Never going to "let it go!!!"

I bought tickets for us to watch Frozen the Musical more than 6 months ago and the day of the show finally arrived! TBH the girls weren't really that excited about it and Nora even seemed to have forgotten Frozen because she asked whether or not it's scary. We had to remind her that she's seen the movie a gazillion times and knows all the songs, but she didn't seem convinced.

I picked the girls up early and we trekked into downtown, picked up Scott, and then parked the car and gave ourselves 2 hours to grab dinner before the show. There's a Cheesecake Factory 2 blocks from the theater and since it was early (5:30) and the girls have never been, we decided to put our name and wait for a seat. We waited and waited... and waited ... for close to an hour! I was trying to convince Evie to cut bait and go to a different restaurant but she convinced me to stay. Good thing we did because the girls loved the cherry chocolate cheesecake we had for dessert!

We skidaddled to the show and made it just in time. It was super strange that there were a good 10 rows in front of us that were completely empty. The tickets were not cheap (hence why we got tix for a Wednesday!) so I think that could explain some of the empty seats but not all of them. There must have been some weird mishap or some gigantic group did not show up? Anyway, it was great for us because we had no one blocking our view.

The show itself was mostly good. The leads were terrific and the sets were amazing. They fleshed out the characters with new songs that worked most of the time. The weakest part easily was the trolls and the parents - terrible acting and strange songs. They made the trolls into weird forest people with tails and almost a Jamaican accent and vibe so the reggae-ish music just really did not fit with the rest of the show!

The girls didn't notice any of that though. They were fascinated by the special effects, which I have to admit was pretty neat. The first half ended with Let It Go (of course) and before the lights even came on, Evie whipped her head my way and exclaimed "how did they do that???" about Elsa's costume change. And at the end of the show, Nora was on my lap and told me, unprompted, "I really liked that. Can we watch it again?". So, all-in-all, it was a good night!
