Sutton Ross said: "As I said a week ago, his understudy is excellent, Can't wait to see him,he's got a gorgeous voice.

Noah

He was outstanding as the telephone guy in a Boston production of The Band's Visit.

 

Adrienne sounded fantastic.

Do you think if we pay to go see the real show, Nick might open his mouth when he sings?

She crushed it. He tried his best.

This show will be a true test to see how many Nick Jonas fans are out there.

Is Jamie *that* hard of a role?  It’s not like he’s playing King Lear.

He sings half the score and it is almost entirely sung through.

Well....I guess I'm going off-broadway on the sunday night I'm in New York. 

I guess I'm not precious about the material but I LOVE the sound of thick, interesting voices singing the score based on that "next 10 minutes" performance - especially from Adrienne Warren. I just want a cast recording now. 

Melissa25 said: "I had to raise the volume way up to hear Nick and then I couldn't really understand what he was saying. I can't stand when singers do not articulate well. I will still see this for Jason Robert Brown's music but it is sad that there appears to be very little chemistry. Adrienne sounds beautiful."

I think chemistry will arrive. They are in the middle of tech so they haven’t had an audience yet. Very weird to be doing major press when you’ve yet to perform the show in your own Bway home. 

I've said my piece on Nick plenty already (tl;dr yikes), but I am not connecting with Adrienne's performance from all of the clips I've seen thus far either. She's singing purely and loudly, and I am not arguing at all that she's a talented singer, but I'm not getting any hint of genuine emotions behind all of that. I don't believe any of the words she's singing. Neither of them are working for me. 

Please let there be a full-on press release when Noah Kieserman goes on for Nick Jonas.

Yikes that clip was bad.

The shrieking crowd

His total lack of vocal or acting ability. She’s going to blast him off that stage. 
 

I was actually going to book my tickets for this but after than I’m not. Unless preview reports are really encouraging.

It's actually worse than I thought it would be.

What a truly truly miscast choice to get Nick. 

When money is leading the conversation for art. Really sad
