) are set to continue as soon as it is safe to do so, meaning that the original commenter may still be able to see the show.

[@NicholasLionRider]

"They knew what they had even before it came out was magic" didn't they think it was going to be a flop? They had so little faith in the product going in they treated all marketing before the film's release as more of a joke. Elsa and Anna in Disney Infinity are evidence of this. They saw so little interest they chose Lone Ranger over Frozen. Many Disney reps even came out afterward saying the Frozen phenomenon was not expected and it came as a surprise it caught on like wildfire in the public eye.

[@DistoryDan]

The parks were prepped. They had Frozen events in park before the movie even opened. Disney Infinity is a whole other story. I’m actually working on a video about that now.

[@imaginefun13]

@@DistoryDan Looking soooo forward to it! Disney Infinity was a huge part of my life. Collected all the figures and playsets pretty much as soon as they came out. Just about bawled my eyes out when they announced that it was discontinued, especially with all the awesome concepts that had been floating around 😭

[@MichaelSar12IsBack]

"Frozen" was made to cash-in on the success of "Tangled". They expected it to make the same amount of money. And, well, the rest is history.

[@KeepCalmContemplateYourChoices]

I guess they used the parks as the marketing device instead of the commercials. Disney gets%41 of its revenue from the parks, and 60 million people go each year.

[@matthewmitsuosugimoto9185]

@@DistoryDan Disney definitely thought that Frozen was going to Flop. They even told Disney Stores not to order as much merchandise for it because they didn't think the sales were gonna be there. This is why that Christmas time after the movies came out, it was near impossible to find any of the dolls or costumes. The only reason why Frozen was in the parks before the movie came out is because they were trying to advertise the movie, The World of Color Winter Dreams was literally one big ad for Frozen. I partially blame Disney marketing team since their tv ads centered on olaf and sven which is why it seemed like the movie was going to flop since a lot of people didn't realize it was a Disney princess movie.

The Hyperion was always my least favourite version of the dress transformation. It just feels so 'unmagical'. Like, you could see what Elsa was doing. It doesn't feel seemless.

7:40 rip this Foul thing off me

[@yagirl1014]

Watching this made me cry. I played Elsa in the musical version and it seriously saved my life. I’ve always loved Elsa and related to her a lot and I was in a really dark time before being cast as her. Being cast as her was seriously a dream come true. Me and the girl who played my Anna are best friends now too! I would get very emotional during the finale where I would look at her and sing “The magic one is you” because that’s seriously how I feel about that girl! She is my hero and got me through the worst time of my life. When we performed at JTF we even won an acting award because you could truly tell how much that cast loved each other and were so much like their roles! I’ve also met Caissie Levy, Ryan Mccartan, McKenzie Kurtz, Audrey Bennet, and Patti Murin who are from the Broadway production! I can tell you there is truly no experience more magical than singing Let It Go on stage! I would tear up a little every time i sang the first “Let it go” and the first little snowflake came out. It was just like a full circle moment from when Frozen first came out when I was in 5th grade and I had never seen myself in a princess like character before and finally I saw myself in Elsa. She made me realize that my pain and emotions aren’t wrong and I’m not broken because of them, they are my power. I cried the first time I saw her sing Let It Go and still do every time since. I used to sing Let It Go every day when I was younger and I definitely was NOT a singer than so it was cool to see that if I put my mind to it I could accomplish anything. Also when I went and saw Frozen 2 it was during our rehearsals and it just made me realize like WOW. I’ve actually gone here and I’ve done this and I’m literally living my dream. I don’t think it really hit me until seeing Elsa sing Show Yourself how far I’ve truly come. I miss playing Elsa so much and it was the biggest dream come true. I even bleached my hair I love her so much. I miss her a lot but I like to think I carry her with me every step of the way❄️💕

Personally, my favorite costume, is the one at the Hyperion! I know that the actresses can’t get it to transform at times, but that’s what makes it so different. I personally wished that they don’t do a blackout on her, because people want to see it happen. And it’s a stage show, so there is always a way something happens, and if they saw her pull the string, and it just suddenly release, people are at awe, and leave wondering how they did it! definitely a magical moment!

I've seen Mickey and the Magician and it was truly spectacular in person! I remember "Let it go" as the highlight! It also did a great job on including both english (for foreigners) and french (for kids) since the magician talked english and Mickey talked french but often repeated what the magician had said (like the magician said in english something like "can you clean my attic?" And Mickey responded in french "you want me to clean your attic?") and Mickey was also very clear in bodylanguage so non french speakers could understand what he meant when he wasn't repeating the magician. It was a great show!

[@cjconcep]

I was a set designer for a production of Frozen Jr. and our Elsa's coronation dress was basically held up by magnets. We had dancers representing snow so they created a ring around her that hid two other snow dancers that would tear off the dress from the bottom. It happens in a split second and honestly it was pretty cool to see her cause the snow dancers would break open as she stepped forward revealing her other dress. She still had the awkward shoulder fitting on her coronation dress cause she had her cape stuffed up there, but for a small community theater it was a great reveal.

[@relke6027]

Haha! I’ve been to the Disneyland show multiple times and I can say that I keep a track record in my head of how good the transformation was with each visit because yeah, it’s rare for it to be perfect. It being as bad as the “bad one” in this video is VERY unusual though. Usually a bit of the skirt gets caught and she has to jiggle it out a little. But when it works right (which it did the first time I saw it) it is PERFECT and AMAZING!! Plus, you’re super~ far from the stage at the Hyperion so I have NEVER noticed “linebacker Elsa” until this video. Basically, these videos are bootlegged recordings that have been zoomed in so you’re seeing it as if you’re right next to her, which is not how it is when you watch the show. I will say that since I loved the Hyperion transformation so much I was PSYCHED for the Broadway version. I thought it’d be even better so I looked it up and I HATED it! LOL It was probably a case of “they changed it, now it sucks.” But that plain stage with nothing on it except screens, screens, screens is so boring and lazy. If I wanted screens I’d watch the movie. The staircase! My gosh, the staircase MAKES Let It Go every time at the Hyperion. It’s gorgeous. I’d take “linebacker Elsa” and the occasional quick change flub any day if that’s what it takes to get the staircase!

While I absolutely hate the Hyperion coronation dress, the actual ice dress is gorgeous.

Right? The fabric flows so beautifully.

The evolution is crazy they've gotten better year by year. That's what I'd like to call ' Fantasy ' ❄ The real magic always happens behind the stage

Seeing the Elsa transformation at the Denver first run of the show had me floored. I've never seen anything like it. It was smooth, perfect and just as magical as what the video shows. The projection mapping with the stage and the ice was all done phenomenally!

[@himynameishelen]

The Elsa on Broadway one literally gave me chills! An amazing piece of stagecraft

[@e.sch.06]

with the hyperion, just imagine her forgetting to take the glove off

[@livvylisvlog8106]

When Elsa pulls the rip court out, and it fails, it Take a longer time so it looks like the movie because in the movie, she SLOWLY changes the clothing.
