Perhaps the initial three shows coroborate with only one cast being 'ready'. Hopefully it will shift to the ?5 that Alladin used to run.
That is correct, according to what I hear from my rebel spies. Specifically, people working on the show report that only one of three casts is on-stage. The other two have been in the rehearsal halls and will only start overnight rehearsals in the theater in a week or two. Tonight, the media preview show made it through without stops. I got this from a cast member who was in the audience. Wednesday night, the preview for Disney management and salaried cast had four stops in the show.
Aladdin typically had two casts per day. It's going to take some weeks before Frozen gets up to a full schedule. And possibly every show without stops. But everyone I have talked to says it is potentially pretty incredible. Shout-outs to tonight's Elsa, the Olaf puppet and performer, the trolls, Elsa's on-stage costume transformation, and the Staircase.
I'm burnt out on Frozen mania, even though I enjoyed the movie. But I'm looking forward to seeing this production. YMMV.
NB: No Bothans were harmed in acquiring these secret plans.
