Noan Galvin Steps into the Sun — Page 3

See, qolbinau gets it! It's all in good fun, and it's not as if he's mocking posts about race relations or sexual harrassment. These are threads about Noah Galvin and Betsy Wolfe, which are not exactly hot-button topics. I guess I just don't understand why anyone would find it offensive, and, yes, I would also be flattered if he chose one of my posts to read.

I just came here to suggest that the show boycott has been so successful that DEH just broke the house record...in Noah's first week.

It's like trying to boycott Hamilton. You can't boycott something when tickets are so hard to get anyway.

Of course there was no "boycott". How would anyone contact the ticket holders to let them know how offensive his casting was? (scarcasm)

Like all the conservatives destroying their keurigs -- you showed that company, but destroyed your own property: they still have your money! If you stop buying tickets, you'll only hurt whoever comes in after Trensch....sort of, but not really.

A friend who was staying with us this past weekend saw the show yesterday and couldn't stop raving about the both the production and Noah. He said he sounded great

Saw the show again last night. I had low expectations (I saw Ben and didn't think anybody would come close to his performance). I must say, I was very pleasantly surprised. Noah was great - his voice was more than capable - actually stronger at points (although I didn't love his take on "If I Could Tell Her) and his acting was outstanding (I found myself feeling more "sorry" for Evan than I did when I saw Ben . The rest of the cast was top notch and the show really is great. So, I wouldn't hesitate grabbing a ticket (I got my orchestra row D seats 2 & 4 a week before the show for $199 each). If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.

I saw him Tuesday night as well, from the front row, and I thought he was wonderful! I saw Ben and MLB (also great), and while its hard to compare to Ben, I thought Noah really did a great job. He had a super strong presence, he sounded great, and he had a stronger lower range than MLB. I also loved his comedic timing. He added some fun mannerisms and "voices" throughout that brought new life to some lines/scenes. I also saw Olivia Puckett on for Zoe, and while I was looking forward to her performance, I noticed she played Zoe as a bit angrier and sterner, which I wasn't a huge fan of. There were times when I felt her energy didn't necessarily match the others, but she was still very good. Also, I must admit that I missed Laura's straight tone...it just goes so well with the reverb and echo they use in "Requiem."
