Despite some early technical difficulties which caused the show to be stopped shortly after it began, the Broadway bound musical Frozen had its first public performance at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. And while probably biased, the fans that attended the show took to Twitter and gave the production rave reviews.
For some, words could not initially describe the experience.
Despite being used by The Walt Disney Company in nearly every way since the film has been released, it seems the audience is not tired of “Let It Go” as several said it was a highlight of the production.
Some fans answered questions about the new songs.
While this may change as the show is tweaked before its Broadway premiere, here is the list of the musical numbers that were performed at this first performance. It appears that all the songs from the original film are included at this point.
