1
00:00:03,107 --> 00:00:04,108
Hey, guys!

2
00:00:04,191 --> 00:00:06,152
-This is their first Broadway show.
-[gasps]

3
00:00:06,235 --> 00:00:08,779
That makes me so happy.
I still remember my first Broadway show.

4
00:00:08,863 --> 00:00:11,574
[woman] I was introduced to Broadway
at, I think, six years old.

5
00:00:11,657 --> 00:00:14,952
And so, I love knowing that so many people

6
00:00:15,036 --> 00:00:17,288
are gonna experience this
as their first show.

7
00:00:17,371 --> 00:00:20,499
Children, many adults, this is the first
Broadway show that they've ever seen.

8
00:00:21,042 --> 00:00:25,629
And I like knowing that I had a small part
in what will hopefully be

9
00:00:25,713 --> 00:00:28,215
their ongoing relationship
with Disney on Broadway.

10
00:00:28,758 --> 00:00:33,429
My name is Patti Murin, and I play Anna
in the Broadway production of Frozen.

11
00:00:47,026 --> 00:00:49,862
Many people think that being
in a Broadway show is just doing your show

12
00:00:49,945 --> 00:00:52,656
and going home, but that is definitely
not the case. [chuckles]

13
00:00:53,866 --> 00:00:57,745
It is an extremely full-time job.
More than full-time.

14
00:00:57,828 --> 00:01:01,082
'Cause right now it is 5:33
for a 7:00 show.

15
00:01:01,165 --> 00:01:03,751
And this is kind of when I sit down
and start to do my makeup

16
00:01:03,834 --> 00:01:06,712
'cause it would normally take me, like,
I don't know, nine minutes to do,

17
00:01:06,796 --> 00:01:09,715
but I get very distracted
by all the people coming in and out.

18
00:01:09,799 --> 00:01:12,927
So, it takes me a little bit longer.
[chuckles]

19
00:01:13,010 --> 00:01:15,513
The girls who play Young Anna
and Young Elsa,

20
00:01:15,596 --> 00:01:16,680
there's four of them total,

21
00:01:16,764 --> 00:01:18,808
they'll come in, and they'll stop in
for what we call Patti talk.

22
00:01:18,891 --> 00:01:20,059
Hey, little peanuts!

23
00:01:20,142 --> 00:01:22,728
-♪ Patti, Patti, Patti ♪
-♪ Patti, Patti, Patti ♪

24
00:01:22,812 --> 00:01:23,813
-♪ Talk ♪
-♪ Talk ♪

25
00:01:23,896 --> 00:01:25,898
Nice! That was maybe the best one
you've ever done!

26
00:01:25,981 --> 00:01:27,316
-Thanks.
-How's it going, little ones?

27
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,193
-Guys, guess what my mom sent me.
-[girl #1] What?

28
00:01:29,276 --> 00:01:30,277
-[girl #2] What?
-[girl #3] What?

29
00:01:30,361 --> 00:01:31,570
-This?
-Prom photos.

30
00:01:31,654 --> 00:01:33,823
-[girl #3] Yay!
-[girl #2] Yes, yes, yes!

31
00:01:35,324 --> 00:01:37,243
[Patti] Check my, no--
My hair's ridiculous.

32
00:01:37,326 --> 00:01:39,537
It's just, yeah, see there's
the full length. Just, you know.

33
00:01:39,620 --> 00:01:41,914
-[girl #3] You look amazing!
-[girl #4] You look so pretty!

34
00:01:41,997 --> 00:01:42,998
[laughing]

35
00:01:43,082 --> 00:01:47,420
-[girl #1] Yes!
-My dream is to be Patti!

36
00:01:47,503 --> 00:01:48,921
[Patti laughs]

37
00:01:49,004 --> 00:01:51,340
I'm always kind of nervous
before the show,

38
00:01:51,424 --> 00:01:55,094
but once I get through act one, I'm like,
"I'm not nervous anymore." And yeah.

39
00:01:55,177 --> 00:01:57,680
-I used to, but not anymore.
-The first show I got really nervous.

40
00:01:57,763 --> 00:02:00,474
After the first performance,
it's just all excitement.

41
00:02:00,558 --> 00:02:03,936
And I love when I'm taking off my wig cap,

42
00:02:04,019 --> 00:02:05,855
and I find a piece of snow in my hair.

43
00:02:05,938 --> 00:02:07,440
Aw. That's really cute.

44
00:02:07,523 --> 00:02:09,567
Sometimes
I'll find a piece of glitter in my shoe.

45
00:02:09,650 --> 00:02:11,861
Or, like, inside my sock.
I don't even know how it gets there.

46
00:02:11,944 --> 00:02:15,781
I know! How does it get underneath
my wig cap and through my wig?

47
00:02:15,865 --> 00:02:17,283
-I have no idea.
-[Mimi] Disney magic.

48
00:02:17,366 --> 00:02:19,785
Disney magic is the best magic.

49
00:02:19,869 --> 00:02:21,245
-[Patti] Yep.
-[Winter] Yeah.

50
00:02:21,996 --> 00:02:23,664
-[Charlie] Thank you!
-[Winter, Mimi] Bye.

51
00:02:23,748 --> 00:02:24,790
[Patti] Thanks, friends.

52
00:02:24,874 --> 00:02:28,169
[Patti] Then I get my wig put on
by our wig supervisor, Ty.

53
00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:35,676
So, throughout the show, we change
her into varying degrees of freezing.

54
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,970
It takes a total of ten pieces,

55
00:02:38,679 --> 00:02:42,016
eight full wigs and two trick pieces.

56
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,602
[Patti] Definitely the most wigs
I've ever had in any show.

57
00:02:50,358 --> 00:02:54,195
And then right at places I go upstairs
to see Caissie Levy who plays Elsa.

58
00:02:59,158 --> 00:03:00,284
-Hi!
-[chuckles]

59
00:03:00,368 --> 00:03:02,161
[Patti] Usually I stretch with Caissie
a little bit too,

60
00:03:02,244 --> 00:03:04,455
so that's when I get
more physical warm-up in.

61
00:03:04,538 --> 00:03:06,624
-There it is. How was your afternoon?
-[Patti] It was okay.

62
00:03:06,707 --> 00:03:09,251
-It is easy, you know.
-[Caissie] Good.

63
00:03:09,335 --> 00:03:14,840
[singing vocal warm-ups]

64
00:03:15,341 --> 00:03:20,846
[singing vocal warm-ups together]

65
00:03:20,930 --> 00:03:23,682
-We still don't know these words.
-Yeah, we still don't know these lyrics.

66
00:03:27,978 --> 00:03:30,773
[Patti] It's kind of surreal
to be a part of the Disney family.

67
00:03:30,856 --> 00:03:32,108
Especially Disney on Broadway

68
00:03:32,191 --> 00:03:36,195
because growing up a Broadway superfan
and a Disney superfan,

69
00:03:36,278 --> 00:03:37,947
it's literally, like, there couldn't be

70
00:03:38,030 --> 00:03:39,949
a better possible combination for me,
personally.

71
00:03:40,032 --> 00:03:43,494
I never outgrew Disney, you know?
I just kept loving it more.

72
00:03:44,245 --> 00:03:45,871
Bye-bye! [chuckles]

73
00:03:46,831 --> 00:03:51,836
[singing "Love is an Open Door"]

74
00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:54,422
[Patti] Becoming Anna every day
is, like, truly amazing

75
00:03:54,505 --> 00:03:57,049
because she has so much energy
and so much hope

76
00:03:57,133 --> 00:04:00,803
for someone who has been
essentially alone her entire life.

77
00:04:01,637 --> 00:04:03,889
So, to be able to inhabit her

78
00:04:03,973 --> 00:04:07,893
and go through her literal journey,
physically, emotionally,

79
00:04:07,977 --> 00:04:09,770
I feel like I still--
I'm still finding new things

80
00:04:09,854 --> 00:04:11,939
every single-- every single time I do it.

81
00:04:12,023 --> 00:04:13,024
[cheers, applause]

82
00:04:13,107 --> 00:04:16,068
I always say it's a minor miracle, um,
every time we get through a show

83
00:04:16,152 --> 00:04:18,362
because it involves so many people
and so much coordination.

84
00:04:18,446 --> 00:04:21,323
And even though it's like, you know,
a pretty well-oiled machine at this point,

85
00:04:21,407 --> 00:04:23,200
it's still, it's such a big show.

86
00:04:23,284 --> 00:04:26,662
[cheers, applause]

87
00:04:26,746 --> 00:04:28,372
And even though it goes fast,

88
00:04:28,456 --> 00:04:31,000
you sit down at the end
and you're like, "How did I do that?"

89
00:04:31,083 --> 00:04:32,460
[chuckles]

90
00:04:32,543 --> 00:04:35,379
I like knowing that, you know,
it's truly a team effort.

91
00:04:38,632 --> 00:04:40,342
Signing autographs is-- is pretty great,

92
00:04:40,426 --> 00:04:43,304
because you, then you really get to see
the entire spectrum of the people

93
00:04:43,387 --> 00:04:46,057
who have come to see a show from,
of course, the little kids and stuff,

94
00:04:46,140 --> 00:04:49,268
but you can see, right now, a lot of
groups who've just graduated from college

95
00:04:49,351 --> 00:04:52,772
or, you know,
we've had a lot of 50th birthday parties

96
00:04:52,855 --> 00:04:54,273
where women will come with their friends,

97
00:04:54,357 --> 00:04:56,150
and they'll come see Frozen
as part of their weekend,

98
00:04:56,233 --> 00:04:58,361
and everyone will come to see the show.

99
00:04:58,444 --> 00:05:01,322
I really like doing it
because it is a chance to, sort of, like,

100
00:05:01,405 --> 00:05:03,741
look at the people
that you just told this story to

101
00:05:03,824 --> 00:05:07,578
and to just say, "Thank you for coming,
and thank you for supporting it."

102
00:05:08,621 --> 00:05:11,832
There's still nights where you just,
you know, you have that moment of,

103
00:05:11,916 --> 00:05:14,168
"I'm playing Anna in Frozen on Broadway."

104
00:05:14,251 --> 00:05:17,546
And then you're like,
"That's really cool." [chuckles]
