Alright guys just got back from tonight's show and I figured I'd post because I had such a great time.
It hasn't hit me yet that this was last time I will see the show on broadway (still crossing my fingers for a tour). The show was great as usual and the orchestra section was full. The general reaction was a good one - some people really enjoyed themselves and we're cracking up non-stop. And heard some people say how they liked it better than the movie.
Everybody was in except Kevin Kern was playing someone's ensemble track. Stephen was good - I remembered enjoying him more the other times I went, but maybe I was too close to see his facial expressions from when he is on the floor (damn he is on the floor a good amount of time during the show).
Laura was on... and may I say SHE STOLE MY HEART. The first time i saw the show Tina was on, and the second Laura was in, but it seemed right before she took off. Her voice was weak... but this time she totally surprised me. Her voice was beautiful and powerful and she just seemed like she was having a blast tonight. During the Bar Mitzvah scene when her and robbie are dancing she started to crack up... if you looked at her while Amy & Matt were doing their part of scene - you could see her not being able to contain herself - I'm very curious about what Stephen must've done to her.
Amy also sounded great tonight, especially during Saturday Night in the City. Nothing to add about that, but I really enjoyed her more than I did in the past. She sounded really ON, maybe it was the couple of performances she took off. The people I went with really loved her.
Kevin was great as usual. He did this great thing during "single". The bartender was shelling out shots and the shot glass tipped over - so Kevin totally went with it and wipped the alcohol off of the counter. it was funny.
I guess the last thing to mention is Rita. She almost forgot to put her headphones on when she is jogging infront of the house. So she was dancing and working out to the music with her headphones around her neck. But when Stephen entered she realized and put them on.
Richard and Felicia were great too. It was just a fun night and it was nice to hear all the songs live one last time. It almost makes me want to go again for the final performance to see what they all will do, but I don't know if i can. I'm sure some of you guys will give me some spot-on reviews. Ok now I'm getting all choked up - LOL
Hope everyones having a good night!
