Just grabbing a McFlurry at Leicester Square then walking down, via the displays in Covent Garden ❄️👸 Edit. I’m in a long sleeve retro England shirt with a London 2012 shoulder bag. If anyone sees me say hi! |

Wow! Wow! Wow! Loved it!
Not the best that I've ever seen, but seriously impressive!
In particular I loved the work by the ensemble, the sets and the costumes; the dancing and the way the dresses billowed and of course the thrilling Elsa costume change.
The sets were also serious impressive, as was the crystal palace.
Steph McKeon was sensations- extremely well cast as Anna. We had Danielle Fiamanya on today from Elsa.
For me, the star of the show was Obioma Ugoala as Kristoff. Every time he was on stage his presence grew on me more and more.
(I appreciate it was all clever staging and trickery ) but I was sold. I believed they were in a frozen environment.
Olaf, as in the film, was brilliant.
I noticed they cut the frozen snow monster from the film- wise choice.
Criticisms- minimal. I would have liked to see a slightly larger version of the Lord Weselton character.
(Although I understand her motivation for doing do) but I also found Elsa the weakest of the two sisters.
It was a Sunday matinee so of course there were lots (and I mean lots) of kids- so many dressed as Elsa- but relatively we behaved.
What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon and for £25, I ain't complaining.
Right, Mary Poppins, you're next on my list

I'm not sure if anyone here is on the Thursday dating app, but they've got a ticket deal where for £40 you get a seat in the royal circle and a free drink in the theatre bar. I checked and I think the tickets for those seats are normally £79.50. It's for the 29th September evening performance. I've already seen Frozen twice, but I'm quite keen to go and see it again as the new Anna (Emily Lane) will have begun the role by then 😊

Does Samantha Barks do all 8 shows a week (barring Illness) or does she have an alternate who does a show or two?
I would just think doing a five show weekend would be very taxing vocally so was curious… I’m going to be singing the show and then deciding what day to book.

She does all 8 shows barring illness and holidays, she’s been an absolute trooper this past year to be honest! |

Lots of people have the money to pay for such prices - especially those from the city and the corporate world. Same with boxes in football games, expensive hotel rooms and expensive holidays i suppose. Plus its only a small selection of seat in the theatre. Those prices aren't meant to be for the average theatre goer - but premium seats bring great profit and DO sell! |

I agree when premium seats came in that's right, but I also think it has slowly pushed up the price of other seats too. Most of the other stalls seats are £225 and £175. Cheapest stalls seat right on the edges are still £115. Even the balcony is £80! |

It's fluid pricing and the theatre will try and get as much money as they can. No different than airlines over the festive period.
But as well as prices going up they can come down if not selling well.
Just a case of keeping check especially if you are flexible

Don't forget the Disney Day Seats, or Magic Mondays, or whatever they're called this week 👍

I know people have had mixed experiences in terms of watching this with a lot of the audience being kids, is there a quieter time in the week to go? (I don't mind the odd interruption due to it having a younger audience, I'm glad they're being introduced to theatre, but if I can go at a quieter time I may as well!)

It's Christmas and NY when people want to treat people and they have money to spend. Of course the prices are going to be more.
If you go to see Frozen at the end of Jan, prices start at £20 and top price is £89. There's no premium either.
Simple supply and demand.

I went to a midweek matinee during school term time and even then the audience was full of kids. It was the noisiest audience I’ve ever been in (even more so than the drunken hen parties at Mamma Mia!) but it didn’t seem to affect my viewing as I sort of expected it. |

If anything, I found being around 5 year olds maybe added a little to my experience of the show. I say this as a distinctly childfree adult who finds it challenging to feign any interest in other people’s offspring. But the little girls next to me were so enchanted by the whole thing that their occasional exclamations of joy at what was happening on stage just made the whole thing more charming.

I've seen Frozen 3 times now and each time there were lots of young children there. I didnt have any issues at all and it was so lovely to see the little girls all dressed up on their princess costumes. They do talk and chatter but, to be honest, no worse than the behaviour of adults at many shows.
After all its a kids show.
