If you would like to know who sang a particular song, PM me.
The production overall was amazing! When you go to see this show, you need to know that it is NOT a Broadway musical, but a Broadway revue. A small plot carries the songs along and I thought it worked perfectly.
Sets were simple, but creative. Lighting was very intense with color...all the instruments that were used on stage were moving lights. No sound flaws. I was impressed. The quartet is constantly moving around these large recording mics. They were used effectively, but I feel they were over done and found it destracting. The orchestra was in a Hollywood Squares formation and moved around a lot.
The performers were A-MA-ZING! Every single person on that stage knew how to belt and could do it well.
Ashley Brown: This girl is going to be a huge star! She is gorgeous. The vocal chords on her are huge. She belted out Reflection and pretty much every other ballad she sang. I was impressed by her performance the most.
Brian Sutherland: Great voice, good presence. He brought some experience to the stage...and balanced out all of the young men.
Emily Skinner: What can I say? This lady is a diva! No, literally...in the show she is the diva. I almost cried during her performance of Will The Sun Ever Shine Again?. I have admired her for awhile now and it was great to see her live.
Andrew Samonsky: H-O-T-T-! This boy can sing, dance, please the eye, etc.
Quartet: High energy. Andy Karl is Orfeh's husband, I believe. Him and Tyler were in Altar Boyz off-Broadway. Tyler was in Mamma Mia! on Broadway, also. The two ladies are newcomers and are fantastic. I sat right in front of Keewa's brother.
To sum it all up: there is not one weak point on that stage. I would highly suggest cathing this show for the talent, but remember...it is not a Broadway musical...so do not go expecting one. Emily told me that they have a lot of work to do and things are changing everyday.
BEST PERFORMER AWARD: Ashley Brown, with Emily right behind.
That is all I have to say right now...I am tired...good night!
PS- Bethany, Emily said hi.
