Becoming Sven in Frozen the musical

For the musical "Frozen," an actor transforms into a four-legged, hoofed and antlered scene-stealer named Sven, using a nearly 50-pound puppet so convincing that you might forget there's a person planking inside. (Lauren Frohne / The Seattle Times)

Saw Frozen today and had to Google how Sven is played. Blows my mind. Brilliant.

Just saw Frozen this weekend and it was phenomenal. Had to come see how Sven was done because it was so cool when he first came on stage, my mom and I both gasped haha

[WhiteWolfos]

That's amazing. Great movement too. Must be hard essentially just planking for hours like that.

Respect. I can't think how hot and uncomfortable it is in there, nevermind being on all fours.

I definitely wondered how the Sven costume was done when I watched the show! It blew my mind that it was only one actor inside it. Absolutely well done by the actor and the designers behind the costume!

I would have never thought I’d see Sven dancing-

This is absolutely amazing. I have such admiration for the actors who do this...it is magic.

Seeing Sven in person yesterday was even more amazing than I thought it would be! Huge kudos to the creators of the puppet and the actors who bring him to life!

When I saw the show, at the curtain call Sven came stood on his back legs, and then went into the splits. It just blew me away that the human body can do this.

absolutely incredible, stunt perforners, ballerina dancers, circus performers, Olympians all of those kinds of work are a marvel to witness!! all amazing physical feats to tell the story beautifully

This is gorgeous! Props to the actors, designers, and production team!

We saw the show opening night! Everyone was amazing, but Sven stole the show!! 😁 You guys are amazing!!

I saw this and it was amazing. The sound and lighting was probably the best part. I was even able to meet the foh engineer and see him mix live for the second half of the show.

Seeing it irl is an even crazier, more insane experience. “Don’t get killed by Sven” is my favorite thing that came out of it

[rachelverratti]

We just saw this show in Buffalo and the Sven actually caused me to hold my breath for a minute because he was so enchanting!

[summermurray]

Just saw the show and am so grateful this video explains how Sven works. Easily the coolest part of the show.

That’s extraordinary!
Thankyou to all involved for bringing all your outstanding skills and ingenuity together in bringing Sven to life for us to marvel at and enjoy!!!
He is something to remember forever!! 🥰👏

Sue, Collin, and Evan...so great and so much fun to work with y'all on the Charlotte stop on the tour! Hope to cross paths again...

Perfect costume, great movements. It looks really like a real Sven. Only the eyes are a little bit lifeless

This would get so much love at a furry convention
