Just got home from the Tommy reunion concert and I must say, I thought it was excellent. Done in true concert style with screen behind the actors with photos and video from the original show playing in sync with what was happening in each scene.
Personally, and by no shock really, I thought Marcia Mitzman was absolutely amazing. If I didn't know better, I'd say she's been a steady Broadway performer for years. A close second was Cheryl Freeman as The Gypsy. She totally brought the house down. Michael Cerveris was great, as usual. I adore Sherie Rene Scott but she didn't blow me away like I thought she would. I think almost everyone there was close to sounding how they did on the cast recording but part of her singing just seemed off. Plus, in the break down of the song in each act, her name was spelled wrong. Way to go Rockers.
Overall, I thought it was a great night and had a ton of fun. I was afraid that some of my friend who hadn't seen the original wouldn't be able to appreciate it as much but they did. I also have to mention....I am kicking myself because I missed Marcia Mitzman at the stage door. I'm totally of the mindset that actors are not required to greet fans but....considering she was the only person I wanted to meet, I was pretty bummed.
