This was my third time seeing the show, my first time seeing the new cast members. The originals, especially Jeffery Schecter, Natalie Cortez (who sounded great), and Jessica Golden, were all fantastic. Charlotte was ok, Deidre was great.
The new members were good as well. Melissa Loane was better than I anticipated, she was very on tonight. However, she looked a little old for the part, and I didn't fall in love with her the way I fell in love with Maggie when Mara Davi performed the role. The new Paul, Bryan Knowlton, was good, but I miss Jason Tam. Katherine Tokartz was fantastic, I really liked her, and Krysta Rodriguez was amazing as well.
E. Clayton Cornelious was Richie. This was my second time seeing him and I thought he did a wonderful job. David Baum was Al. He was really good. Finally, Grant Turner was on as Zach. He was pretty good, but he was talking with an English/Australian accent, which was ok, but I was kinda lost.
Overall, it was a really good show. After hearing some negative reviews of the replacements I was impressed that they did really well.

Posted: 8/15/07 at 7:02pmI saw her very early in the run. I think maybe October? I was not too impressed with her acting or singing, but she was decent.

I saw Nadine on the 28th.
She was fantastic, minus a bit of shaky singing when she wasn't belting.
Her dancing was superb.

Well, that makes sense. 
Thanks for the review! I'm glad to hear that the new cast members are doing well.
