Frozen genuinely works SO MUCH BETTER as a stage show then it does as a movie, probably because with musical's you have a lot more time to unpack everything, and Frozen is a VERY heavy story. Anna and Elsa's trauma is given so much more room to be explored in the musical because it doesn't need to be condensed for plot progression. We're allowed to just pause everything for like 3 minutes just to get a glimpse into what's going on in Elsa's mind, which I feel we really didn't get enough of in the original film. The extra time also gives them more of a chance to flesh out Anna and Kristoff's relationship, which, while I still think pairing them off at the end was unnecessary at BEST, does at least make them getting together make more sense then it does in the movie. They were also allowed to lean into the darker aspects of the story a lot more, since parents are less likely to take their kids to see a broadway show than they are to take them to a movie theater. The horror Elsa feels at the prospect of hurting people, or more specifically Anna, again is touched on so much more in depth in the musical. She also like, actively contemplates suicide that one time? "Do I kill the monster" - Elsa, in reference to herself. That would NOT have flown in the movie, I'll tell you that much. They're also allowed to be much hornier??? Which isn't necessarily a good thing, more neutral all things considered, but it is funny so I'll count that as a plus lmao.
Weirdly though, despite all the extra time, they did not take a minute to properly foreshadow Hans being the twist villain. Which you knew I had to bring it back to because complaining abt that fucking plot twist has been the only thing I've done in this fandom so far. In fact, I'd say the reveal is almost WORSE on stage, because they can't use all those camera angles that help build tension in the movie, and because the twist is so out-of-left-field there's literally no way to know it's coming unless you've already seen Frozen, which tbh I think the people that intially adapted the movie for broadway might've taken for granted. They took the time to give Hans his own solo number with TWO REPRISES, but don't take a moment to show the audience that he's actually the bad guy until the "if only there was someone who loved you" moment. Tbh it's kinda ironic, since the Hans plot twist is the #1 thing people tend to have a problem with in the original movie. My biggest issue with the Hans plot twist overall is that it really clutters the movie and just feels like a weird aside that distracts you from the actual. Plot. But since they have more room to work with it in the stage show, it didn't have to be that way! If they had revealed Hans' true intentions during, idk, maybe the end of the first Hans of the Southern Isles Reprise, it would've helped build tension in the later scene, because WE understand that Anna is in danger, but SHE doesn't. But alas, complaining about writing chocies you didn't like on the internet won't change them, so I am forced to look on the bright side. What is the bright side, you may ask?

why are theatre kids the way that they are? like, it must be studied. why are theatre kids how.
no matter the genre, the celebrity status or lack thereof, the ethnic background or nationality, theatre kids will simply theatre kid and they’re just all fundamentally the frickin same like sir
some of them get so big and famous but somewhere, somehow, the lil theatre kid slips through the cracks and shows their molars like a gollum and it just all finally falls into place and it’s just… wow

It's the end of another Broadway touring season for Playhouse Square so I thought I'd post my current collection of all the shows I've seen at Playhouse since 2017 😊
I've been privileged enough to be able to get season tickets for the past two years and it's been amazing. Some day I'd love to be able to afford to see a show in New York but I love going to Playhouse. The tours are always incredible.
Here's to adding more and more! New season start soon!

And for no obvious reason
That I can't go on

Elsa concept pant suit by me
In a post, I talked about wanting a pant suit for Elsa in Frozen 3 as her main look, only because of how much I'm obsessed with Elsa's pant suit in the Broadway version of the movie. So I made an illustration of what it could look like with her new style as fifth spirit as promised.

Thoughts behind the art
I imagine her running across the woods or Arendelle much easier and feeling like a hero for Arendelle and Northuldra. It would be like a mashup of her main iconic frozen 2 outfits; The blue coat look and her white transformation. I also gave her the unity necklace, the necklace that was originally meant to go with her epilogue artie as concept arts go. Instead of spreading out crystals, I thought it would look more of a gradient if they were enclosed together and smaller. I also thought that Elsa would suit a mini skirt like she had under her blue coat. Her cape here is one piece attached from the tip of the shoulder instead of from the arm and being two separate ones like her epilogue because again having the cape longer and separate would get in the way. For her boots I wanted to closely match her attire but her heel is all ice just like her kitten heels and her sandals. The fur... What can I say I just thought it would be interesting to see what it would be like if I kept the fut from the Broadway design. And there you have it. Here are two main references for the look.

I thought it was time for my ✨INTRODUCTION POST✨
Hi there!
My name’s Cara i’m 18 years old and I’m a Reformed Protestant and massive Broadway and musical theatre fan
-My favorite movie is West Side Story 2021
-My favorite Broadway show is Newsies
-My favorite TV show is probably The Dick Van Dyke Show but I also love Gilmore Girls
-My favorite performer is Aaron Tveit and hopefully one day I’ll get to see him in person
-My favorite music (outside of musicals) is anything by Laufey but my taste is super diverse and I can jam to basically anything
-My favorite color changes super often but right now it’s red
-My favorite Newsie is—uh—I CANT PICK but race, and albert hold a very special place in my heart
I have a ton of hobbies including but not limited to:
-Drawing, gardening, painting, playing the guitar, violin, banjo, and piano (I’m not very good but it’s fun) writing, cooking, reading, working out, sewing, crocheting
Random facts about yours truly:
-I sing a ton but have a low range for a girl so tenor songs are where it’s at 🤙
-I have four older siblings and four younger
-Anastasia got me WAY to into Soviet Russia history
-I hope to start taking ballet classes in the future but don’t have time for it now
-I have five crazy nieces and nephews
-I’ve never been in theatre but my dream roles are Race from Newsies and Anastasia from Anastasia. Hopefully I’ll start acting soon. I’m trying to find a community theater.
-I taught myself how to harmonize by ear and now struggle more to stay on melody than harmony
Shows I love and will post about include:
Newsies
West Side Story
Tuck Everlasting
Anastasia
Wicked (I saw the tour for my eighteenth birthday and adored every minute of it)
Hadestown (saw the tour!! Literally incredible!!)
Les Miserables
