Everyone else on the board seemed to hate it but I try to put things in perspective--they had virtually no rehearsal time (the leads that is) and I just loooooooooooove the show and the music, so heres my review of a show which I thought rocked the casba.
Aquarius opened with Lillias white who, naturally, was awsome. I thought the opening could have been more "spacey considering we're supposed to be hippies," but Lillias was really great.
Donna left something to be desired. It just wasn't good.
Hashish was good and done by the ensemble. It had more harmony than the CD, so it was enjoyable.
Jai Rodriguez gave an awsome performance of Sodomy. He really does have quite an awsome voice.
Ana Gasteyer has a really awsome voice suprisingly. She was belting quite awsomely in Dead End and it was really an awsome surprise.
I believe in love was done by shoshana bean and let me tell you, she can riff like no other white jewish girl! She worked the audience too--she's definately a huge star in waiting.
A wonderful rendition of Air was sung by the lovely Harvey Fierstein, who ued 3 notes to sing it but it was really funny.
Don't put it down was sung by Chris Seiber and John Tartaglia, who was quite funny. It was a cute little number.
I got life was done awsomely by Adam Pascal, a really great number with awsome movement.
A shirtless Gavin Creel did an awsomely rocking version of Going down, where he worked the crowd and I was surprised by the rock sound he used.
Ru Paul COMPLETELY forgot the words to my conviction. The freaking conductor had to yell them out and she still didn't get it at all. The audience didn't seem to appreicate it much.
Easy to be Hard was done AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAZINGLY by jennifer Hudson, who hit notes in the stratosphere that frankly gave me the chilliest chills ever.
Okay, this is getting long, so I'll just give you the highlights, if you want more, post that you do and ill give you all the songs, but this is getting long.
Electric Blues I have a few things to say: TOXIC AUDIO IS TOO AMAZING AND THEY NEED TO BE ON A BROADWAY STAGE ASAP BECAUSE THEY BLEW THE ROOF OFF, well in my opinion anyway.
Black Boys/white boys: Brought the house down-kathy brier, ann harada among the 6 girls, and it was just ridiculously amazing.
Frank Mills was cute done by the original Chrissy.
Walking in Space had NUDITY apparently--I didn't see any because I was too far up, but apparently some people get NEKED!!
3-5-0-0: Had a nice little tap number in it when it went uptempo.
Let the Sunshine in was awsome with Dequina more riffing it up!! The ensemble really was amazing and was on stage for 90% of the show. They really deserve a lot of credit--they were awsome.
Yes, people kept cutting lines off from one another and words were messed up and it didn't seem as well put together as one might think it would be if they spent $2500 on a ticket, but I didn't spent a tenth of that and I had loads of fun!!
OOOH!! AND Here's my story!!
During intermission, Brian Stokes Mitchell walked by!!
After the show when I was walking to the car, JOHN TARTAGLIA, Gavin Creel and Ann Harada walked by me!!! I was too scared to say anything though.
All in all, a GREAT NIGHT!!!
