not to mention the fact Rapunzel forgot her words.
Call me evil but I'd actually love to see that happen during a live show of something.  ;D

It was really awkward and obvious she didn't sing for like 15 seconds. No attempt to make it up or anything, I did find it amusing in a horrible way.
Perhaps she should have just mimed?  ;D

Anything would have been better than the panicked look she gave - she didn't even do the proper choreography, which was merely walking along the stage.

I have a video - I'll try upload it  ;D

I literally love this show and I'm gutted I probably won't get a chance to see it live as it closes in May which is such a shame.

I think the singing is superb, the set and the costumes all look great. It's such a fun uplifting show and it's great to have a show like this in DLP.

It definitely needs to stick around and I hope in 2017 it becomes a permanent addition to DLP

I think the idea of seasonal shows is ludicrous personally, especially when a show called Frozen Singalong is on in Summer. You would think the name Frozen would be a clue that it would be more fitting for Christmas if at all. I don't see many things frozen in Summer (well, unless you count getting frozen from our terrible British weather in the UK).

I guess we got lucky when we saw it last week--the main singers were really good and Rapunzel did not stand out as good or bad at singing---and the dancing, etc was well done--no mistakes that i noticed at all and having done a lot of community theatre we tend to pick up on them.

We all enjoyed the show---I agree it is too bad it will be so shirt lived to put Frozen back in summer.  I could see rotating between the two with Frozen from late fall through early spring and this in late spring, through the summer and into early fall.

If they really have to have Frozen Singalong, then it should be winter only IMO.

I preferred Frozen to Forests! Neither are anywhere near as good as the old shows though.

I read on another DLP-site it will return for the 25th, from February till August/September 2017.

This show is my absolute favourite: I love the songs, the perfomers, the costumes and choreography and somehow it feels like the performers have a lot of fun doing their bit on stage. Frozen is nice but it feels more like a large (even larger than the ones on the screen  ;D) video I'm watching (somehow it always feels the same, as opposed to FoE: with the changing cast I feel everytime I see it, it's different). Someone told me they liked Frozen better because it is more interactive but I don't share that opinion. I look forward to Forest returning!

I hope that's true because then I'll be able to see it during my visit next year. Forest of Enchantment, Woody and the Disappearing Nugget and Mickey and the Magician will give a nice bit of variety in entertainment.

I saw the show last week and absolutely loved it!  I'd seen some clips and I didn't have particularly high expectations but I was really pleasantly surprised.   I thought it was excellent.

I loved Forest of Enchantment. I loved the costumes, storyline, set and characters involved. The live singers were absolutely amazing and made this show at DLP very special. I managed to go and see the show live on its final weekend and it was such a treat to see this live after watching it on Youtube live. The buzz it gives you at the end was amazing.

I'm so glad I managed to get to see this live and I hope as rumours go DLP bring this back with the problems ironed out such as more needed to happen during the Brave Segment next year. It was a welcome addition to DLP entertainment this year and deserves to continue to be a stable of DLP entertainment for years to come.

They should make it a permanent show. There really needs to be one performed all year round.

I totally agree with you! This show would be prefect as a permanent show in Frontierland. It fits in beautifully. Rumours are next year it would run longer from February to September. This would tie in with Frozen returning November for xmas with october and January being changeover months.

Frozen doesn't really make sense for any point in time after Christmas anyway, so it would make sense to restrict it to November/December.
