I thought he was decent. Definitely no Hunter or Jon, but he wasn't unbearable.
broadwaybaby, i'm with you man i thought fatone was awful i almost stopped the tape cuz i couldn't stand watching him anymore
He did pretty well for having just started the show and it being 9:30 in the morning.
you guys are too charitable.
he was awful.
An excellent question Quibbler. Posters should start to have reasons for their opinions.
I thought he tried, but failed. I wasn't impressed
he stood there with the exact same expression on his face for one thing.
And it wasn't even a good expression. I could go up to any guy in the street and say, "be frightened" and he would give me the exact same expression. Ive acted with many people who have never acted before, and he exibited all the same signs. He voice was not umbearable, but it lacked any real feel for the words and the emotions. When he sang, the song lost all entertainment value.
My opinion: not too shabby. Not amazing, but not awful. I was afrad he wouldn't act it, and he did. Sure, he was a bit shticky sometimes, but so is the show! After seeing his interview, I think he'll be good. Not great, but good!
I could sworn that urchin on the left was someone different. Look at the tape again! I don't have it on tape, but I remember her not looking like Trisha or Carla. And I'm positive I saw DeQuina.
i thought trisha was on the right by herself and then on the left were carla and another chick, not dequina
I, like a lot of people here apparently, thought that he wasn't bad... but not necessarily good either. After seeing him in Rent a few years ago, I remember walking away with the same feeling. Passable, but not destined for the original cast.
Anyone know what song is being sung tomorrow? I know it's Caroline Or Change... would they do "Lot's Wife" again after so recently having it on the Tony's?

Thank you, suddenlyseymour. I thought I was alone. I don't know, maybe I'm being too harsh, but I still think that pop stars should stay OFF of Broadway, and if they do decide to do a show, they should at least have a LITTLE talent. Really. I'm a very open-minded person, but come on! Little Shop is one of my favorite shows, and I hate to see the role done like that. If the tickets weren't so damn expensive, I MIGHT give him a chance, but they're not. I'd rather spend my $100 on something I was sure about, like Avenue Q...
Did anyone notice when Joey tried (tried being the key word) to do a run at the end of the song? Ouch. Admittedly, he was not as bad as I had anticipated, but he sounded like he was trying to NSYNC the song up.
I loved how the LSOH clips had Hunter in them...YAY!!!!
