Show: Hair
Date: 3/14/10 PI DAYYYY!
Cast: Kyle Riabko, Ace Young, Diana DeGarmo, Annaleigh Ashford, Josh Lamon, Rachel Bay Jones, Briana Carlson Goodman, Jeannette Bayardelle
Still not 100% about this cast. Ace is just not quite fitting. Kyle is pretty decentish. Jeannette was a fierce Dionne. I hardly even missed Sasha. Diana, I was iffy about. Maybe I shouldn’t have listened to this right after Addams Family because I thought Josh’s Maggie sounded like a younger version of Jackie’s Grandma. And omg, Rachel’s Buddhalirama sounded just like Grandma. And I’m still on the fence with Annaleigh. I feel like she’s pushing too hard. Trying to sing Air a little bit like Kacie. My biggest problem was sometimes in Air it didn’t even sound like she was singing, it only sounded like acting.

Day 122-3/21/10
Show: Kerrigan and Lowdermilk: Under the Influence
Date: 3/1/10
Cast: Kait Kerrigan and Brian Lowdermilk with guests: Annaleigh Ashford, Jenni Barber, Nick Blaemire, Lisa Brescia, Matt Doyle, Meghann Fahy, Jay Armstrong Johnson, Morgan Karr, Celia Keenan-Bolger, Caissie Levy, Kacie Shiek, Vienna Teng, Katie Thompson and The Spring Standards

I feel bad because I fell asleep during this. Haha. But I actually liked quite a bit of it. Freedom was really good. I just like the way that it sets such a positive opening. Last Week’s Alcohol was a lot deeper than they were at the other concert. But I think he also enunciated better. I understood a lot more words than I did the other time. I really liked Celia’s My Party Dress. It was just really cute and fun. I’m definitely going to mention it at dance, because she mentions a lot of dance moves and other fun stuff like that. The introduction to Two Strangers was definitely funny. “This is really supposed to be for a girl. But then we met Morgan Karr” That’s another thing I want to bring up at dance because there’s this girl that thinks that nobody and certainly no boy could go as high as Kristen Chenoweth and I’m going to be like “Morgan. Freaking. Karr”

So I was kind of expecting to hate Kyle. I didn’t hate him. But I wasn’t absolutely in love. He’s really got potential and good characterization. Ace I was very iffy on. Berger is always annoying and crazy and all over the place and too much, but this might have been too too much. One thing I thought was cool was how they sing “transcendental meditation of the ocean of reality is love” rather than just speaking it. I’m torn on Annaleigh’s Jeanie. I think a piece of me loves her so that I wanted to love it, but I also read bad reviews so I was prepared to hate it. I’m a little neutral. I wish she had played it a little more naturally, it seemed like she was trying to hard at some parts. Diana was really interesting. She needs to tone it down just a little bit. But her singing was interesting. It was like a combination of all other Sheilas. I think I liked the new Woof. But wow, the new Hud was fine, but I missed Darius so much. Like seriously, he may be the one I missed the most. As weird as this may sound, I wasn’t quite as impressed with Josh’s Maggie as I have been. Maybe I wasn’t focused enough because he wasn’t an understudy this time, but it seemed a little more like Andrew’s; less connected.

Show: Legally Blonde

This will be brief: Annaleigh is sooooo good! What a beautiful voice, and her speaking quite reminded me of Reese. I loved it, she was awesome. Hearing her here, I can here a trace of Glinda-ness.

Day 10-11/29/09
Show: Legally Blonde
Date: 2/24/07 (I think, by deductive reasoning)
Type: Video
Cast: Laura Bell Bundy, Richard Blake, Christian Borle, Orfeh, Kate Shindle, Annaleigh Ashford, Nikki Snelson
I think this show is/was really cute. I like the way it spun the movie a little for the music, and I think the songs were created so well to work. I think Laura Bell Bundy is real cute and definitely adds a lot of perk and spunk to the character, although I did like how in the movie despite being blonde Reese could make Elle actually take herself seriously. I think Richard Blake almost looks exactly how Warner did in the movie, and pretty good voice. Christian Borle is also really good, I like how he looks a little nerdier than Luke Wilson. Orfeh has a good voice, but I'm not in love with her Paulette. Definitely like Vivienne. I thought she looked a little prettier than in the movie, and it's definitely wonderful. The entire sorority was really cute and great.
I think this was Pre-Broadway, because Positive isn't included. I'm not even sure what that song is that they're singing, but my god, Positive is so much better. I also thought some of the songs seemed to be lacking energy, this could be because I'm watching at midnight but also it could be because it is lacking energy. So Much Better was awesome, like so cute! Whipped Into Shape was nice, but I liked the Ali Larter Brooke so much more, because she kind of had a little bit of a fear factor. Take It Like A Man is cute and funny, and she has really nice voice. The "I see dead people" before the Bend and Snap was hillllarrriiooous. the Bend and Snap was a hilarious scene in the movie and it translated soo well, so funny! I didn't like Legally Blonde, because I think it's so stupid that they made a song from the title and it's too ballady. But I did really love the Legally Blonde Remix and Ireland Reprise. Hate that they went back to the "scene of the crime" because that would just NEVER happen.
The ending was great, though.
I liked it and it'll be interesting to watch or listen again with understudies and such!
