WHAT IS IT LIKE TO TAKE THIS
BELOVED MOVIE CHARACTER AND

IS SO MANY PEOPLE WHILE FROZEN

PEOPLE COME IN THERE IS THIS
ANTICIPATION AND ENERGY.
WHEN THAT A COMES PEOPLE ARE
APPLAUDING.
APPLAUDING. SVEN COMES OUT AND PEOPLE ARE
EXCITED.
EXCITED.
EXCITED. IT'S COOL TO BRING THESE
CHARACTERS TO LIFE IN A WAY
THAT IS TRUE TO ME AND THE REST
OF THE PAST THAT WE GET TO BE
OUR OWN LEADING CELLS BECAUSE
WHO WE ARE FIXED THE ESSENCE OF
THEM AND IT'S A JOY GETTING TO
PLAY OUR OWN SELVES AND THE
CHARACTERS AS WELL.
>> ONE OF THE UNIQUE THINGS IS
THE SIMILARITIES AND
DIFFERENCES, LET IT GO AND THE
CAST IS MORE DIVERSE AND THE
SET ASSIGNED IS AMAZING AS
WELL.

OF PLAYING KRISTOFF EVERY
NIGHT.

NIGHT. >>
NIGHT. >> HE STARTS OFF IN A CLOSED
OUT SPACE.
OUT SPACE. HE DOES NOT HAVE A LOT OF HUMAN
INTERACTION IN THE GETS TO FALL
IN LOVE WITH ANNA WHICH IS
SUPER REWARDING BUT IT'S ALSO
LIKE YOU LIVE LIFE AND I'VE
BEEN DOING THIS FOR FOUR
MONTHS.
MONTHS.
MONTHS. SOMETIMES THINGS IN YOUR LIFE
GO WRONG AND YOU DON'T WANT TO
SING ABOUT LOVE.
SO I WOULD SAY EMOTIONALLY IT'S
THE HARDEST THING GETTING UP TO
IT AND JUST LIKE OH, MAN I JUST
HAD THE ROUGHEST DAY AND NOW I
WILL SING ABOUT LOVE.
WE CAN DO IT AND MAKE IT
HAPPEN.
HAPPEN.
HAPPEN. THAT'S THE MOST DIFFICULT PART.
>> WHAT ABOUT, YOU JUST SAID
ABOUT LIFE, ARE YOU ENJOYING
YOUR LIFE IN SEATTLE DURING
THIS TIME.
THIS TIME. >> OH, YES.
I LOVE THIS CITY.
I CALLED MY DAD THE SECOND DAY
I WAS HERE AND I SAID I WAS
READY TO LIVE HERE.
>> I LOVE THE WATER.
AND FROM ARIZONA AND WE ARE
STAYING ARIZONA AND I LOVE
SEEING THE LOCKS AND THE PEOPLE
HERE BECAUSE IT IS SO GREAT FOR
SOME PARTS OF THE YEAR I FEEL
LIKE WHEN IT'S A GOOD DAY THERE
ARE A LOT OF WAYS TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF IT AND IT SEEMS
LIKE THE ARCHITECTURE IS BUILT
THE WAY TO REFLECT LIGHT AND IT
FEELS BUOYANT. I HEARD JANUARY
IT WAS ROUGH BUT IT'S BEEN NICE
SINCE WE'VE BEEN HERE.
>> WELCOME BACK IN JULY.
WE KNOW YOU ARE ON TOUR.
