I don’t know. I guess it’s alright. I had problems hearing most of it. And by that I mean all of the dialogue and half of the songs.

Type: Audio
Alice wasn’t all that great. Her voice bothered me here. Jenn was iffy, she had noticeable difficult in Everything Else. Bobby struggled in Who’s Crazy he cracked a little bit then stopped to clear his throat. Michael was Dan in Act 2, which I noticed the first word he said. I’m not sure about him. I don’t know if he sounds right for the show. He’s got more of a musical theatrey voice which might not work for Next to Normal.

Day 89-2/16/10
Show: Hair
Date: 2/2/10
Cast: Jay as Claude, Megan as Jeanie.
Type: Audio :(
I'm not sure if I can pair words with my love for Jay's Claude. It's just really good. He starts off so different from Gavin. Gavin has a good fake britsh accent. Jay has a fake british accent that isn't good. But that actually makes it work really well. What I love so unbelievably much is the way Jay talks. He has some kind of quirky youthful voice which I think completely works for Claude. Every time he spoke you could hear his personality. His singing was great and he had great energy. Megan was also really good where she excels is Jeanie's little "speeches." The one after Air really impressed me with how blissful and dreamy she sounded. The one after Easy to Be Hard was great in that it sounded a little bit upset with the world. Everything else was great and typical Hair

Show: Jennifer Damiano and Adam Chanler-Berat at Joe's Pub
Date: 2/3/10
Cast: Jennifer Damiano and Adam Chanler-Berat
Type: Audio
It's very weird. They did a lot of the same songs that Matt Doyle did at his performances. Adam sang How Glory Goes, they sang Falling Slowly, they sang Crush and the thing was that Matt just sounds better than Adam. Don't Do Sadness/Blue Wind was pretty good. But the overall thing about it was that Jenn was much better than Adam.

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)
Type: Audio
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

Not terribly impressed. Not my favorite show. A different cast didn't make it a whole lot better. Although Stephanie was better than Susan who I really dislike

I do love this show and this audio, but I actually found myself not loving LBB so much. Her voice was too twangy, too quirky and I really didn't like it.

Day 84-2/11/10
Show: Bye Bye Birdie
Date: 9/27/09
Cast: Robi Hager as Conrad
Type: Audio
So what I found to be really good for ignoring how atrocious Gina is, is imagining my dance teacher Sara playing Rosie. It works so well because Sara's Latina and a fierce ass dancer.
John isn't so impressive. It just doesn't really work for me.
Matt sounded kind of deep in One Boy. It didn't sound bad, just it didn't exactly go with Allie's higher voice.
Robi has a much deeper smoother voice than Nolan. He didn't put as much pizazz and pitch, I think it's because he didn't need to. He sounded creepier than Nolan as well.
