So even when I thought that I couldnt remotely possibly get into see THE WEDDING SINGER, I went down after lunch, which was like 10 minutes into the show and asked if their was any way I could possibly get a student ticket, but the ticket lady was a major bitch and turned me away until this man, who assume has something to do with ticketing told me, they had 1 student ticket left and I could buy it. So, I got my student ticket.
I entered the theatre right in the middle of SOMEDAY, which was amazing. Tina was so amazing in those first seconds of being inside. I had to wait for applause to die down to take my seat. I was in awe.
Stephen Lynch was HYSTERICAL as Robbie Hart, he was goofy and charming and all the things that made the character so appealing in the movie, his voice is expectional. He was first rate.
Tina is amazing, I had seen all these "I LOVE TINA AS JULIA.." "TINA MADDIGAN is AMAZING..." threads and now I truly understand why. She was brillant. Her voice was goregous and she was hysterical as Julia, she surpassed Laura on the original cast recording. If the rumors of her taking over are true then she'll be amazing.
Rita Gardner was so adorable as Rosie, she was hysterical during MOVE THAT THING. She was very energetic and her lines about Grandpa and her "special time" and her speech at the party were too hilarious.
Kevin Cahoon STEALS the show at moments, in full on Boy Geogre-esque mode, he is a comedic force of nature. He had me in stiches during "Geogre's Prayer.." I was near hysterics during MOVE THAT THING, he's just too hysterical.
Richard H. Blake was pretty awesome as Glenn. I knew him from when he was in Hairspray, I didnt see him the day I went, but had heard great things about him. He was jerky and rude and just a plain bad guy with tons of the 80's prepppy yuppie jerkness of the guys from 80's movies. "All About The Green" was fantastic. I knew he smoked, so if he smokes and still sings that well, its amazing. He was great.
FELICIA FINLEY! Linda is one hysterical character and she was amazing to a tee in the roll. It was so funny during "A LETTER FROM LINDA" in which she appeared in all 80's rock chick glory. Hysterical.
Amy Spanger was great. "Right In Front of Your Eyes" is one of my favorite songs from the cast recording and her preformance was nothing short of fantastic. She had such great charisma with David.
David Josefberg was HYSTERICAL! I think better than Matthew was on the recording, he was very funny and he nailed every number-- especially SINGLE. His hair was too much, it was a character in itself.
The ensemble featured Cara Cooper, who I loved from All Shook Up, apparently like most of the ensemble of All Shook Up and Wicked have so how graviated to The Wedding Singer.
At the stage door, everyone came out, {expect for Richard} but I met personally:
Stephen
Tina {Today is her birthday apparently. so HAPPY BDAY TINA!}
Kevin {in full on GEORGE mode}
Felicia {in full on LINDA mode}
Christina {Sideburns and Cyndi Lauper}
Adinah {Julia's mother}
Tracee {she played Crystal at my preformance}
I believe Cara came by, but I'm not sure, like half the cast was blonde, it was hard to tell.
I loved every moment of the show, even with constant remands from someone on BWW about how it was terrible, I enjoyed it.
CONSTANTINE was at my preformance, I believe, I went out to get a t-shirt or program and saw someone who looked alot like him coming up to go to the bar or use the restroom. I wanted to talk to him but when I turned back around he was gone.
