It's more expensive in that there are more ushers and box office staff on the payroll. Shockingly they charge the same for air conditioning as a small theater. Tootsie's weekly is in the high 600's.

I just hope we one day get to see Timber's ideas or sketches or something. I'd love to have seen what he'd have done with the snow monster and whatnot.

Frozen definitely needed to keep more of the action sequences from the film, but I don’t think a fully functioning Ice Palace or Marshmallow puppet would have been on stage long enough to justify the expense. However, the reduction in action sequences has the unfortunate side effect of making Anna and Elsa look weaker than they did in the film. The fight with the wolves was where Anna was at her strongest in the first film, and the bridge scene isn’t much of a substitute...

As I understand it the breaking point was Bob Crowley.

In what way?
And yeah, there’s just not much action on stage and Elsa as a character is pretty damn boring. We def needed a big ice palace transformation to wow us.

Grandage needed to incorporate a magically appearing staircase in Let It Go, at a bare minimum. The parks version has it and its a wow moment, that i still don’t understand how was left out of the Broadway production.
