Day 78-2/5/10

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.

-I swear that it sounded like Christy said "MelCHior" are the end of I Believe
-Matt sounds so pretttty
-Christy's speaking is so weak and is just annoying to listen to.
-Kimiko's voice, especially speaking, is so high pitched and a little bit squeely. It hurts
-Gabby sounds so bitchy in some of the scenes.
-Shishi's Touch Me is such a disappointment
-Anthony's decent.
-Ben's voice makes me want to die, Andy just falls flat.
-Steffi sounds just stupid when she talks

Day 25-12/14/09

Show: Spring Awakening
Date: 5/30/09
Type: Audio
Cast: Krystina as Ilse.

To be honest, I kind of tuned a lot of this out. So I’ll just touch on some stuff starting with the usual.
-Christy was fine, so was Sarah
-Gabby and Kimiko both were weak as usual, but Kimiko was slightly better.
-Blake wasn’t good as usual.
-Andy and Ben didn’t live up to the hype, as usual.
-Matt Shingledecker will never be good until he actually riffs in Touch Me.
-Anthony Lee Medina was pretty good.
-As usual. Did not like Kyle

Specific Stuff
-Krystina kicked ass in DIKW. So refreshing in comparison to how weak Steffi usually is.
-Kyle was really weak in MBN, he cracked a little bit near the end.
-Christy sounded beautiful beginning TGO, Kyle was decent.
-Blake’s DDS is clearly a personal preference or something. It’s not like he’s not singing strong and he’s not cracking or anything, I just can’t stand the way he sings. Or speaks, I guess.
-Definitely liked Krystina’s Ilse in the woods. She has this sort of adventurous attitude, and excited by all her crazy times. Her “How about you…” was so bright and cheerful.
-And my gosh, her Blue Wind was so strong. The very first line was just gorgeous. It was really perfect in every part.
-But Blake brought Krystina down so much in the duet, he overpowered her and wasn’t as good as she was.
-I think I tuned out the suicide.
-Left Behind was decent, not much more.
-Song of Purple Summer: Um, I think we need Krystina full time Ilse. That was absolutely gorgeous.

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.
