Let me tell you, I've been looking forward to the sequel for one reason alone and Iwonder about behind the scenes marketing sometimes...Santino wa

Now that Austin Colby has been confirmed as Hans, I would like to say two things.
First of all, I will admit my comment here was bitter and mean spirited. I didn’t intend to insult anyone, but I can see why people found it annoying.

I see a lot of comedic potential here. The commercialised tendencies of Broadway are always easy targets. Poking fun at Tootsie seems like an especially good idea, particularly if they find something interesting to say about the problematic aspects of the production and it’s premise. I also hope they take advantage of Fontana’s Frozen infamy and include that in the parody...
The likes of Frozen, The Cher Show and Beetlejuice will also lend themselves to plenty of laughs. However, some a

They are creating new wigs for Anna and Elsa to more closely match their looks in the upcoming sequel. They just began on a new wig plot for the show and it will apparently roll out as Frozen 2 premieres. I'm not sure it makes total sense...since the new hairstyles aren't the characters looks in the first film, which is of course the story of the stage musical lol. But
RNL said: "The difference between Frozen and the other current Disney musicals is that Frozen has just 1 big song that everyone knows, while Aladdin and Lion King each have at least a few. I know and love the music from Aladdin and Lion King, and I want to see those numbers brought to life on stage. Can't say the same for Frozen."
I disagree with the claim that “Let It Go” is the only great song in Frozen (“Do You Want To Build A Snowman”
Stunt Casting Aug 20

I assume you are referring to the casting of YouTube Vlogger Joe Sugg in the West End version. I don’t care too much about this, as he’s a comic relief side character. He seems charismatic enough though...
In London, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie (currently the only West End hit NOT to make it to Broadway!) uses a lot of stunt casting for the supporting roles of Miss Hedge (the antagonistic headteacher) and Hugo (Jamie’s drag queen mentor). It gets plenty of people to see the musical
With the D23 Expo occuring at the end of the week, we can expect some major news on Frozen 2 as the publicity campaign really kicks off. I wonder how it will affect Frozen on Broadway. It has been reasonably successful, but is currently the lowest-earning of Disney’s three megamusicals by some distance, so its long-term prospects are quite precarious. Will Frozen 2 lead to increased earnings for Frozen Broadway in the same way that the live-action Aladdin boosted the Broadway

I get that. I have no ill will against him at all - I just think that the Prince Hans subplot is the worst part of Frozen by some distance (Love Is An Open Door is a great song though!)...
Given everything Disney On Broadway learned from The Little Mermaid and Tarzan, I think Frozen would have already closed if there were serious financial concerns. I agree it’s more of a tourist or first Broadway show experience than Aladdin and The Lion King. It also definitely targets a younger crowd than the other 2 even if that wasn’t the intention. At this point, I can’t see this closing before January. I do think Disney might be li

Yes, there is a vague resemblance, but de Waal is vanilla. She has none of Diana's charisma. Erin Davie was excellent. I actually thought the Camilla character was more interesting. I'd like to see a musical about her (i.e. like Evita).
The music is generic and doesn't help. I didn't believe that a

Based on this this summer’s grosses, it seems Disney has successfully turned Frozen into a tourist hit, but the question remains what happens when the number of tourists drop come Fall. The fact that the show has been running several week of/limited time promotions is a bit of concern, but also points to a problem Frozen

Try-out reviews aren’t everything, so some editing will be needed. The most interesting thing about this is the fact Diana will be in direct competition with Six, another musical exploiting America’s love for female British monarchs. Both are pretty risky, but Six’s fanbase could make it more successful...
As for Tootsie... to quote a line from one of the songs... “Ya really f***ed it up...”
It’s interesting that two musicals with somewhat uncertain long-term prospects (Frozen and Beetlejuice) could survive the autumn doldrums pretty well, because Beetlejuice will benefit from Halloween themed marketing, whilst the growing hype for Frozen 2 could help the Broadway version gain an Aladdin-style bounce...

The only thing this project really has going for it is the fact a female director is currently attached, and I’m not sure she will see it through to opening night. Otherwise, there is a sense of scraping the barrel with this production...

Honestly it's luckydar it's lasted this long and has probably benefited more from an April opening than any show in recent memory, according itself to Tony leadup hype. It really didn't know who it was marketing to, it had the same hype around its
Ya, but more shows are closing in a couple of weeks which means less options for tourists. Not that they seem to be seeing the closing shows either but you see the point. Rebranding would be really smart for the fall to see if they can get more of an advance. Is there anyone who would be consider a "stunt cast"? The role of Michael Dorothy did win a tony so I don't think its too out of the realm of possibility."

Disney have not created an official copy for the Frozen script, and I think it would INCREDIBLY hard to find with their tight control over it (You may be able to find a pirate pdf when Frozen is opened for licensing, but that won't happen for a while yet). However, MTI's page for Frozen Jr, includes a free copy of the Frozen Jr. Script, which is essentially a condensed version of the Broadway adaptation. I hope that helps...
