I think it was posted in the Apple store performance thread. He looks great! Too bad I won't make it to a show to see him.

Wow...I'm quite impressed with his voice! He sounds great! Saw SA with the original cast (minus Lea Michele) but I may just have to see again it with Hunter!

I just watched the broadway.com video. I'm impressed!

He sounds like the most vacuous, unconvincing, phony TV star to ever hit Broadway. Every line seems either (a) carefully scripted by a PR guy, or (b) completely unscripted so he was grasping for every faux-sincere cliche he could muster:

"I think the best thing about being here on stage is that I get to perform in front of ALL these people that sit in these chairs out here! And it's, like, um, a great reaction you get back!"

But yeah, he's generic pretty and his voice sounds fine. But let's see if he can act at all-- his "Weeds" appearances make it seem he'll follow in Groff's footsteps.

Some people just can't be happy unless they are hating.

Posted: 8/12/08 at 5:11pm

Jeez, at least he's excited. Would you prefer him to compare live theater to slavery, the way Terrence Howard did?

Does anyone know how long he'll be performing for?

He sounds really great! Love his energy. And so very cute as well

He does a great job in WEEDS, I hope I get to see him in this show.

I know that usually all you see of the conductor is their back, but even in this video they only show Kimberly's back. I feel bad for her. Is she still with the show, or is she just there doing music director duties?

Kimberly's back in the show.

The picture of Hunter and Alexandra Socha on 45th St. is HOT.

Anyone have a photo?

[antiandrewx]

Posted: 8/13/08 at 5:18pm

It's on 44th, actually. Right by the St. James.

Wow, that was some service! Thank you!

She looks a lot like Jenn Damiano from the side.

The left half of that board boasts Gerard Canonico as the new Moritz. First time, that I know of, that they have used pix of anyone other than Groff, Gallagher and Michelle for publicity. (Except immediately outside the theater.)
