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 60-1/18/10
Show: Spring Awakening
Date: 1/18/09
Cast: Hunter Parrish, Alexandra Socha, Gerard Canonico, Matt Doyle, Blake Daniel, Emma Hunton, Gabe Violett, Andrew Durand, Amanda Castanos, Caitlin Kinnunen, Emily Kinney, Morgan Karr, Alice Lee, Eryn Murman, Zach-Reiner Harris
Type: Audio
Oh gosh. This was an emotional rollercoaster. First, everyone was great, especially Alexandra.
There was so much excitement in the audience and you could tell that they were totally into it. And I was totally wrapped up in it. And it was so emotional. I can't really say much more about other than a lot of the great parts made me cry. Especially Song of Purple Summer. But let me explain to you my relationship with the show that makes it so emotional. In July, Rachel saw Spring Awakening (it may have been in June...yeah, it was June) and in July I got hooked on the OBCR and the pictures that I found on Google. By August I was becoming a youtube whore. But what was it, October? That closing was announced. I told my mom, who said she'd talk to my dad about letting me go, who said no.
It was too early. I know for some of you out there, you saw it. You met the cast. You got autographs, you did it all. But I did none of it. I was planning on doing all of that in December...of 2010. I thought the show would have lasted that long, I mean it was so popular. You have no idea how envious I am when people talk about all the people they've seen and when I read the reviews of how magical Touch Me, it kills me. And while I'm at it, do you know how mad I get when people complain about an understudy that they saw or something?
My point is that although I'm hiding it, today has been really rough on me. And last year was even worse.

Day 47-1/5/10
Show: Spring Awakening
Date: 10/7/08
Type: Audio
Cast: Hunter Parrish, Alexandra Socha, Morgan Karr, Emma Hunton, Caitlin Kinnunen, Amanda Castanos, Andrew Durand, Gabe Violett, Blake Daniel, Matt Doyle.
Alexandra: Her biggest problem for me is making her voice higher to sound younger. It doesn't work and isn't necessary. I was most impressed in The Guilty Ones, she sounded truly pretty. Everything else was pretty much the same.
Hunter: I just don't like him. His voice is all wrong for me.
Morgan: Such a beautiful voice, but every time he spoke real lines all I thought was "why is Ernst having Moritz's lines?" Just because he is a great singer doesn't mean he should cover the role.
Emma: For once she didn't sound "sexy" in Dark I Know Well. Instead she sounded haunting and lovely. But she went back to sounding sexy in Blue Wind. She was pretty good in Song of Purple Summer.
Caitlin: In the radical scene she is pretty much awful. It's as if she's trying to say all of her lines as loud and fast as she can. But in My Junk itself she's somewhat softer and smoother. She was a little bit better in the secret scene as well.
Amanda: My favorite part is when she says "For god's sake, papa beat me enough as it is?" she sounds so urgent and worried that she accidentally blurted it out. Everything else was pretty
good.
Gabe: I just never notice him.
Blake: He's great, as usual.
Matt: All kinds of fantastic. He really just sounded so on. Word of Your Body Reprise was absolutely fantastic, I was starting to feel seduced. His line in Totally Fucked was absolutely incredible and he was great in My Junk. There were a few other moments where I thought I could hear him; Mirror-Blue Night, I Believe, possibly Song of Purple Summer.
This was recorded in the front row, so Song of Purple Summer sounded unbelievably cool. You could hear a bunch of beautiful harmonies as they moved around.

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)
Type: Audio :(
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.

Hunter: I was kind of meh. I mean, he was better vocally than he was later. But I could just hear how old he was, and he didn't mesh with Alexandra all that well. For once I could hear Melchior in WOYB, but it was kind of because they weren't meshing.
Alexandra: I didn't like her here, usually I like her more than this. She sounded annoyingly young a lot. I'd say more so in speaking than in singing, but it was like she was raising her voice to sound smaller and it sounded irritating.
Gerard: Very wonderfully spazzy and youthful and it really worked.
Andrew: Touch Me was quite good, definitely good riffs. Although I will say that it was either too much or not passionate enough, there was something missing and it wasn't the notes or the riffs in general.
Gabe: When he starts his Touch Me solo I feel like he has this accent, and it's so irritating. But in general he's fine.
Matt: I still believe that he alters his voice when he's speaking. In My Junk, he was talking one way and when he sang it sounded like a completely different person. But I have a rationale that actually makes the voice altering a good idea, so I'm getting over it.
Blake: Good. Cute.
Emily: She says her lines so cutely. It takes getting used to, but really it's fine.
Caitlin: I feel like if you're constipated you just shouldn't go on.
Amanda: Good, Powerful.
Emma: Beautiful, although I still think it sounds too sexy.
Adults: Not bad. Both are kind of over the top, but at least they BOTH are.
