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.

Day 53-1/11/10

Show: Spring Awakening
Date: 1/11/09
Cast: Eryn as Wendla (last), Matt as Melchior (last on Broadway), Jesse as Hanschen
Type: Audio :'(

Call me the genius who forgot to sync her ipod. I have a much better quality version of this, but of course the only one that I had on my ipod was the more muffled version with clicking in the right ear. Very irritating. I think I'll chop of my right ear soon.
Mama Who Bore Me was quite lovely and beautiful. Very unusually, there was applause after it and usually there is not!
The stork scene wasn't a huge stand-out. Decent, but I never really love that scene.
Mama Who Bore Me Reprise was pretty fierce.
All That's Known was totally wonderful, oh that voice is so wonderful to hear.
Bitch of Living was awesome and totally bringing the energy. And it got an amazingly huge applause.
Matt and Gerard work so well together, it's fun to listen to.
Caitlin was not fun to listen to when talking with the girls. Eryn was quite good, probably better than I've found Socha to be a lot.
Jesse sounded almost like he was trying to be like Matt in My Junk. I just wasn't into him so much, his singing fell short and everything.
All of Matt and Eryn's scenes sounded really good and natural, she has this naturally high voice and he has a naturally soft voice, but they are both normal so it works.
This was just a wonderful show, many people who were there say that it's been one of the best performances ever.

Day 37-12/26/09

Show: Spring Awakening
Date: 11/29/08
Cast: Hunter Parrish (Melchior), Alice Lee (u/s Wendla), Gerard Canonico (Moritz) Emma Hunton (Ilse), Eryn Murman (u/s Martha), Emily Kinney (Anna), Caitlin Kinnunen (Thea), Gabriel Violett (Otto), Zach Reiner-Harris (u/s Ernst), Matt Doyle (Hanschen), Andrew Durand (Georg), Christine Estabrook (Adult Women), Glenn Fleschler (Adult Men)

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.

(Just a note: All of the following was written on my cell phone, in 160 character chunks that were texted to my email and then compiled)
Not a huuuge fan of Eryn's voice, although she does sound fine. She's very strong in MWBMR, I definitely hear her there.
I prefer Gerard so much to Blake. And Matt's wonderful, his ATK was really good. Bitch of Living was awesome too.
It would probably take a lot of suckery for me to dislike BOL. I quite prefer Eryn in the girl’s scene over Socha. Emily is wonderfully cute.
It really surprises me how she was one of the oldest because she plays Anna quite well. Amanda was fine, but not much else. Caitlin wasn't so great. It sounds like she's constipated because it's like she's literally forcing the lines out. Not a fan of Jesse's Hanschen. It's his voice maybe. He says everything either like he's TOO serious or TOO not. Andrew was fine, Touch Me was good. The woods scene was okay Matt sounds just like Melchior should, IMO. His voice could fit in with Juniors at my school. But in WOYB Eryn completely drowns him out. I don't mind straining to hear him. But I really had to, anyone else might not have been able to. But I could at least pick out his voice because I’ve trained myself to (Yes, I just said that.) Amanda's DIKW is nice, but too mature. Emma's part sounds too sexy. But they were good together. I hate the beating scene. Matt works with it SO well. Until the actual beating part. His acting does not seem to want to hurt her, then the "you bitch..." part just seems random. ATTWN was rocking. Mirror Blue Night was good, so was I Believe. Pretty normal. TGO might be my favorite song to hear Matt in, because I love how his voice is soft and sounds great. But Eryn messed up twice near the end. With Blake’s Moritz, I never understood why he was shouting “ENOUGH!” but with Gerard’s I totally understood, it really made sense what Moritz was thinking and feeling during Don’t Do Sadness. Emma's speaking was too happy and her singing was too sexy. The suicide was perfection. As was Left Behind. Matt does it best out of all the Melchiors I’ve heard. Which is all of them. So, ha. What I love about Matt's TF is instead of funny it sounds truly exasperated. Like the way he felt during ATK hit the breaking point and he’s just had it. Morgan's Ernst really works great, but Jesse doesn't play off it quite right. But he's better than he was in My Junk. WOYBR was decent. Jesse's singing is better than his acting for sure, although not great. Morgan sounds great. I'm interested in how Morgan would sound with Matt. I'm never a fan of Whispering, but it was fine. Emma, reading the letter from Melchior, sounded really weird. Her voice didn’t match what she was saying. Matt sounds really horrified about Wendla being dead. But I've never heard the "no!" sound truly realistic. But Groff and Jake were worse. Those You’ve Known was pretty good. Gerard was good, Matt was awesome, Eryn was fine. I think her high voice was a little irritating here. In general I think although Eryn looks the right age for the role if not older, her voice sounds so much younger.
Song of Purple Summer was not bad. But it wasn’t great. I guess I just don’t like Emma’s voice.
