"Perfect for US": The NEXT TO NORMAL love thread! — Page 48

I saw the show first with Aaron and then the second time with Kyle...I first thought I would miss Aaron's performance..however...Kyle was great and made the role his own.

I'm going back to the show on Sunday so I'll be sure to review then

I comment on Alice and Bobby's facebooks sometimes, but I'm not under any illusions that I'm anything more than one of their many fans. Maybe some of the people who post excessively actually do know them personally. Or maybe they're just delusional. I heard that Alice didn't come out the stage door the other night because people were ignoring her requests for no posed pictures. It's a shame that a few idiots have to ruin it for the rest of us. I love going to the stage door and having my few seconds with the performers, but it's not about that anyway. It's about what happens ONSTAGE.

Okay, rant over. Back to the show. I'm seeing it next month and I kind of hope Meghann Fahy is on. I loved Jenn's performance, but I've heard nothing but great things about Meghann.

I thought Kyle looks the part more than Aaron and I prefer some of his line deliveries, but Aaron is much better vocally and I liked his overall interpretation more.

I agree. Kyle looks too old for the role, IMO.

And he's fine in it but I wasn't really blown away by Aaron's performance either...so I'm thinking it may just be the role. But I've yet to be blown away by a Gabe performance.

Aaron was better but Kyle is good enough...nothing spectacular but nothing awful.

I just think Kyle looks more the way a mother would dream up her son than Aaron does. Maybe he does look a bit too old, but it didn't bother me.

dramamamma, do you happen to know where you saw that interview? I would like to read it

Thanks a lot!

^ They were together at the Tonys.

Thanks for posting....I would have had NO memory of where I saw it.

Yes, she and JBW were together for awhile. (Off and on, so the scuttle says.)

Oooh anyone going that night? Tim's first.

Sadly, JBW never once got to play Melchior. Would have been so different, yet so devine.

I DID see him in the Public Theater's SPF Festival at the begining of the month in Departue Lounge with Nick Blamiere (sp?) He sounded AMAZING and was incredibly charming afterwards.

dramamama..I know he never played Melchior

I wish he did at some point but he was taken off the understudy list shortly after the show opened...anyone have any idea why?

It wasnt' shortly after it opened....it was more than 9 months later....because he was still listed when I first saw it (In August) and I saw it a few more times before it changed. So closer to a year.

And yes....it was really too high for him, but I still would have loved to see his acting choices!
