Saw the show at Shea's. My quick thoughts...
-Very cool to see a show HEADING to Broadway, knowing that the cast I saw is the cast that will open this show in the Richard Rodgers come April
-It's a very dark musical, which I personally do not prefer. But the material moved along at a very brisk pace. It never slipped into 'this is really boring' mode for me.
-Constantine and Deborah are powerhouse singers. Her beautiful voice reminded me of Whitney's. With that said, I wouldn't say they have out-of-this-world chemistry either.
-I wish the show had a 'comic relief' song (this coming from someone who prefers the more fun, campy stuff). Sure it risks breaking apart the building tension and plot and would probably seem out of place, but perhaps not if done right. Something in the vein of 'Master of the House' perhaps. Wake the audience up a little.
-Is it just me or is there next to no choreography?
-Show deserved better than the 2 and-a-half star review it got in the paper
-Maroulis and Cox will both get nominated for a Tony. He just may win. His role is incredibly demanding. I'm in awe of the fact that he does this 8 shows a week.
-Saw Constantine and Deborah after the show at stage door. Both were INCREDIBLY nice and generous with their time (and it was freezing cold!!). This was so great to see. Constantine could not have been sweeter.
-It was great to see the cast raising money to help the hurricane victims in NYC/NJ, and was also great to hear the cast appreciate the beauty of Shea's Performing Arts Center.
