I dunno if it’s the double champagne cocktail on an empty stomach speaking, but the show is growing on me. The beginning took a while for me to be invested but the little Anna was super adorbs and saved it for me (I also had to stifle a laugh at the “effects” which were pretty elementary and not what I was expecting from a multi-million dollar production).
Also as a Broadway nerd I’m not used to being surrounded by so many little kids – you can’t shush a four-year-old and not look like a jerk, y’know?
But Kristoff is Black which is pretty hella awesome, although the best cast member by far is whomever is in the Sven puppet.
Unofficial verdict during Lyft ride home:
It was enjoyable but somehow lacking the magic (heh) that could make it feel extra special. Then again, I’m not a four-year-old girl, so maybe that’s why I felt a missing spark.
The cast was phenomenal, though, and seriously whomever was in the Sven puppet gets all my love because that was some incredible artistry.
