Show: Spring Awakening
Cast: Christy Altomare, Perry Sherman, Blake Bashoff, Steffi D, Andy Mientus, Ben Moss, Matt Shingledecker, Anthony Lee Medina, Sarah Hunt, Krystina Alabado, Gabby Garza.
Christy: My favorite song was TGO, everything else was typical and therefore I wasn't in love with her. Hated her in MWBMR.
Sarah: I hate that in the radical scene, her voice quivers. I also hate that she says goes high when she says "dark" in "there's a part I can't tell about the dark I know well" in DIKW.
Perry: Very good! Love his singing and his acting his great. He had an unfortunate crack in MBN. he was awesome and then it happened.
Krystina: Quite good. I just think she tried to speak as if she were younger by making her voice higher. It just didn't sound natural
Ben: I hate how annoyingly high his voice is
Andy: Sounds like a girl a lot.
Anthony: Fine. Hardly noticed
Matt: Same as Anthony, but was quite weak in TOUCH ME.
Blake: Disklike as usual.
Steffi: Same as Blake
A problem I have with this cast is sometimes their voices just don't mesh. Mama Who Bore Me Reprise doesn't quite harmonize as it should and even when they speak it sounds like they're all saying their own lines, there's not enough playing off of each other. I noticed this in the scene where Martha confesses her secret. Thea says "My uncle Klaus says..." Martha responds "That must be" but the way Krystina and Sarah said the lines, they sounded disconnected. The Guilty Ones was one of my favorites today, Perry and Christy sounded really good together. Also in Word of Your Body Reprise, this must have been recorded onstage because it picks up really pretty harmonies from someone (I think it might be Krystina, but I'm not 100% sure) and it picks up harmonies every now and then in My Junk.

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.
