To think that 'Frozen' is just a version of Wicked set in ice complete with Idina Menzel?

I loved the score but the characters of Elsa & Elphaba are so similar!

Dd hasn't stopped singing Let it Go but hates the credits version sung by Demi Lovato.

It's so going to end up on stage.

DD reckons it will be on in London just as she finishes her training, along with Tangled & the Princess & the frog Grin

She hopes

Dd is learning it with her singing teacher as a change from her Grade 3 pieces.

I've started to heckle "It Melts" at appropriate points rather like in "Living next door to Alice"

Yes, it's already been announced! Keep up ladies Grin

I am SO excited about the prospect of Frozen on stage.

balenciaga · 25/02/2014 19:30

aww my dd LOVES this

I am sooooo taking her to the stage version!!

Backtobedlam · 25/02/2014 19:35

There's going to be a heck of a lot of young girls desperate for the part of Elsa! Fab soundtrack, it'll be great on stage.

PenguinBear · 25/02/2014 19:37

We've not seen this one.

Can someone give me a brief run down of the synopsis? I LOVE Wicked so may have to watch this!

Picturesinthefirelight · 25/02/2014 19:53

Well for a start penguin Idina Menzel plays Elsa

Two sisters very close. The younger was born with unexplained powers. She turns things to ice. Accidentally injured younger sister whilst playing so shuts herself away, etc etc

They grow up, parents due so she becomes queen. Gets angry in public. Powers unleashed. Flees but turning the whole kingdom into winter in the process

Cue misunderstood big song Let It Go with classic Idina belting. Ordinary people are in pursuit. I won't spoil the end.

Oh you've got the sisters/best friends duet in there too.

I thought it was based on the Snow Queen.

Picturesinthefirelight · 25/02/2014 20:00

The credits says it is & I can see that sort of loosely. But the characters & situation just reminded me if Wicked.

But I guess if you take the spin that wicked is the alternative viewpoint of Wizard of Oz then Frozen shows the alternative viewpoint of The Snow Queen.

And there's an AMAZING snowman called Olaf Grin

SabrinaMulhollandJjones · 25/02/2014 20:33

I can see the similarities with Wicked, definitely. DD loved it - so if it gets to stage I can see I'll be booking tickets Grin

ahlahktuhflomp · 25/02/2014 20:42

Looking forward to seeing this with DDs - secretly a bit excited after all the good reviews. :)

RobinSparkles · 25/02/2014 20:43

It's going to be on stage?!? :o

We watched it at the cinema in December and ever since I the DDs have been obsessed. We've been belting out Let it Go and Do You Wanna Build a Snowman ever since.

I really want to see Wicked!

BratinghamPalace · 25/02/2014 21:01

I do not know of one child, boy or girl, who dislikes the film. My three are bananas for it. The older two belt out Let it Snow from the minute they wake up in the morning and the 2.5 year old joins in with gobbledygook. Great stuff! And how great that the act of true love is an act between the sisters rather than the usually prince jobby!

fifi669 · 25/02/2014 21:04

Spoiler!

KatyMac · 25/02/2014 21:20

Just pre-ordered the DVD

This saving money for college thing is not really working

Love this version.

Tallalime · 25/02/2014 21:30

Oh I love it, it's my fave Disney since the little mermaid. I was going to be Ariel when I grew up

DD is mad about it. She knows all the songs - we get the reindeer duet a lot here - even worse, she is called Anna Grin

She wants to go to Norway to meet them all - I have no idea how she knows it's set in Norway, she's 6 ffs.

Buggedoff · 25/02/2014 22:20

Yes, that's exactly what I thought. We saw Wicked recently and Willemijn Verkaik was amazing as Elphaba. I think she did the German and Dutch soundtrack for Frozen, and of course Idina Menzel did the English version.
