First look at the cast in costume (and the accompanied video for it).

I think it's a shame Hans doesn't look like he does from the film. Mostly because he was like a vision of everything Anna could want served on a platter (he even looked like a matching set with her, with the same color hair, etc.), which was part of the point? Eh, I guess it doesn't matter. The costumes do look very nice.

I really like the costumes too except for Anna's skirt which I prefer the movie version of and Hans' overall look like what Disney's Divinity said.

its weird that they insist on the girls looking like their animated counterparts but with the guys they're like...whatever. I miss Hans' sideburns. :P

I think all the costumes look great! I really like Anna's green one!

I wish they had kept Hans and Kristoff's looks (besides costumes), but whatever.

Lovely costumes.

I thought they would have been a little more creative though ? Though they are so iconic they can't stray too far I suppose.

I hope some of the new songs in the first act are 1-2 minutes tops (particularly the songs when the sisters are children). I don't want this musical to end up feeling as bloated as TLM.

Smart of them to have "Let It Go" end the first act.

I heard they kind of downplayed Anna and Elsa's roles and characteristics (especially Anna's strengths) and Elsa's powers, literally not having many accompanying special effects for her ice powers. If that's the case, I hope they fix that before the show comes to Broadway.

Especially with extending Elsa and Anna's reconciliation and not just having them like "I'm glad we're family again" before Anna goes over to Kristoff and kisses him

I'm sorry, blackcauldron85. Well, the snippets were very short. I've tried to find new ones, but Disney seems to have taken down all the illegal recordings.

no worries, I didn't think you were being sarcastic at all! :) and look through both "Frozen musical" and "Frozen Broadway" tags, they may have taken down the earlier posted audio files but you'll also find video/gifs of some of the performances and written descriptions of scenes.

The actor for Kristoff actually looks the best so far from those pictures. Anna's actress has a hard job ahead of her, I imagine, trying to make all those facial expressions. :lol:

Iduna (*cough*Idina*cough*) and Agnarr. I like that they’ve changed the trolls into more human-esque Hidden Folk, and that they’ve explained Elsa’s powers away via her mother being one of them.

I’m glad that Jennifer Lee is involved in this.
