Frozen (NY)

Amazing! My friend and I were so excited the show!!

This musical has developed into a must-see. And there is no way you can leave that theatre forgetting HYGGE! Outstanding!

This show was unbelievably good! My wife and I had a fantastic time. We had front row mezzanine seats near the center of the stage and they were AWESOME! The cast was very talented and could sing and dance wonderfully. My wife enjoyed the scene right before the intermission and I enjoyed the Oaken scene and loved the way Olaf was put into the show....even Sven looked real life. GO SEE THIS SHOW! :)

Frozen entertained everyone in our family...from 4 to 82 years old. A classic Disney show.

The show was well done and felt like you were experiencing magic from the beginning to the end!

This show was everything I would want from Broadway! Beautiful to watch, amazing to listen to, funny, emotional, true to the story but unique for the stage. I can't say enough good things about it.

Broadway voices do not disappoint. Effects are icy cold and beautiful.

Gorgeous costumes, terrific cast, great new songs, and the set and lights were amazing. Brought the story to life in a way I couldn t have imagined. Great show for fans of the cartoon and those who just love musical theatre.

Wow was absolutely Great I will go again and bring grandchildren.Elsa voice could be a little stronger bit the scenery was amazing and I Egg excited to return.

The sets, the songs, the story, the actors... Disney s Frozen on Broadway exceeded our expectations!! A must see for all ages!!!

I took my 6 year old daughter to see the show. It was fabulous! Fun, sweet, magical and lovely. The voices were incredible.

All the girls went to see frozen for age 13 - 81 all of us loved it this play will amaze you no matter what age you are

Disney does it again !! Wonderful show , costumes were beautiful, new songs were great and well worth the wait !!

Going into this show I had very high expectations considering my family and I are self proclaimed Frozen consesiours. Upon watching the show we were blown away by the special effects, particarillt the magical aspects of Elsa s personality. We thought that the show was one of the most unique and memorable broadway experiences we have ever been to. The cast was perfect for their roles. In particular, the women who played Elsa had a standout performance and we considered to be the best part of the show overall. However, at some points the show felt like the characters had a lack of chemistry. The costumes could have been improved in some areas as well. Overall, the venue was incredible and the permanent was excellent. We would highly recommend this show to anyone who is in the broadway area. As Frozen lovers, we can assure you that the value is worth it and the experience is one in a lifetime.

The singing is great, but the show falls short. Sets get in the way of viewing the action for a large portion of the audience.

This was a magical experience! The special effects were amazing. The acting and singing were superior. I could not imagine how the play could top the movie but Disney did it again.

This performance contains tremendous talent! The lighting effects were stunning! At one point my 11 year old daughter leaned over and whispered, "this is even better than the movie" which she absolutely adores! I think the critic in the NY Times had it all wrong and forgot who his audience is. This is really fantastic entertainment!!

The show stayed true to the animated film, but stretched just enough. Singing, dancing, staging...all terrific!

Went with my six year old son, we both loved it! True to movie, but equally dynamic on a stage. The talent of the cast was overwhelming. The audience enthusiasm was on fire!

We took our almost 4 year old to experience her first Broadway show and it did not disappoint My husband and I probably enjoyed it more than our daughter. The singing, dancing and effects were terrific. This is a hit production! And I would see it again in a heartbeat. Let it Go brought me to tears. It was that good!

Absolutely fantastic show, the best I ve seen in years. It was funny, whimsical and all around perfect. I would see it again in a heart beat.

Saw Frozen this past Weds. It was wonderful. Some subtle adult humor. Great sets and effects. If it ever comes to SF, we definitely be buying tickets. Want the rest of the family to see

Frozen is a perfect mix of magical effects, humor and music. Memorable songs from the film plus many new songs. The cast, especially Patti Murin are very good. Have seen it twice, once with a standby for Patti Murin and other understudies. Still a wonderful experience. If you sre a fan of the movie, don't miss it!

I was really impressed with the caliber of this production, not only from a staging perspective, but from the performances as well. The sets were quite visual, and changed seamlessly throughout the show. The performers, both young and old, were very engaging. The storyline was quite engaging as well, and kept my interest throughout. My daughter and I really enjoyed the show.

The theater and seats were great as were the ushers- the booster seats came in handy for the kids- the performance was beautiful-

My daughter is 26, at this moment she has difficulties walking and driving. She asked me to take to see the play. I went with her and I am glad I did.

Boring, no chemistry between the cast, no character development, disjointed. The production relies entirely on their projections and not on cast performances. Anna and Elsa have great voices but are not believable. If you want to see a great Disney show, go to Anastasia or Lion King.

I had read mixed reviews of Frozen and thought it was geared mainly to children so it wasn t my first choice for a show for myself and another adult. But since we won the lottery to buy discount tickets, we decided to give it a shot and are very glad we did. We enjoyed it much more than we had expected to and even teared up at the ends of both acts. Our seats at the far left of row D were labeled partial view. We couldn t see the actors for about 5% of the production. Choosing seats on the far right side might have been better. But since we got great close-up views of the action for the other 95% of the show, we re very grateful that we got seats so close to the stage. It seemed as though half of the audience was children, many of them in Elsa costumes. The St. James Theatre provides a live feed of the production in the lobby for younger guests who start to feel restless. We didn t notice any restless theatergoers near us. The audience gave the show a very enthusiastic reception.

Entertaining but ultimately disappointing! A paint by numbers adaptations with a few odd new choices.

Frozen was a wonderful evening of world class theatre. I am a grown man, and when I got my tickets from will-call I couldn't help but squeal a little in pure delight and that squeal was well rewarded with magnificent performances across the board. The special effects and staging provided real life magic as the snow queen built her castle in the mountains above Arendelle. The costumes were bright and fun, and pulled the whole show together. The theater even let you take pictures during the Curtain call which many people enjoyed in an otherwise NO camera zone.

It was simply amazing. Honestly there were a lot of parts that I liked more than the movie. The effects was surprisingly breathtaking.

Actors dressed in towels, at unnecessary sauna scene, alcoohol been called a good thing, actors dressed as if were naked, completely inappropriate messages and visual scenes for the audience.

I liked it; didn't love it. The book & music are not as strong as Beauty and the Beast or Lion King. I thought Elsa and Anna were well-cast. Caissie Levy s Let it Go was outstanding. I liked the special effects and Sven and Olaf. Now that I ve seen it, I think the NYTimes review hit some good points, but was a little harsh. I d recommend at a face-value ticket price for Disney fans. Also recommend for introducing children to Broadway musicals.

This was one of the best plays I have seen and I have seen many. I took my daughter and my 5 year old granddaughter and we went on a magical journey to a far away land. My granddaughter said this was the best day of her life!!!

My husband and I took our two boys (ages 6 1/2 and 7 1/2) to see Frozen on July 15th. The music and magic were AMAZING!!! The boys really enjoyed the magic especially, and I was very impressed with the sets and how they were able to make the frozen magic come alive! I was in tears most of the first half - it was that amazing! The cast was fabulous!! While I loved the show, there are many differences from the movie. This threw off the boys (and my husband) a bit. It's more difficult for them to understand why those changes were made. The new songs are wonderful and move the story along in this stage version; however, it does make it harder for kids to stay engaged. Also, there is a funny scene and new song for Oaken, which are really good! However, a caution to parents that the sauna-going folks do come out in nude-stockings to give the appearance that they are naked at the end of that song. While they are not actually nude, and the song and dance are very entertaining, I personally do not think that it was a necessary gag, since the show is geared toward kids. Ultimately, I got the question "are they really naked!?". Also, be prepared that the forest trolls are not made of rock and Pabbie is not old in this version - it takes some getting used to, but again, their scenes were well done and the actors who portrayed Pabbie and Bulda did an amazing job!

The special effects were really nice! Very creative ways of showing Elsa's ice power. Actors and actresses are great at concentrating on performance while occasionally interact with the audience with eye contacts and smiles.

Great show. Second time seeing it. The seats were great.

The show was fantastic. The actors were great and I loved how they had an actor working the Olaf figure, instead of having an actor play the part. It made it seem more like the movie for the kids. Beautiful old theater.

Amazing play! It was awesome. My 7 year old daughter loved it. I loved it. It was a great show.

We saw FROZEN this weekend with our 8 yr old granddaughter. It was spectacular! The talent was breathtaking and the technology mindblowing. Only negatives would be the wait time for the bathrooms and climbing the stairs to the balcony which is typical of any public venue, I believe.

My 7 year old grand was mesmerized. We both enjoyed this production. Music, singing, acting, costumes and special effects were extraordinary.

We took a six year old, two ten year olds and a 13 year old and we all loved it ( also including kids parents and grandparents)

One of the better Disney stage adaptations, partly because the composers are the same as for the movie and have lots of Broadway experience. The new songs actually flesh out the story and are pleasant to listen to. Phenomenal talent on stage. Only a few overly campy moments.

I wasn't sure how they would do the movie justice, it surpassed even my expectations. The cast was fantastic both together and separately. When Elsa changed into that beautiful blue gown there was a collective scream from the whole audience and the applause went on forever. A definite must see for any age.

Frozen was fantastic. One of the beat show i ve Ever seen. Scenery & costumes were amazing. Story stayed true to movie with original movie songs.

This production was absolutely spectacular. I loved the singing and dancing. All actors were spot on! The costumes and special effects were incredible! And how adorable was the reindeer, Svend! My granddaughter was jumping out of her seat! The adults loved this production as much as the kids did.

Frozen was one of the best I have ever seen!! So much better than the movie!

Disney plays a part it has to be great. Was curious how they would bring the movie to the stage, but they did it phenomenally. Elsa did not disappoint!!! One of the best broadway shows I have seen. St James venue is good. Extreme stadium seating provides good views from anywhere. Bathrooms were limited upstairs, especially for the ladies.

Great show for the whole family. Great theater too!!

Despite very unwelcoming service from front of house agent who first refused to issue booked ticket, because I came to pick up the ticket at 1 pm for a 6.30 pm show. Despite the long queues to get a drink and to get an overpriced programme, once in seat, which I paid over $ 250 center orchestra, I was struggling a little for perfect view of the stage as someone taller was sitting in front of me. .... The show is very nicely crafted and aesthetics are splendid a la Disney. Very Enjoyable cast with some very nice new songs. Enjoyable experience altogether but for the front of house , seat and overpriced merchandising !

Great family show. My whole family loved it and my husband and son are mini critics. :)

My wife and I really enjoyed the show. Outstanding cast \u2014 it was understudy for Anna (Lauren s) 1st time playing the role and she did a great job.

I saw Frozen on Broadway on a recent visit to New York. The show has just begun its Broadway run and these are the original cast members. All of the actors are well cast and did a great job. I was particularly impressed by the actors playing the young and adult Anna. The special effects were impressive. It's an altogether fun and happy show that all ages will love.

So much was changed from the movie and Queen Elsa in pants is unforgivable. My granddaughters were so disappointed they yelled out where s her dress???

I saw the show during its out of town run in Denver, and just saw it four times in NYC! This show is amazing! The effects are awesome, the look is beautiful, the cast is otherworldly and it is impossible to leave without a huge grin on your face. If you aren't screaming your head off by the end of Let It Go you're dead inside. I cannot wait to visit NY and see it again! Do yourself a favor and see it as quickly as possible while all of the original cast members are there.

This was exactly what it needed to be. It was a great stage adaptation. Was it life changing theatre? No, but I never expected it to be! It was magical, and gorgeously designed and produced. Disney knows how to do it right!

Frozen:The Broadway Musical was fantastic!! The set design and costumes were marvelous. The actors were phenomenal. Their vocals and talents were incredible!! The perfect family show!! Filled with the power of love.

Truly a breath taking rendition of the classic everyone has come to know and love. Great visual effects without losing the characters. Very well done and the new songs fit in seamlessly. I recommend the later showings ( no matinees) if you don't want a child singing along ;p

My husband and I had decided as soon as we heard that Frozen was coming to Broadway that we would buy tickets for our children and grandchildren to see the show. So glad we did. It was a great experience for our grandchildren as it was their first play. We all loved it and the acting and singing was phenomenal.

If you want to see and hear the whole show go to the 8 pm show not the 2 pm . There were a lot of children under 8y/o. It is not recommended for little children for a reason. The show was great, the special effects and the singers were awesome

It was a beautiful experience.my granddaughter was so happy.

A fun show that, of course, is competing with the movie version of itself. We loved the story and diversity of the cast was brilliant. So relatable for families! The leads all sang well and put their hearts in it. The chorus is brilliant and totally steals the show. The number with the Swedish outpost folks is awesome! The orchestra was precise and was not too loud so maybe someone on broadway is finally getting it that cranking up everyone s mic s is not a good idea. I usually bring earplugs to a broadway show but Frozen didn t require me to use them! The theater is very uncomfortable and not raked enough so I had to constantly move my head back and forth to see since the person in front of me had to as well and the person in front of her, etc. My daughter had a booster seat and also had trouble seeing. I know it s an old theater but a seat renovation would keep people coming. I won t pursue going again to that theater.

Although the performances are excellent, including the voice of Elsa and the comedic performance of Anna, the production is the worst of all the Disney musicals. It feels like a production that you would get at Disneyworld venue directed at children rather than a Broadway show. The added plot is sophomoric, the dialogue boring and the second act tedious. Except for the one added comedic number the added songs are forgetful. It seems rushed to Broadway when it needed a major overhaul. The effects were soso. Seats at the side should be discounted as they miss the majority of the effects. The theater has few amenities. If you are a die hard fan of the movie or have girls under 14 you will attend. But if you are deciding what show to see this is not the caliber of Beauty and the Beast, Lion King or Aladdin.

Both versions of Anna stole the show in this spectacular musical! It was like being in the animated film, only better. We had 3rd row center seats - close enough to be blinded by Elsa's super gorgeous ice dress. Oaken getting his own dance number added to the merriment. This is one not to miss on Broadway.

See it if your curiosity about Disney s newest Broadway musical is keeping you up at night. Don't see it if you are able to get reasonably priced tickets to any of the following musicals: Dear Evan Hansen, Hamilton, The Band s Visit, The Book of Mormon, Chicago, Kinky Boots, Wicked, or The Lion King. Otherwise, just rent the DVD of the original animated movie and save yourself some money. Frozen The Musical isn t an awful show, but I was disappointed. Almost two months to the day since the first preview, I finally got to attend a matinee performance of the show through the magic of the online ticket lottery. For the low price of $35.00, I sat seven rows from the stage in what can best be described as a partial view seat even though I was NEVER informed when accepting the ticket that it was in fact a partial view seat (couldn t see 20 percent of the stage left side of the stage). For the most part, the Broadway musical sticks pretty close to the same storyline of the Disney animated feature with only a few minor changes due to the live action nature of the show. Patti Murin and Caissie Levy are well cast as sisters Anna and Elsa. The character of Olaf was well embodied by Greg Hildreth. I specifically loved the Adam Jepsen s performance as Sven the reindeer. Other than that, by the time the song Let It Go was performed, I was totally ready to LET GO of my experience of seeing Frozen the musical. I should have just rented the animated movie and been done with it.

I had purchased tickets the minute they went up for presale, I've been a Frozen Fan since I fell in love with Idina Menzel's performance at the Oscars for "Let It Go!" As a tumblr user, I had seen clips, vids, pics, audio, everything that fans could post plus all the publicity photos and releases that Disney had put out. I was PUMPED! And my final evaluation: It was everything I had hoped it would be. This was my first trip to Broadway, although I've seen touring shows. It was WONDERFUL! The St. James theater is cozy, but the staff was polite and warm and caring. I use a mobility scooter (yes, old ladies love Disney, too!) and they were so helpful, parking it for me once I had gotten to my seat, and returning it after the show in a timely manner. The staging was excellent, the lighting and music and special effects were splendid. The additional story and songs added so much emotional depth to the tale of a family torn apart and then reunited. And the cast? The cast was superb. Caissie Levy and Patti Murin were Elsa and Anna brought to magical life. The younger actors (Mattea Conforti was Anna for our show) were also perfect. The ensemble sang and danced their hearts out, and the staging of the final storm where Anna freezes was ... ingenious There were many small children in costumes in the audience (a Sunday matinee), the little guy dressed as Kristoff across the aisle from us was a charmer. Speaking of Kristoff, Jelani Alladin has a beautiful, expressive voice and really played the role to a fare-thee-well. His chemistry with Patti Murin as Anna worked! My two friends and I did the stage door after the show. The theater staff had a well designed autograph line setup, and the actors who came out were so gracious and happy to sign autographs! The actor who played Oaken stayed in character and was a real charmer. Greg Hildreth (Olaf) worked the entire line and hung around the longest and took a selfie with me! Unfortunately, Patti, Caissie, John Riddle and Jelani Alladin did not appear. I'm sure they had a commitment of some sort, because they have been seen in a lot of twitter and instagram posts with the fans at the stage door. It was a small disappointment, but not enough to detract from the overall terrific experience of the afternoon. All I can say is, if you are a fan of Frozen, this ticket is worth it! I intend to go see it again as soon as possible, even though I live in the midwest. The picture I attached to this review is the view from our hotel window! I didn't want us to be too far away to walk!

My son was so excited when I surprised him with this musical during the Tartan Day parade. He could not contained his excitement during the first hour. He insisted that I clapped loudly after each and every song. We were probably the only father son combo. I enjoyed the visuals very much. Costumes were great, even if I had to watch Anna in underwear a couple times for costume changes. After one hour, he started dozing off. It was late and a lot of the scenes were dimly lit. During intermission, he wanted to go back to the hotel. I took him outside for fresh air and that worked. The second act started with Huey Gay (?), and I cringed as it was risqué. How to explain why the branches were positioned where they were. Now, there is no nudity but ... The kids really really loved it. The script might need some revision, again for this to last a long time. Remove the death scenes, make it a bump in the head and the parents getting old without a funeral scene. Brighten the scenes, especially the mountain ones in Act 1. That will keep the kids awake. No risqué nude costumes, make them wear bright color ones. Not sure what to do with Han s sword scene since I like the ice scene. By the way, am I the only one to think he has a powerful voice? The theater is very compact so I was shocked it can hold 1700. There are lots of resellers, no need to pay full price. I would watch it again, but just to see my kid rock with excitement!

this show is so amazing i love every moment in this show

Frozen was everything expected! Let your children dress up it makes the show even better!

Young and older Anna was fabulous. New songs did nothing for the show. Overall, my family enjoyed it. They did a great job with the stage props on such a small stage.

How incredible it was to see a Disney show that felt it was talking to adults! The characters were so well developed and their voices were incredible. The lighting and special effects brought to magic the power of snow and love. It was a show I would go watch again in a heartbeat

Impressively well done! Loved that they stayed true to the movie while also adding the 'something extra' for the stage. I have seen numerous shows and this one had moments that truly had me 'dropping my jaw'. Incredibly impressive and well done on the settings, tech, and lighting. This show is one of the rare shows that can transport you to another world. Highly recommended!

Frozen is a show for the entire family. It has all that makes a great musical...excellent storyline, creative staging, colorful costumes, great choreography, an amazing cast, beautiful music. It is a wonderful Disney work, with all the "magic" that comes with it. Disney did it again! This show will be around for decades. It is timeless. What more could you want? This show appeals to all ages and definitely is not just for children. Bravo!

I was excited. I remember the impression of the movie.

Wanted to see this show again after seeing it in Denver last year. And I m so glad I went again. It s just as good if not better!!!

We were not sure what to expect, especially when surrounded by children. But the show was done well! The special effects made the ice look real. The show was made for both children and adults!

My kids and I enjoyed the show very much. Cassie as Elsa was awesome. Her vocals were pretty amazing. I was not too excited about Aisha's performance. I am not sure but I did not connect well. Loved Kristoff what an amazing work by Jalani. I wish Oaken was played by a really hulking person. Aguilla looked more like a leprechaun. Overall we had an amazing 2 hours of wonderful entertainment! Great show!

It was Magical I loved it the entire cast was amazing

This was my 11yo. Daughter's first Broadway show she was stunned and amazed... fun for all ages definitely recommend to all... The Cast put on an awesome perfromance and the costumes were phenomenal...

I thought the Elsa s transformation so poor until Hollywood Studios makes so better.

The cast and set were great. We enjoyed the show a lot!

My daughter and I have been to plays in our small town, but this show far exceeded our expectations

For a Disney production it was quite bland. Decent acting, boring sets, unforgettable new music. Stick to the movie, it's a whole lot better.

From the first note of the introduction to the last note of the finale, Frozen was incredible! The singers were phenomenal, the orchestra was spot on, the costumes and sets were beautiful, and the special effects were fantastic! The venue staff was friendly and helpful, the only thing that was a bit problematic was how tight the seating was in the mezzanine. But, if you get a chance, go see this wonderful production.

I have to admit that I am a little Frozen-ed out. I have seen the movie a million times with my girls. I do love the story, and I decided it was a must to go to NY to see it on Broadway. The show did not disappoint. The music was great. The cast was amazing. The show was funny, touching, and all that a Disney show should be. The show really pulled off the icy magic of Elsa. My kids favorite part was when Elsa changed into her "Frozen" dress. It was so quick that everyone seemed to be impressed. I was surprised how many children were at the show even though I shouldn't have been since the story is really tailored to a younger audience.

won lottery tkts for Frozen, 10th row orchestra on side view. Seats were great, as was production. We enjoyed the music, the talented performers and the visual effects. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Fun and funny! Great special effects and costumes.

Wife and daughter had a mommy and daughter day and it was worth every cent

Our family absolutely loved every minute! Truly a magical experience!!

The show was fantastic. Everyone performed amazingly and it was a fun time. My only complaint and it is a small one: the seats I had were still kind of partial view even though they were not called it. I still saw almost the entirety of the show but there were a few moments. Overall, H21 and H23 seats were still fantastic and I loved the show.

I really enjoyed Frozen. Loved how it stayed true to the movie, but added new songs that were totally right for the musical. Enjoyed the entire cast and I smiled, laughed and cried during the performance.

This Broadway production dazzles the audiences. The cast have great voices. I could go every week and would never be bored. This production is terrific and so much fun. My 10 year old grandchild was mesmerized. Great job!

What a talented bunch of actors. My family of 4 enjoyed the show so much! The new music is fabulous and the casts makes a terrific show! My 11yo and 14 yo girls smiled during the entire show. Thank you thank you!

Absolutely stunning. The snow scene with the castle took my breath away with the digital ice effects. Wow! That s all I have to say. Must see it.

I really really recommend everyone. It was my best musical. Very wonderful, fantastic and magic. I really want to see again!

Frozen was a disappointment. The songs from the movie were performed well and the cast is strong. But, the additional music for the show is mediocre and there the emphasis seems be on the technical effects rather than presenting a cohesive story. In fact, during the performance I saw, there was a technical glitch. "Let It Go" had to be done over after a delay to reset the effects.

Wow!! The talent of these actors/singers was off the charts. Beautiful story, slightly changed for the stage. Special effects were amazing!! When Elsa s dress changed, I was just balling with joy and excitement... and the woman can sing!!! It made us laugh! Adult humor was fantastic. A great show for all ages!! Bravo!

Conversion from a successful & entertaining movie was left in the freezer! Outside of the one hit song sung at the conclusion of the first act and end of the show, a 4 star flop!!!! Logic, creativity, & entertainment skills were left in the cutting room! Strongly suggest if you have tickets for an upcoming performance, get the family together & burn them. It will make for a much better evening!

Took our two kids (14 and 12) and it was phenomenal. The visual effects for the set "freezing over" were stunning and it was just a beautiful and fun show. We saw several younger kids, but also couples with no kids. There were a few cheeky lines that appeal to adults the way they do in kids movies now, so it will appeal to people of all ages.

What a fantastic show! Great acting and amazing effects!!! My daughter was really thrilled! We ll do it again pretty soon!
