I was there. I did NOT care for Crum all that much. (except for a few moments, I felt he was "just there. Either he was singing very softly or there was a problem with his mic. I found very often I could barely hear him, and if singing against others, he was totally drowned out.)
I thought Adam was VERY good in the role. He stood out to me as well. A few timing misteps when singing with Dan...but nothing major that won't fall into place with a little more time.
Meghann was good...although a bit off vocally, in the same places I thought she was off when I saw her during the late summer.
I enjoyed both Marin and Jason more than I had previously -- particularly Jason. I found his facial distortions to be far less and his Dan seemed much more grounded.
My 13 year old daugther was very strongly affected by the last scene (when Dan and Gabe interact). The more she thinks about it, the more she likes it. My 10 year old, liked it...but agreed he isn't really ready for "stuff THAT serious'....for now.
My dd wanted to stage door (oy) and Jason and Marin were pretty impressed impressed with their age. She stayed for the bitter end since Adam was (understandably) also dealing with friends/family outside, so it took him quite some for him to get to those audience members waiting. She thought it was worth it.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
