Hey all! I was lucky enough to catch n2n this thursday matinee at the ahmanson. It was for my birthday, so a past actor friend of mine hooked me up with house seats from alice ripley. I was in row M center orch. I thought the show was pretty much identical to broadway. Maybe a few changes here and there, but not many. The set looked exactly the same, and I didn't feel like the large theatre engulfed the set. As for the actors:

We had no understudies!!

Alice Ripley(diana): Beautiful performance. Her vocals were in good shape and she had me balling throughout the second act. I personally think she brought something more to the role than Marin did. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVED marin, but I thought alice just fit the part a bit better.

Asa Somers(dan): AMAZING VOICE, but he looked as though he was just gliding through the show not showing much real emotion (one of those "please lord get me through this two show day" faces.

Emma Hunton(natalie): WOW. This girl was soooooo amazing. I loved what she did with the part. Lovely voice this girl has!!!!!!

Curt Hanson(gabe): Though it's really hard measuring up with kyle and aaron, he did a great job. That last note of i'm alive made my jaw drop. I really didn't expect it.

Jeremy Kushnier(the doctors): He did great with the part. Loved his performance.

Afterward I went backstage into alice's dressing room! She took pictures and signed all my stuff. We talked for about 15 minutes and it was magical. What a lovely woman.

There's my review! If ya have any questions just let me know
