Type: Audio

There are some songs that I absolutely loved, and then there are some that I didn’t care for. I loved Cathedrals, A Change is Gonna Come, Hey Jude, With A Little Help From My Friends, You and I Both, I Want to Hold Your Hand, Semi-Charmed Life, and Unexpectedly. Also some of the audition songs. There were others that I didn’t like as much.

Day 94-2/21/10

Show: Matt Doyle at Joe's Pub
Date: 8/27/09
Cast: Matt Doyle, Lilli Cooper, Blake Daniel, Alice Lee

I love it. Always. Matt is such a beautiful singer. Golden Train is perfect and so is Falling Slowly. He picked songs that played to the voices so well. I'm not in love with Bring it On Home. I liked it more with Jodie Moore.
Matt's big problem is that he does a lot of the same songs. He needs to shake it up. Get out of his comfort zone. I'm now trying to brainstorm songs for him....I Got Life, Blackbird, Good Girls Go Bad (Although he might want to change it to Good Boys) I don't know. After seeing Koberet I thought to myself that I'd love to see Matt play around like that.

Day 80-2/7/10

Show: Spring Awakening
Date: 11/29/08 M
Cast: Alice as Wendla, Zach as Ernst, Eryn as Martha
Type: Audio :(

I know I listened to the audio from the evening already but I needed to find a show and I randomly clicked this one. Alice is absolutely gorgeous, I wasn't totally in love with Zach and Eryn was super haunting and beautiful. Hunter was weak, Matt was gorgeous.

Alice: What a beautiful voice. I found her Wendla to be quite like Phoebe's, especially in songs. But she has this very wonderful even voice. She doesn't get squeally when talking like many other Wendlas do. She sounded good in MWBMR, everyone blended nicely. Her TGO may be one of my favorites, as well as her Whispering, and she was very strong in TYK. Across the board; very strong and great to hear. I wish she could have gone on with Matt as Melchior, they sound so good together.
Hunter: Meh across the board. His acting isn't much more than fine for me, and his singing is just not good. Some songs he's decent in; All That's Known, Totally Fucked. Some songs he doesn't destroy everyone else in; Touch Me, Those You've Known. And some songs he's just terribly weak in; Mirror Blue Night and Left Behind. Mirror Blue Night was really not easy on the ears, he cracked pretty badly.
Gerard: Wonderful. He brings so much to Moritz and makes everything just wonderful.
Emma: Decent. Once I said she sounded too "sexy" or something, I didn't hear that quite as much this time.
Eryn: Alright. I think her Martha is one of the weaker roles she does, but Dark I Know Well was pretty good and she and Emma fit together well.
Caitlin: Softer than usual. Didn't sound quite as forced in My Junk as I've thought before.
Emily: Cute as usual, very cute, very sweet.
Zach: Great to hear. I like the pitch of his voice very much, and he sounded great with Matt.
Matt: Awesome as per usual. Just great. Always fun in his scenes and irresistable in songs.
Andrew: My favorite thing was is Touch Me solo, pre riffs. The riffs were fine, but the normal part that he does after Otto was really nice.
Gabe: Didn't really notice him much, but he was fine.
