A FROZEN SONG FULL
Co-songwriters of Frozen, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, publicly commented that they regretted not giving the Broadway actor a full song in the movie, but that Kristoff's characterization didn't allow for it. Kristoff singing "Reindeers Are Better Than People" in Frozen was a delightfully light moment in the film, but some viewers felt the scene failed to adequately utilize Jonathan Groff's voice - after all, even the talking snowman Olaf got a full-length song. Reviewers and fans felt that "Reindeers Are Better Than People" was shoehorned into the film as an excuse for him sing, but only caused more frustration by teasing the sky-high potential of a legitimate song for Kristoff. While each of these performers had a featured song in Frozen, Groff was left with a short ditty titled "Reindeers Are Better Than People." After Frozen, and Groff's Tony-nominated role as King George in Hamilton, fans were hotly anticipating a song of his own in Frozen 2. Frozen had a cast of vocal powerhouses, including Idina Menzel ( Wicked, Rent), Josh Gad ( The Book of Mormon), and Santino Fontana ( Crazy Ex-Girlfriend). The best song in Frozen 2was the result of a minor controversy stirred up by the original movie's songs - specifically, which characters did, and did not, get big showstopper numbers.
