Plot Point TwoĪnna is succumbing to the magic attack. Elsa resists, and she ends up striking Anna’s heart with her magic. This is a noteworthy spot because it’s when Anna meets Elsa in her ice castle. MidpointĪt 112 pages, the midpoint occurs at. Along the way, she meets Kristoff and Olaf, who join her on her journey. The song functions as the main Frozen monologue where we see Elsa kick off her character arc. Through “Let It Go,” we see Elsa finally embracing her powers and what makes her different, setting up her character arc. Plot Point OneĮlsa’s forced to flee Arendelle. Elsa refuses to bless the wedding, which causes her to lose her control, and snow and ice to fall on Arendelle. Anna falls in love with Hans, whom she agrees to marry. Years later, the castle is finally open for Coronation Day. It sets up the dynamic between our main characters to the tune of a catchy song in the form of “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” Inciting Incident Through a flashback sequence, we learn how Elsa accidentally struck Anna with her powers, Anna forgot Elsa even had powers, and Elsa was locked away. Setting up the Frozen plot requires a great deal of exposition up front. Here is the story structure for the entire script of Frozen: Exposition I honestly can’t imagine a life without him in it.STORY BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE OF FROZEN SCREENPLAY There is no way to overestimate Steve’s impact on my life and work. He suddenly noticed me, and I said “Hello!” and he burst out, “Oh, hello! You were wonderful, most of the time.” That comma, that breadth of affirmation and doubt, is what makes him so astounding, and so wonderful to sing - most of the time. How I cherished his ambivalences! Once, after the final dress rehearsal for “Do I Hear a Waltz?” Sondheim stood in front of the entire company and crew. He was simply one of our greatest teachers. Listen to it, sometimes listen more than once because the simplicity with which he expresses the most complicated human emotions - he’s able to do it in a way that once you hear it, it’s unforgettable. Walk in privacy, walk with a friend, put it on at different times in your life. Take a walk in the words and music that he left us. I always say, he gave me so much to sing about. He was like Shakespeare, and what a privilege to be able to say, “Steve, what did you mean when you wrote that?” You could get it right from the horse’s mouth.
And I’m surely not alone in that feeling. What do you say when the ocean goes away, or when a mountain disappears? Steve was that elemental and irreplaceable a part of my career and my understanding of art and life.
Which is appropriate, I guess, given that is exactly how his music always affected me.

AUDRA McDONALDĮven in a time so full of loss, this news feels like a unique punch to the heart. He was a giant, he was a genius, he was a legend, he was wickedly funny, he was wildly supportive but bluntly honest, and he was one of the wisest, toughest, most profound mentor/teachers I’ve ever known. I can’t quite process what the world (especially the theatrical world) looks like without him. I’m weirdly numb and super-emotional all at the same time. (The pop tunesmith Jack Antonoff did, too.) And, given how often Sondheim songs traded in wistfulness and melancholy, the composer’s own lyrics were used to celebrate and remember him, too.
Comparisons to Shakespeare were invoked more than once so was appreciation for his tough-love feedback to those who interpreted his songs.īecause the Pulitzer-Prize-winning composer of such beloved shows as “Sunday in the Park With George” and “Sweeney Todd” was known for his wit and wordplay, writers who stick to the page, not the stage, weighed in with admiration as well. Passionate tributes to Stephen Sondheim came quickly as the news of his death reached the theater world and beyond on Friday.
