So wow. This was an amazing show. Bryce's Berger was a huge shock to the ears at first. But then I got used to it, and it really is quite good. He has a really good singing voice and his characterization was really interesting. Jackie's Sheila was awesome, so was Paris' Woof. Gavin was actually really great, sounded so on. Hair was really interesting, kind of like "Woof and Claude?" Jackie's Sheila is quite softer speaking. She sounds a lot sweeter. Bryce also sounds quite a bit less idiotically goofy, which made the shirt scene a little more serious. Easy to Be Hard was really beautiful, Jackie sounds very emotional. Caissie usually sounds emotional, but in a different way. Jackie's is softer and more vulnerable. Less forceful. Josh's Father was less deep and scary, a little more realistic and Margaret was very shy kind of timid seeming. I think where Jackie beats Caissie for me is when she speaks, she just sounds so personable and sincere. I really liked how Bryce didn't really talk any different, that's not actually a slight at Matt although it sounds like it. I really missed "Tonto say white man die" in the trip. It was because Ryan was in for both Steel and Paris, and he was saying Steel's line at this point. My aunt knows him. Well, anyway, he was good in What a Piece of Work is Man. Bryce was super emotional in the Ain't Got No Reprise and Flesh Failures. I really loved this. I also had about a dozen great ideas for the movie. Oh and also, Gavin just sounded soooooo on this show. It was awesome :D

Day 55-1/13/10
Show: Hair
Cast: Paris as Claude. Although not only do I not know the rest, I can't even find it on my list!
Date: 10/10/09
Type: Audio
Another wonderful show, but honestly I’m running out of things to say. There were some really pretty harmonies that I heard in Good Morning Starshine. It also occurred to me how amazing I think Kober’s Maggie voice is. I tweeted him and asked if it was difficult to come up with, and he told me that it took many tries including something that sounded British! LOL, I love him! For some odd reason I love the part of the trip with the Native Americans “Little Beaver say white man die!...*thud* ow!” Loved Paris Claude, I want to hear him with Steel as Berger (who I haven’t heard at all yet) because I’ve heard that they are amazing together.
In fact here’s my marginally realistic totally awesome mostly understudy cast:
Jackie as Sheila, Paris as Claude, Steel as Berger. Yes I kind of stole this from Sami, but it would be just so cool to see. Something about the fact that they look like the perfect trio. Bryce as Berger would be awesome, but I need time to figure out who he’d be good opposite.
Jay as Woof, both he and Paris seem like very good Woofs because they can seem kind of young and innocent and all that. But we’ll go with Jay, who I haven’t heard as Woof yet.
Megan L as Mom, but with Ali Guinn as Buddhalirama. That’s really maximizes the funny and amazing.
Briana or Hannah as Crissy. I love Briana’s Crissy, but Hannah could be quite good. Although I don’t know if she covers the role.
Megan R or Hannah as Jeanie. Well actually, I don’t know. I looked it up and I don’t know if Hannah understudies Jeanie because she wasn’t listed in the BroadwayWorld.com cast. Megan was pretty good, but I think I might really want Jackie! I can’t even imagine it, but it may very well be amazing.
Krystal Joy Brown as Dionne, and Chasten as Abe. Although I would like to see Chasten as Dionne I heard that the producers didn’t like it and don’t want her going on again unless an emergency.
Let’s go with Matt DeAngelis as General/Hubert/JWB so that Josh Lamon can go on as Dad/Margaret. It would be so odd to not see/hear Kober in that role. Because you know how I said mentioned having a “shock to the ears” in the most recent Rock of Ages review? This would be even more so. Because it’s difficult to even fathom anyone else as the role. Which makes me eager to hear the show after the cast changes. It’s kind of a role that you’re supposed to do your way, so we’ll see.

Day 49-1/7/10
Show: Hair
Date: 10/27/09
Cast: Nicole Lewis as Sheila, Paris Remillard as Claude.
Type: Audio :(
This is quite odd and disorderly:
Rachel's mom's improving, but her buddha is very weird. I just don't like it. 3500 was amazing and powerful, I got such a rush from it and had to play it again.
I really enjoyed Paris's Claude. More than I was expecting to. He has just a wonderful, smooth voice. And what a wonderful singer.
Nicole's Sheila was quite good. Characteristically, it was spot on. But singing it wasn't quite as good as Caissie's. I didn't like that is she sometimes sounded like she was saying "Easy tibby..."
Hair was great and energetic.
Still love everyone that I did last time, finding myself liking Krystal as Abe even more after hearing her Dionne.
Paris was wonderfully powerful in FF/LTSSI, as was Nicole.

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.

Everyone seemed really on. And the understudies were great too. Paris sounded really good in Sodomy, he held some notes beautifully and it was great. I feel the same way about Katie's Frank Mills as I did last time. One thing I found really cool was that this was recorded in the front row, which you can tell whenever someone's standing near it sounds like they're talking directly to you. I don't remember thinking a lot of things special about this one. Typical awesome Hair.
