I went with my husband and my dad to see FROZEN The Broadway-Bound Musical today, 9-23-17, in Denver.
My brother Billy and his wife Amy saw it last week and I asked Amy if my dad would like it and she said he would, so I got us some last minute tickets. The show was almost sold out completely.
Also, after seeing Disney On Ice Frozen fifteen times siince my son Joel is in that show, I wanted to see the musical play while it was still in Colorado. This version of FROZEN was different than the ice show and the movie since there were new scenes and music.
Olaf was a puppet!
There were human like jungle creatures with tails instead of trolls.
The ice show doesn't include Elsa and Ana's parents, but this version does and this version explains the reason Elsa has powers in the first place is her mother, the queen, was once one of those jungle like creatures.
In the second act, there was this really weird scene at the mountain store where the chorus sang about drinking alcohol and being inside a sauna and they were wearing towels as they sang and danced, but then later, they looked like they were naked and danced with tree branches!!!
The Summer scene had only props and only Ana and Christof and Olaf (and his puppeteer) were in that scene. In the ice show, there is a kickline of seagulls and flowers that I missed seeing in this Broadway bound version.
The costume changes were done in a really cool manner. When Elsa changed into the beautiful blue dress in "Let It Go," the costume change was so quick and amazing and almost magical!
There were no wolves in the forest when Ana and Christof first met and Sven reindeer was much smaller than the Sven in the ice show and there was only a sled in the beginning of the musical as opposed to the sled being there until it is destroyed by the wolves in the ice show version.
I wish my son Joel had seen this show when he was on his break. I know, after doing over 1300 Disney On Ice Frozen shows he would have enjoyed seeing this very, very good live musical version!
