Show: Spring Awakening
Date: 10/11/09
Cast: Jake Epstein (Melchior), Taylor Trensch (Moritz), Christy Altomare (Wendla), Steffi D (Ilse), Sarah Hunt (Martha), Andy Mientus (Hanschen), Ben Fankhauser (Ernst), Matt Shingledecker (Georg), Kimiko Glenn (Thea), Gabrielle Garza (Anna), Anthony Lee Medina (Otto), John Wojda (Adult Men), Angela Reed (Adult Women), Krystina Alabado, Justin Scott Brown, Lucas A Wells, Kayla Foster (Ensemble)
Jake was pretty good. Taylor was refreshingly normal. Christy was inconsistent. Sometimes she hit a really nice not and then she'd hit a not so great note. Ben F was better than Ben M but not very impressive. And everyone else was pretty much ignorable.

Christy was alright in Mama Who Bore Me, weaker in Mama Who Bore Me Reprise. I kind of like the new adult man's voice. It works. I also like Lucas's voice. It's softer than Jake's and quite nice. I really really liked his All That's Known. Taylor sounds great in Bitch of Living, so does Justin. Taylor sounds much better than Blake, and Justin sounded better than Matt. In all it was rocking. Lucas sounded aweesome at the end. Taylor's tone is really good even just speaking. I kind of find Kimiko's Thea irritating. Still don't like Gabby's Anna. Not a huge fan of Sarah's singing in My Junk. Actually, all of the girls are kind of weak in My Junk and that scene. Not a big fan of Andy in My Junk (haven't I said this before) but Justin sounded good. Lucas was quite strong in the "shame" part, and when Taylor came in my first reaction was "OMG, Blake doesn't sound so whiny!" And then I realized it was Taylor and that made sense.
Lucas was great, as was Taylor. Ben F. was alright, so was Anthony. But wow, Justin killed Matt Shingledecker in this song. Now THOSE were some decent riffs.
Word of Your Body wasn't too bad, Lucas sounded nice and I could actually hear him.
Taylor's "passed" dance was really cute. He sounded all thunderously happy.
Dark I Know Well and that scene was fine.
Christy squeels more in the beating scene than I'm used to.
Some stuff....
Taylor very much impressed in DDS.
Steffi was weak in Blue Wind.
Andy was better in WOYBR than usual.
I would comment on Ben F's WOYBR, but at this time Vivian and I were discussing Matt Doyle's hotness and I sort of missed that part of the song.
I think for once there was an even matched TYK. Every one sounded good.
Song of Purple Summer wasn't terrible, but it could have been better.
