The Frozen set looks like Oxford Street in December.

Shrek was a big fat flop on Broadway, despite kind reviews.
Shrek then came to the same theatre as Frozen and turned it into a big hit over here, so guessing Disney I hoping for the same.

From Baz in the Daily Mail
"It's not a blueprint of what we did in America,' Grandage agreed. Designer Christopher Oram has built a sprawling staircase and a bridge, for Elsa's icy monument. 'There's a new ice palace, for God's sake!' he cried. 'And new icicles!!'
The musical — the biggest new show to open this year — will be the flagship production; more awesome than its namesakes in Australia, Japan and the U.S."

I’m fully expecting this to be a vast improvement on the show I saw in NYC.
I wasn’t going to bother seeing it, but I’ve heard that many changes have been made (as well as new set pieces) so have booked tickets now. Also very much want to see the refurbished ‘Lane’ very much.

Yes I'm excited to see the gorgeous building!
Has anyone used the o2 priority on any of the LW theatres for the VIP lounge, any reviews on it?

Full range of merchandise now available in the foyer to all and sundry. No ticket required...just a healthy bank balance or a flexible friend!

I am really keen to see this. The London cast seem a lot stronger than the Broadway one. I really couldn’t stand Patti Murin as Anna. I didn’t like her voice and her attitude in real life is even worse, no where near nice enough to be a Disney princess. I think Samantha will kill the role of Elsa and Steph looks much better than Patti as Anna. Will hopefully pick up some tickets further into the run!

What do you hate about her attitude ? want the gossip My main reason for not thinking so highly of her is when she went on a massive anti-bootleg tirade last year. She started off by just spewing the regular arguments against it which is fine, but then she publicly called out one fan in particular, they had an exchange and then she deleted all of her tweets citing that it had an effect on her mental health, without caring that the person she was calling out was now getting attacked. She then went on to sub tweet one of her own cast members, Ciara, who only got to play Elsa a few times before the show closed, and called her out for posting a clip of a bootleg of her singing Let it Go. Just uncalled for. If you feel so strongly about it, speak to her privately, don’t make a show of it all over social media. |

I nearly bought one of those end of row seats but when hovered over the seat it said there was no aisle far left and right so didn't but it as I need aisle for legroom. Looks like the configuration has changed quite a bit.

Anyone know if there’s any way to trick the system and just get one seat into your basket? I want to book one of these bargain front stalls seats but they’re all pairs with the “don’t leave a single seat” message.

I was just watching a behind the scenes film on YouTube and saw that Olaf is played by Craig Gallivan. Thought I recognised his face and then realised he was Stella's son on Stella with Ruth Jones. Didn't know he was a MT person.

Didn't know he was a MT person. Indeed he is, first came across him as Billy Elliot’s brother Tony many years ago and he was also Dewey in School of Rock. |
