Who is the Jamie u/s?"

The standbys/understudies haven't been announced yet.

I'm getting the sense that they're going after the same audience as Romeo + Juliet. This is for the younger crowd, and I swear they're gonna have Nick Jonas shirtless in this thing for no particular reason.

I think I'm one of those fans of the show who will never be satisfied with anyone other than Sherie and Norbert.

Jamie is usually shirtless in “Nobody needs to know,” (as per the original, revival, and movie) due to the plot implications of the scene.

Goulet, of course! He did the original workshop!

I think Nick sounds fine here. His biggest problem is that they paired him with a powerful vocalist who will most definitely outshine him. Adrienne sounds incredible. Am I fully convinced that this part needs such a powerful vocalist? No, but I honestly don't care since I will be playing (half) of the inevitable album A LOT.

She sounds wonderful.

I thought he sounded fine in the beginning of the song. The option-up at the end is the bigger problem for me: he doesn't have the goods to do that and it would sound better without straining to hit the notes.

He sounds much better than he did in Les Mis...faint praise?

It's not just that he sounds bad.

It's why is this broadway now?

Why is it Nick Jonas sells tickets and not "Ya know who would be incredible as Jamie and could ACT it?"

Depressing

That's why the best version of The Last 5 Years, better than any stage performance, is just the album.

 

Hair and The Last 5 Years have that in common. Their original cast albums are better than any live production.

Watch any video or live clip - he always looks like he's straining to hit every note.  That's just his style.

I'm looking forward to seeing him do the whole show.
