I wasn't a fan of all of the songs, but those two have gorgeous voices. I've never realized that Kacie's speaking voice was so pretty. One thing that bothered me was that the person who tracked this titled a song as "Teenage Wasteland." What song is that? I only know a Baba O'Reiley

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”

I'm really loving Paris's Claude. His speaking voice is really really nice. Also Ryan's Woof was great. There wasn't anything super special he seemed to do, and he has a normal voice but he made it all work really nicely. I know that Katie's Crissy isn't that popular because Frank Mills just doesn't sound right for her voice, but I thought it was really pretty. At some parts it was a little weaker and you could hear the strain, but a lot sounded pretty, like a lullaby.
Also I kind of wonder who said "Tonto say white man die" because someone told me that Jay once did it kind of like a robot, and it sounded a little robotic here.

Date: 10/17/09
Cast: Krystal Joy Brown as Dionne
Type: Audio
Krystal was a great Dionne, sweeter voice than Sasha. The whole show was awesome, and everything I could say would be reiterating last time and the time before. Black Boys was fierce, 3500 was crazy good, Let the Sun Shine In was emotional as hell. I slept from the middle of Walking in Space until Roll Call. So I missed Abie Baby so I don't know how Krystal's understudy did.
This was my first time hearing Vanessa Ray as Crissy and it was awesome, she sounds so sweet and out of all the Crissy's I've heard she has the most power. What I mean is she sings strongest even on the high notes she doesn't go weak.
Hmm. I think I'm done.

I love this video! I love this show! The cast is amazing, they all have such great chemistry. Gavin is totally amazing vocally, and that kind of makes you forget how he's like 15 years older than the character. I'd say the song I thought he was the best in was Flesh Failures. In some recordings that have been more recent I thought his voice sounds not quite as good, but here it is SO good. Will's acting is amazing, especially his opening scene with the audience, he's so good at getting the audience to connect. His voice is great in the songs, but it almost seems less important than the acting the way he does it. I must say, I don't like the character of Berger all too much. His personality is fine in the first act, with the exception of the Easy to Be Hard scene. But in Act 2, it just seems like too much. Sasha Allen's voice is absolutely killer, but I don't feel like she really get's any of a chance to act. It's like a line here or there, but mostly you just get her singing. Allison Case is as cute as you may have heard, but she's not amazing. I find her voice to be quite nice, but her acting and facial expressions sometimes seem a little off-a little too much-not quite there. Katie Kiyan, on the other hand gets it right in her track. (I saw her as Crissy, which was a little too toned-down for my liking) Katie's great with her expressions, I absolutely loved her line in Walking in Space, and her line in the trip sequence was excellent. Kober is, well, Koberrific. I mean really, he's just great. I can't say he's terribly noticeable as Lancaster on my tiny ipod screen, but he's hilarious as the dad and Margaret Mead. It's really amusing to see him in the I Got Life scene, trying to be Gavin's dad. Megan Lawrence as the mom is hilarious, but as Buddhawhatever is just good. I love how Megan's mom voice is, you can definitely see a mom having that kind of voice. But I liked Allison Guinn's Buddhawhatever when I saw her more, not that Megan's isn't good just Allison did this crazy creepy head movement and it's hilarious. So Darius is pretty much amazing, he just has a great voice and really good stage-presence, which brings us to Caissie, also amazing. Caissie is completely believable as Sheila, like I actually feel bad for her at some times. She makes you want to be on her side, even if you're not. And she has this very strong voice, yet she fits into the choruses so well. I find Bryce Ryness playing Woof so interesting because Woof is supposed to be small, young and innocent. But I love how Bryce works what he's got. He's quite tall, and when he stands on stage he stands out quite a bit. He doesn't have to work for your attention when it's time to notice him. His Mick Jagger scene is totally hilarious "OFF OF MY LOVE!" Kacie Sheik is absolutely incredible. Whoever made the Broadway Secret awhile back about how she looks like Taylor Swift should be shot. Kacie blows Taylor, actually almost every blonde out of the water. Her voice is impossibly gorgeous. If you ever try to sing along with her you will fail miserably, because it's so hard to compare. Her acting is so wonderful. Almost everything she says is upbeat and charming, especially her scene after Air. I played that scene a few times because I honestly was so taken by it. You may hear/have heard people say that it's impossible to take your eyes off of Allison. I agree, if you substitute Jackie for Allison. Jackie really commands your attention, even on my little screen. Partly because, she's absolutely gorgeous. Also because she has this look, it's not an expression per se. Just a really fierce look, that you're interested. The group numbers are really the best in this show, not to say that the solos aren't good too of course. I'd say the absolute best would be 3-5-0-0. This is also the number that I found Allison to be truly great in. The whole cast is in a line at the front of the stage, but she's moving so much in her spot. She offers so much energy that the song has. Hair is such a wonderful song, but the effect is really dimished because the filmer has to hide the camera when the cast came into the audience. I know many people talk about how much they cry, but I can't seem to muster up tears when watching this. And I couldn't seem to cry when I saw it live either. I think the main reason for this is that the 2nd act is quite confusing and it's hard to comprehend, process, and cry. At the very least, the emotion exuted by the cast helps you feel it too.
