Audra and Raul were the very definitions of Broadway stars last night.

Audra
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Audra.
Esparza only if you enjoy watching someone pick at a scabbed over flesh wound until there's no choice but to howl out in pain.

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

I think (hope) that Audra's performance really bought that show a big boost in box office. She's always dazzling but that performance was filled with joy. And that cartwheel?? I was sold.

Audra's for sure! Raul's was a letdown for me.

I didn't think Audra's voice was good.

I'm honestly shocked at how many people adored Audra's performance. I was highly disappointed and thought 110 in the Shade was in the weaker half of the bunch. She was okay, but definitely not the best... in my opinion.
I thoroughly enjoyed most of the performances (Raul (even though I'm not a huge fan of his voice... his virbrato is a little too intense for me), Curtains, Chorus Line, Fantasia, and dare I say... Mary Poppins and SA) Christine had great comedic timing, but I was bored as ****.
My opinion... please don't yell at me.

I really loved ALL the performances last night...they were wonderful! My favorites were Mary Poppins (it was cute and dare I say it- magical), Raul (my hero), and Spring Awakening (loved the censorship!).
What was with the "hardcore" camera job during Totally F***ed? It was extremely annoying and not in the least bit edgy.

A Chorus Line was pretty amazing. Audra and Raul were great.

Chorus Line stunk. Nothing you can't find in the movie or probably a dozen other TV clips. I was impressed with Audra. Don't know much about 110 in the Shade but I'm definitely more interested in it now than I was before. I thought Spring Awakening started out strong but went downhill after "Mama Who Bore Me." It didn't capture the energy of the regular show too well (because it was through TV or performer inexperience? who knows). I thought Raul captured the end of Company really well for not having the usual two hours to build up the character.
But the worst performance? Jersey Boys. One of my favorite shows and it was just badly put together, out of synch with the orchestra and kind of random and weird. A little disappointing - hopefully people who don't know about don't think that's how the show is.

Honestly, there wasn't a complete standout in my opinion. Most were good. And there were only a few *cough cough* jersey boys *cough cough* that just made my skin crawl. But yeah. No goosebump giving performances that I'll be talking about next week...

Christine, Raul, Audra, the gang from Curtains and Marvin Hamlsich. Boy he looked like he was having fun up on that rooftop. The rest of A Chorus Line was rather lame though.
