Yeah I had no audience issues at Frozen either. Obviously it was full of families and there was some talking and noises but nothing that disturbed.
By far the worse audiences have been at shows with drunk adults or younger (teens/twenties) theatre fans/drama students who love to show how well they know a show/how much they love it etc

They are so bad I really think they should get lectures on not trying to perform from the audience. Not in terms of Frozen, it was fine when I went too, no real issues and nothing worse than any other show. |

Don't forget the Disney Day Seats, or Magic Mondays, or whatever they're called this week 👍 Has anyone had any luck w Magic Mondays before? Not sure if I book the cheapest seats in advance or try next week for this |

Drama students are the worst. They are so bad I really think they should get lectures on not trying to perform from the audience. Not in terms of Frozen, it was fine when I went too, no real issues and nothing worse than any other show. I got caught up in a group of drama students going around Sainsbury's and they were performing even then! Not even musical theatre students. It must just be a group mentality thing. They're always lovely when you speak to them individually (not that they're not lovely in a group, just it can be a bit overpowering). Has anyone had any luck w Magic Mondays before? Not sure if I book the cheapest seats in advance or try next week for this Yes, but I haven't tried for a while. If you're going on your own (or willing to sit apart from others), I'd definitely go for that route, but the tickets can go quickly. All depends on your risk tolerance. Don't forget you can get TodayTix rush on the day too (£29.50 each). |

Not sure if I book the cheapest seats in advance or try next week for this Yep, you've just got to make sure you're on the site at 12 on the dot. I've bagged seat E7 in the royal circle before for £25 with Magic Mondays, normally £70! It'll probably be more difficult to get cheap tickets around Christmas though...and I noticed the cheapest seats way up in the balcony are selling well, not surprising given how expensive tickets are! |

Have to say the FOH staff at this theatre are outstanding. I've had reason to write to the management 3 times this year to pass on my thanks to the team when they have helped me.

Well this is just lovely!
For context this little girl went viral earlier this year when she sang Let It Go in a bomb shelter in Ukraine

Random question - How long is Samantha Barks currently scheduled to be in FROZEN for?
Are there any performances she is scheduled to be off?

As far as I know she's in it till it closes, it got extended to mid October but I'd be very surprised if it closes then, they'll probably extend it again to at least January. And in terms of holidays it's best to keep an eye on Instagram, she posts her upcoming holidays every so often on her Stories 🙂 |

Went to see this a couple weeks ago. I didn´t love it. Emily Lane was wonderful as Anna. She made the most out of every moment she had onstage. First cover Laura Emmitt was on for Elsa. I really enjoyed her portrayal, but the American accent she´s been told to use makes it slightly caricaturesque, and worsens her otherwise perfect vocals. Djavan Van der Fliert was terrific as Kristoff. He really is a star to be. The rest of the cast and ensemble were great as well.
I was expecting a huge spectacular show, and ice castle aside, I found it underwhelming. Some big set pieces plus a ton of projections. The lighting was excellent, but the sound... not so much. I expected much more "oomph" from the orchestra. Some of the new songs work better than others. The Saturday matinée audience was generally well behaved, and the FOH staff were excellent.
Three stars for me. An entertaining show with some great moments.

On my way home tonight (from a different show) I noticed that the Frozen posters in the tube say “Prepare To Let It Go”
They may have said they for ages and I’m just noticing, but I’m sure it’s new. Is it a hint?

Pretty sure this has been the style since before christmas, think they were using Prepare to let it go as one of the taglines before it opened too.

Before opening makes a bit of sense. Hopefully I’m just reading subtext that isn’t there :-)

Re the performance on Ant and Dec on Saturday, has the full dress change ever been shown on TV before? Usually she's just in the blue dress from the start.

And so was the Australian production Yikes, that pitch "correction" at 3min28s. Can't believe anyone thought that sounded natural  |

Has anyone heard of any extension past October yet? I've heard that Sam Barks is joining the judging panel for ITVs Mamma Mia show, I'm wondering if they'll extend and find a new Elsa.
