    I saw on the Frozen website that they have two actors alternate the part. That’s when I knew that this must be the most physically demanding role imaginable, if they’re hiring two male dancers to play him on alternate nights.

    For roughly the first year or so, Andrew played Sven 6 shows a week and Adam 2 (the matinees), but I'm glad they now do an even split because it is such a demanding role, and I think it's lovely that they get equal the shows now :)

    According to this Playbill article, he was originally auditioning for another part in the show (I don’t know which) and the casting team said they’d like to see him for Sven. I don’t know what the audition process was like after that, or what made the casting director decide that he was a good candidate for the reindeer part. www.playbill.com/article/how-frozen-actor-andrew-pirozzi-stays-fit-enough-to-play-a-reindeer

    Alyssa's Theatre Vlog they might have had a costume present that wasn't the actual one but just a sort of base that they'd be able to use. If they didn't then idk maybe they really were like "get on the floor and act like a reindeer please"

    This looks as though it requires a great deal of discipline. I love to see videos like this that delve into the rigors of performance that many people don’t often see, or appreciate. One thing I don’t understand is why he gets dressed first to exercise (and get pretty sweaty) before performing, why not exercise first then shower/change into his wardrobe? I can’t imagine that would be an easy costume to clean.
