I feel bad because I fell asleep during this. Haha. But I actually liked quite a bit of it. Freedom was really good. I just like the way that it sets such a positive opening. Last Week’s Alcohol was a lot deeper than they were at the other concert. But I think he also enunciated better. I understood a lot more words than I did the other time. I really liked Celia’s My Party Dress. It was just really cute and fun. I’m definitely going to mention it at dance, because she mentions a lot of dance moves and other fun stuff like that. The introduction to Two Strangers was definitely funny. “This is really supposed to be for a girl. But then we met Morgan Karr” That’s another thing I want to bring up at dance because there’s this girl that thinks that nobody and certainly no boy could go as high as Kristen Chenoweth and I’m going to be like “Morgan. Freaking. Karr”

Day 121-3/20/10
Show: Next to Normal
Date: 1/1/10
Cast: Meghann Fahy as Natalie
Type: Audio
After listening to Jessica as Diana, Alice is almost painful. She sounds nuts and crazy and uneven and just not as good. Meghann was really good. She sounds quite similar to Jenn except when I really focus I can hear that her voice is softer, and more vulnerable.

Show: Hair
Date: 3/9/10
Cast: Kyle Riabko, Ace Young, Diana Degarmo, Annaleigh Ashford, Josh Lamon, et al.

So I was kind of expecting to hate Kyle. I didn’t hate him. But I wasn’t absolutely in love. He’s really got potential and good characterization. Ace I was very iffy on. Berger is always annoying and crazy and all over the place and too much, but this might have been too too much. One thing I thought was cool was how they sing “transcendental meditation of the ocean of reality is love” rather than just speaking it. I’m torn on Annaleigh’s Jeanie. I think a piece of me loves her so that I wanted to love it, but I also read bad reviews so I was prepared to hate it. I’m a little neutral. I wish she had played it a little more naturally, it seemed like she was trying to hard at some parts. Diana was really interesting. She needs to tone it down just a little bit. But her singing was interesting. It was like a combination of all other Sheilas. I think I liked the new Woof. But wow, the new Hud was fine, but I missed Darius so much. Like seriously, he may be the one I missed the most. As weird as this may sound, I wasn’t quite as impressed with Josh’s Maggie as I have been. Maybe I wasn’t focused enough because he wasn’t an understudy this time, but it seemed a little more like Andrew’s; less connected.

I wasn't unbelievably into it. It was a little too quiet and the halls and bus are really loud. But I got into it. It's just really real. I think the mother overall had the best voice.

So many understudies! Lauren, I wasn't crazy about. Her voice was lacking a little bit. Not crazy about the Emmett. I didn't think I'd miss Christian, but I did. The Vivienne also wasn't good enough. She failed to do snotty. I liked Mamie pretty much, but I had been kind of looking forward to hearing Natalie.
