Awesome. Nothing like OBCness to make you happy. Lauren’s Ilse was definitely beautiful. And it’s sad to listen to Johnny’s last Moritz because he really had his own way of doing it.

Cast: John Gallagher Jr, Tony Vincent, Matt Caplan, Will Espers, Mary Faber, Rebecca Naomi Jones, et al.

I sort of understood this better seeing it, but I’m not going to lie, I was still kind of confused. But it was fun. I don’t know if it’s just because he wrote on my wall, but I really liked Tony Vincent. And Theo. Whenever I listened to Holiday before I had wondered who had that part and when I saw that it was Theo and that made me happy. Also I had been wondering if Gerard was in the ensemble or if he was just an understudy or something. And then I saw this little spazzy kid run across the stage and my question was answered.

Day 87-2/14/10
Show: Spring Awakening
Date: 8/27/07
Cast: Jonathan Groff (Melchior), Lea Michele (Wendla), John Gallagher, Jr. (Moritz), Skylar Astin (Georg), Lilli Cooper (Martha), Blake Daniel (Ernst), Brian Charles Johnson (Otto), Christine Estabrook (Adult Women), Lauren Pritchard (Ilse), Phoebe Strole (Anna), Stephen Spinella (Adult Men), Jonathan B. Wright (Hanschen), Jennifer Damiano (u/s Thea)

Pretty decent show. Groff sounded wonderful. Lea was decent. John sounded maybe a little too spazy. Skylar was excellent in Touch Me. Lilli was excellent in Dark I Know Well. Lauren was great in Blue Wind but I realized her acting isn't exactly great. JBW was not strong to me, I know some people say he's great but I'm not impressed. Phoebe may be one of the few Anna's who make me really like the character. Blake was great but sounded a little nervous. And Jenn was a decent Thea. She had some spunk to her.
Standout songs were Bitch of Living, Touch Me, My Junk, Totally Fucked, and Song of Purple Summer

Day 31-12/20/09
Show: Spring Awakening
Date: 12/18/06
Cast: OBC, Robi as Ernst
Type: Audio :(
My gosh, somehow even though this was 8 days after the beginning it seems as close to perfect as a live performance could be. I'd say the gorgeous quality makes it seem even better. Lea surprisingly did not irritate the living crap out of me. She still sounded overly polished and precocious but I didn't cringe as much as I did last time. And wow, Johnny sounded so much younger and so wonderfully awkward. I imagine him as a kid who's been help back and is just pathetic, but sweet and sad. I realized that I haven't heard Lauren in pretty much forever. Because when I first heard her in Mama Reprise I realized I'd been missing a lot. She tears that song apart. When she comes into Dark I Know Well it adds this haunting that it requires. It seems effortless, like she's really just singing thoughts. Her Blue Wind has a haunting sadness and her dialogue with Moritz almost seems sad with a hope and some sentimental amusement. Her Song of Purple Summer was also beautiful, but the whole ensemble was really what made it good. Groff was good as Melchior. I can't say I buy it, but he sings wonderfully and you can tell he gives the character all he can. Some people weren't bred for a role, but he does pretty well. Phoebe and Remy were both very cute, and man they sound so young! Lilli was good, nothing sticks out that I remember. No one sounds like Gideon's Ernst, but I did quite like Robi's he has a regular/lowish pitched voice but he tunes into this innocence for Ernst which works great. JBW wasn't too bad although I'm still not a big fan. Touch Me pretty much just killed. Brian and Skylar both sounded amazing and just everyone together with all this perfection was soooo WOW. Same goes for Totally Fucked

Show: American Idiot
Date: 9/10/09

Cast: John Gallagher, Jr., Michael Esper, Matt Caplan, Mary Faber, Rebecca Naomi Jones, Tony Vincent, Christina Sajous, Declan Bennett, Andrew Call, Gerard Canonico, Miguel Cervantes, Joshua Henry, Brian Charles Johnson, Chase Peacock, Theo Stockman, Ben Thompson, Alysha Umphress, Morgan Weed, Libby Winters, Lorin Latarro, Omar Lopez-Cepero.
I said I was going to be listening to the Addams Family, but I couldn't really hear anything all that well on the one I had, so I'm listening to this instead.
I really like the music. In 5th grade I was a huge Green Day fan. All the time, every day. I even listened to the longer songs (which were around 9 minutes) while running so that I could get my mile time down. I never did. My mile time is 12 minutes.
Annnyyyway, I think John's voice is perfect for the music. Everyone sounds really strong. It all really sounded like kind of a rock concert, very fun.
Oh, but one question:
What the hell was going on?
