Catch me if you Can Preview Thread — Page 15

They cut off the biggest parts of most of the songs. I mean of course they can't just give away all of it, but I wanted to hear how Aaron handled the high note in "Goodbye" because he wasn't in the best vocal shape in the video (he was absolutely fantastic live and really didn't sound too bad, just not as good). Could there be an optional lower note for it?

Norbert and Aaron are in different categories, they aren't competing against each other. They can both get nominated and win in their respective categories. Norbert really should at least get a nom. In the rehearsal footage I wasn't a fan of "Don't Break the Rules" but live it is spectacular. Norbert has so much stage presence.

Yeah, I also noticed that Aaron's vocals weren't as up to par in this video...does anybody know if the understudies have gone on for any of the performances yet?

Norbert and Aaron are in different categories, they aren't competing against each other. They can both get nominated and win in their respective categories.

What are you talking about? They'll almost certainly both be in the leading actor category.

Reggie do you think Kerry Butler will get a nomination as well?

I'll be shocked if it happens, but if it does, Butz will easily win the Featured Actor Tony award.

I think there's a possiblity of Kerry being nominated, but only because it's a fairly weak category this year.

Between this and the Anything Goes, I'm beginning to think these preview videos are a terrible idea.

I feel like you pinpointed the problem. You live in NYC now... things are almost always better live.

I saw the Saturday matinee. I was not expecting to like it much, but was almost totally won over. I had a really enjoyable time. The score has a few clunkers, but the majority of it is excellent. Aaron exudes real star quality. He deserves the Tony over Radcliffe, in my opinion. The only disappointment is Kerry Butler. Her acting choices and movements are just plain bizarre. Too bad she gets one of the show's best songs.

I am not embarrassed to admit that I enjoyed this and SISTER ACT more than THE BOOK OF MORMON. I liked MORMON, but didn't love it.

I hope the critics aren't too cruel to this one.

Or maybe, just maybe, not everyone felt about the show the same way you did.

You really need to relax.

Massofmen gets exasperated when people disagree with him, and he tends to lash out.

Well said TxTwoStep, well said!

Well i hate to say I told you so but I predicted the reviews would not be good a few pages back. (Actually I like to say I told you so--so oh well.. I lied; shoot me!)

The show was doomed by its concept; telling it as a tv special flashback which not only doesn't work but was very tacky.

I feel for Aaron Tveit who is uber talented and handsome guy who was expected to narrate, star and save his own story. I hope he rebounds in something better. He was the great Broadway hope.

No one, not even the wonderful Aaron Tveit could have saved that misguided concept.

I think Norbert Leo Butz, an actor who I normally adore, was doing a Tom Hanks impression and failed to impress me in this show.

Linda Hart with less than 10 minutes on stage stole the evening and brought a much needed smile to my face.

Kerry Lee Butler's character came out of nowhere. I almost asked who is she again as she delivered the 11 o clock number.

I prediced Book of Mormon would get raves. and well I was right about that one too. Well I predict Sister Act will be roasted on the charcoals next week. Let's see if I'm right about that one too.
