There are some varying NFT (not for trade) dates here, so please read everything carefully.
As always, my recordings are not for (re)sale and should NEVER be added to the Encora database (if you mainly host your list on Encora, you can link a Google Doc/External list with these recordings listed, that is ok).
All recordings come with some extras like pics and playbill scans.
Audios:
Frozen - First US National Tour (Ottawa, ON) - February 27, 2024 (FaceInTheMirror's master)
NFT: Except through master until May 8, 2024
Venue: Salle Southam Hall
Format: MP3 (tracked & untracked) [606MB]
Cast: Caroline Bowman (Elsa), Lauren Nicole Chapman (Anna), Emma Origenes (alt Young Anna), Savannah Lumar (alt Young Elsa), Jeremy Davis (Olaf), Dominic Dorset (Kristoff), Dan Plehaia (alt Sven), Zach Hess (u/s Hans), Jack Brewer (Oaken/Bishop), Tyler Jimenez (Pabbie), Kyle Lamar Mitchell (King Agnarr), Katie Mariko Murray (Queen Iduna), Gretel Scarlett (alt Head Handmaiden), Renée Ried (Bulda), Evan Duff (Weselton), Tony Neigdenback (s/w), Sammy Schechter (s/w), Natalie Wisdom (s/w)
Notes: Recorded from lotto orchestra seats on an external audio recorder. Much more orchestra-heavy than my other audios from this venue. I am slowly accepting the fact that Southam Hall's sound system does not like audio recorders. Little rustling, I did cheer a few times but my voice was hoarse from an allergic reaction I had earlier in the day, so your ears are saved from full cheer team voice, but not clapping over the drums claps.
Frozen - First US National Tour (Ottawa, ON) - March 1, 2024 (FaceInTheMirror's master)
NFT: Except through master until May 8, 2024
Venue: Salle Southam Hall
Format: MP3 (tracked & untracked) [586MB]
Cast: Caroline Bowman (Elsa), Lauren Nicole Chapman (Anna), Annie Piper Braverman (alt Young Anna), Erin Choi (alt Young Elsa), Jeremy Davis (Olaf), Dominic Dorset (Kristoff), Colin Baja (alt Sven), Zach Hess (u/s Hans), Jack Brewer (Oaken/Bishop), Tyler Jimenez (Pabbie), Kyle Lamar Mitchell (King Agnarr), Katie Mariko Murray (Queen Iduna), Natalie Goodin (alt Head Handmaiden), Renée Ried (Bulda), Evan Duff (Weselton), Michael Allan Haggerty (s/w), Sammy Schechter (s/w)
Notes: Recorded on an external audio recorder from the back row. Audio sounds a bit more balanced than the orchestra audio. I was near some chatty families and a little girl sang "Let It Go" during that part of the show. The mom who took her phone out at every song seemed very annoyed at any minor disturbances happening in front of us from a kid standing up to someone else filming.

Notes: Recorded on an external audio recorder, however, the music was too powerful and it blows a lot. Most of the songs are from the movies, but some were the pop versions. They kept Idina's Let It Go. Lots of noise from the audience. The show includes Mickey and Friends, Beauty and the Beast, Coco, Tangled, Cinderella, Frozen, and Moana. I did my best to track this and had some fun with it.
REDWOOD:
These are NFT until March 31, 2025
Absolutely no Idina slander, past/current/future, will be tolerated.
T/Ws: deals heavily with death and grief over losing an adult child.
General Redwood Notes (Don't need to list these are for fun):
The audience was mainly season subscribers, I got asked if I knew who "the lady on the playbill is" at both shows and very calmly explained that yes, I did in a way that would make someone feel comfortable sitting beside me for the next two hours. So don't worry I wasn't cheering using my cheer team voice because no one would have appreciated that.
The Set was mainly projections with one piece that rotated into a redwood tree trunk that the actors climbed. I was told that Idina only goes halfway up instead of through the roof like the others because the insurance for her to go halfway up made it one of the most expensive shows the playhouse has ever produced. Someone please tell Idina that when she puts a helmet on it has to cover her forehead to protect her head properly.
Show is 1 act performed without an intermission, which I think was a good choice. Manages to keep the tension for the full two hours. I feel like every character is someone I've met before. I'm curious about what they would change because it seems very solid.
Redwood - La Jolla Playhouse - February 18, 2024 (Matinee) (Preview) (FaceInTheMirror's master)
NFT: Except through master until March 31, 2025
Venue: Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre

Cast: Idina Menzel (Jesse), De'Adre Aziza (Mel), Zachary Noah Piser (Spencer/Clerk/Man in Rain/Mateo), Michael Park (Finn), Nkeki Obi-Melekwe (Becca), Kate Diaz (Voice of Trees/Stella)
Notes: Recorded on an external audio recorder and is EXTREMELY quiet for some reason. Clear, but quiet. Some rustling because I was a bit hyper at seeing Idina. I have an issue with the song titles. I've put in the metadata my suggested song titles that I think are better.

Notes: Vertical phone clips from the Tangled, Cinderella, Frozen, and Moana parts of the show. I filmed in segments and skipped some of the interludes and scenes to get more of the songs/movie content. In some parts, I was "filming" and doing zooms and such as well as watching the exposure, but for other parts, I put it on its wide setting and watched the show over the camera. The costumes were so sparkly!
