Day 75-2/2/10

Show: Avenue Q
Date: 10/14/08
Cast:Howie Michael Smith (Princeton/Rod), Christy Carleson Romano (Kate/Lucy), Christian Anderson (Nicky/Trekkie), Carla Renata (Gary Coleman), Nicholas Kohn (Brian), Ann Sanders (Christmas Eve), Jennifer Barnhart (Mrs. T/Bear), Ensemble: Jonathan Root, Minglie Chen
Type: Audio

I'm shocked. I had no idea that Christy was playing Kate. I actually thought she was pretty good. Everything was good! Once again very enjoyable.
Although I was kind of wondering how someone came up with the idea for it. It's such an original show and I know that I (who is very creative) wouldn't have thought of it!

Day 74-2/1/10

Show: Hair
Date: 9/2/09

Cast: Paris Remillard* (Claude), Will Swenson (Berger), Caissie Levy (Sheila), Ryan Link* (Woof), Darius Nichols (Hud), Sasha Allen (Dionne), Kacie Sheik (Jeanie), Kaitlin Kiyan* (Crissy/Black Boys Trio), Andrew Kober (Father/Margaret Mead), Megan Lawrence (Mother), Matt DeAngelis* (Hubert/Principal/Tribe), Jackie Burns (Black Boys Trio/Tribe), Chasten Harmon* (Tribe), Hannah Shankman* (Black Boys Trio/Tribe), Nicole Lewis (White Boys Trio/Tribe), Krystal Joy Brown (White Boys Trio/Tribe), Ato Blankson-Wood (Tribe), Steel Burkhardt (What a Piece Solo*/Tribe), Allison Guinn (Tribe), Michael James Scott* (Tribe), John Moauro (Tribe), Brandon Pearson (Tribe), Jay A. Johnson* (Tribe), Maya Sharpe (Tribe), Tommar Wilson (Tribe)
Type: Audio

I'm really loving Paris's Claude. His speaking voice is really really nice. Also Ryan's Woof was great. There wasn't anything super special he seemed to do, and he has a normal voice but he made it all work really nicely. I know that Katie's Crissy isn't that popular because Frank Mills just doesn't sound right for her voice, but I thought it was really pretty. At some parts it was a little weaker and you could hear the strain, but a lot sounded pretty, like a lullaby.
Also I kind of wonder who said "Tonto say white man die" because someone told me that Jay once did it kind of like a robot, and it sounded a little robotic here.

Day 73-1/31/10

Show: Wicked
Date: 1/11/05
Cast: Shoshana Bean (Elphaba), Jennifer Laura Thompson (Glinda), David Ayers (Fiyero), Michelle Federer (Nessarose) , George Hearn (Wizard), Carole Shelley (Madame Morrible), William Youmans (Dr. Dillamond), Jeffery Kuhn (Boq)
Type: Audio

So, I actually liked this one.

Kidding. Kind of.

I didn't like the plot any more than I usually do, but I liked the voices so much better. I like how Shoshana's voice has a mixture of powerful and sweetness. The only part where she wasn't so great was in Wizard and I and Defying Gravity. In both songs when she says "Meeeeeeeeee" she sounded kind of weak.
Jennifer was really great. She didn't play Galinda as annoying and forced cutesy as the others I've heard before her. Her voice was beautiful and I was impressed. Not that I was surprised, a friend of mine pretty much knows every Glinda backwards and forwards and said that she's the best.

Day 72-1/30/10

Show: Next to Normal
Date: 6/21/09
Cast: Alice Ripley (Diana), J. Robert Spencer (Dan), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Kyle Dean Massey (Gabe), Adam Chantler-Beret (Henry), Louis Hobson (Dr. Madden/Dr. Fine)
Type: Audio

To be honest, I didn't know it was Jenn as Natalie until I just looked it up now. She didn't really sound like herself...maybe that's why the next audio I have (June 25th) is Meghann as Natalie. Jenn was fine, just less strong than usual. And Kyle's really growing on me. Can't say I found anything too bad about his performance. Alice has been seeming kind of shaky. She's puts 100% in and I'm not sure if she's getting the full hundred back. I am the one reprise pretty much killed me. So did light. Both were super emotional and wonderful

Day 71-1/29/10

Show: Spring Awakening
Date: 3/14/09
Cast: Christy Altomare, Matt Doyle, Blake Bashoff, Andy Mientus, Ben Moss, Anthony Lee Medina, Kimiko Glenn, Gabby Garza, Matt Shingledecker, Steffi D, Sarah Hunt

-Shishi's Touch Me is such a disappointment
-Anthony's decent.
-Ben's voice makes me want to die, Andy just falls flat.

Type: Audio

I really like the opening song, even though it's supposedly a big dance number, it's still fun to listen to and it got stuck in my head.
Also the into to Second Banana is verrry similar to the intro to Little Me. It was weird.
Crazier Than You is probably my favorite song, totally got stuck in my head.
And all in all it was great.

Oh, and I love Wesley Taylor

Type: Audio

I turned this on without knowing a single thing about this show. Honestly I was totally clueless. But it turned out that it was pretty easy to follow and it was pretty cute.

Marcus Anderson > Sarah Rosen: Thanks for the wishes, letter and everything!

Sarah Rosen > Marcus Anderson: No problem. I'll see you tomorrow :)

Sarah Rosen > Marcus Anderson: Sorry for being so emotional. But it was really great seeing you.

Marcus Anderson > Sarah Rosen: It's okay. I'm glad I could make you happy :)

Marcus Anderson > Sarah Rosen: Break a leg tomorrow, are you excited?

Sarah Rosen > Marcus Anderson: Yeah. But mostly scared. It really freaks me out that you guys are coming. And even more so that you're bringing a "surprise"

Marcus Anderson > Sarah Rosen: Ha, don't be. You'll love it. I hope. Does anyone else in the show know we're coming.

Sarah Rosen > Marcus Anderson: Nope. It didn't seem like a good idea to mention it. I think they just think we're dating. Just a reminder; sit by the left aisle.

Marcus Anderson > Sarah Rosen: We'll try. Are you going to have time to say hi before the show?

Sarah Rosen > Marcus Anderson: It's my show. I have whatever time I want.

Marcus Anderson > Sarah Rosen: I gotta say it again, you were beyond awesome. Seriously, that was amazing. You completely owned.

Sarah Rosen > Marcus Anderson: Aw, thanks. You're sweet.

Marcus Anderson > Sarah Rosen: No problem :)

Sarah Rosen > Marcus Anderson: Great job last night, Melchi! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uh0iKkdcSS0

Marcus Anderson > Sarah Rosen: Will you come next week? I'll be on for every role.

Sarah Rosen > Marcus Anderson: It was your week. I was blown away! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwUAEyTsUw4

Marcus Anderson > Sarah Rosen: Saw your status. I'm so sorry :(

Sarah Rosen > Marcus Anderson: It's okay. I can't wait to see you!
