The full Disney 1 hour show: With some polishing and actors that can sing, it's bound to look like this. The princesses costumes look terrible. Especially the transformation in in Let It Go. Very un-fabulous. |

To be fair that show does look quite good for a Disneyland production. They would just need to up the set a lot (not rely on projections as much) and get good singers and the show will work well like that!

I think Annaleigh could actually do so much better. Give it to the brainless belters. Caisey Levy is a fantastic performer and this seems to be right up her alley.

Maybe they should do a legally blonde revival I think Annaleigh could actually do so much better. Give it to the brainless belters. Caisy Levy is a fantastic performer and this seems to be right up her alley. |

She's too overqualified for this at this point. Though I can imagine people wanting to see her in a concert version. She did go on just once in Legally Blonde.

Patti Myron as Anna, Cassie Levy as Elsa. Jelani Alladin as Kristoff, Greg Hildreth as Olaf, John Riddle as Hans, and Robert Creighton as the Duke of Weselton. ali973 wins a point for this one! (My bold) I think Annaleigh could actually do so much better. Give it to the brainless belters. Caisey Levy is a fantastic performer and this seems to be right up her alley. |

This is one I would usually skip. Not a fan of the film at all.
But I will watch Caissie Levy in literally anything and I have a friend in the ensemble. So the show will be on my "to see" list in 2018.

I absolutely adore this casting. |

So much for a hunky blond Scandinavian playing Kristoff. I'm disappointed and it's simple PC casting. It was a white only film - historically and culturally accurate. He is meant to be a Nordic ice harvester who lives in the mountains near Arendelle! Sorry I don't buy it, I mean congratulations to Disney for embracing diversity on Broadway...now if only they'd do it more in their actual animated films...

Yeaah Disney isn't perfect on representation issues but they were actually pretty ahead of their time during the 90s renaissance. You certainly saw more non-white leads in Disney animated movies than you did in pretty much any other genre back then.

They're also good with casting the voices. People would object to blackface in a live action film but somehow the idea of "blackvoice" gets overlooked. Not at Disney.
(I think Disney gets a lot of criticism on the basis that large organisation = evil = any criticism must be valid. Walt Disney himself was something of a **** but that doesn't mean it's a requirement to work for the company.)

I take it you never saw The Princess and the Frog, Big Hero 6 or Moana, then? I think the whole point is why didn't they do it in the film in the first place. The same with Harry Potter. Changing it later looks just like a PC move. I personally don't care if parts are played by any colour, any colour of skin - but alas it doesn't work like that. |

I think this is a disgrace and PC blind colour casting gone too far. What about an all white cast of The Lion King? Madness... I'm sorry but it has to be said. |
