Others added: ‘One of the best rendition of this song I’ve ever heard….absolutely amazing….goosebumps’;
‘I did not know you could sing!! Oh my days, what a talent!’; ‘What a man!!! You can do anything you set your mind to. Always been a massive fan of you, even more so as you get older (and me) x.’
Will recently hit out at the decision to have actors of different ethnicity play the same character in Frozen the Musical, saying it ‘confused the whole audience’.
The production has been slammed after audiences saw characters change race midway through the show.
During its three-year West End run, the role of Young Elsa was played by black child actors Minaii Barrowes and Sasha Watson-Lobo at different times, with the character later transforming into adult Elsa, portrayed by white actress Samantha Barks, 34.
Young Anna was played by black actress Asanda Masike as well as Asian actor Kanon Narumi before the character was portrayed as an adult by white actress Stephanie McKeon, 37.
Speaking on his Two Pints with Will & Ralf podcast, Will said: ‘People might get uncomfortable with what I’m going to say here because of the subject matter.
‘I’m allowed to say it. I went to the Frozen premiere with my daughter when she was really little. When it came round (the stage musical) she was a bit older, she was 13, 14.’

He continued: ‘Show starts, and you’ve got Anna and Elsa, the sisters, walk out on stage, one’s white, one’s black.
‘Straight away the kids are going “Who’s that, who’s that?” So straight away “Ok, that’s what we’re going with, that’s fine”.
‘It’s like “that’s what you can do nowadays, it doesn’t have to be the same as the film.”
‘The problem I had with it is at the second half, when they’ve grown up, they come out and they’re both white. So one of them’s changed colour.
‘And all the kids are going ‘Who’s that?’ And I went “f*ck knows”. If you’re going to go with it, stick with it.
He continued: ‘You can’t have them change colour, so when you get to 12 you turn white if you’re black.
‘I just think it confused the whole audience, and for the rest of the show that was the talking point. It was so distracting, my daughter was just like ‘But hang on’.
‘Nowadays obviously, playing a character, whatever colour you are, race you are, whatever it is on a film, they can change that.
‘That’s just the way it can be done – and fair enough. I just think I draw the line at people changing colour mid-show. That was proper confusing.’
