Is this "Brad Understudy" Jeff Martin?

Jeff Martin is well known to be a very pathetic understudy.

I saw this production of the show MANY times, and caught Jeff Martin as Brad, Riff, and Rocky. He sucked in all three. You could tell he was unprepared ~ poor vocal shape ~ looked very nervous the whole time....eh. Sorry for all those hardcore Jeff Martin fans out there but - he kind of stunk in Rocky Horror.

i saw the show around 10 times and thought that alice ripley was ok, her understudy kristen lee kelly (who played janet when it reopened after september 11) was alot better and a whole lot funny. as for john jeffery martin i was unforunate to see him understudy both rocky and riff raff, i couldn't tell you which performance was worse.

I wasn't fortunate enough to be able to see the showre: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: Rocky Horror But from what I get from my cast recording Alice Ripley was definitely an acquired taste, as much as I like what she did vocally with the score now, it took me a while fully appreciate it. On another note, I think I would have given my right arm to see Raul Esparza as Riff Raff!re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: Rocky Horror

Yeah, I feel really bad for the people that meant to see Raul Esparza as Riff Raff, but got Jeff Martin instead. Mark Price, the other understudy, was pretty damn good though. Vocally anyway. Very strong high voice - perfect for Riff Raff.

I wonder if all these Charlie Brown icons are related? They all seem to sound alike. I always thought Charlie Brown was a nice guy. Guess I was wrong.

Speaking of Charlie Brown, Mark Price was in the revival cast. I got the chance to see him as Snoopy. He was absolutely wonderful! I wonder how he did as Charlie Brown.

Anyways, Price is no Raul by any means - but I definitely enjoyed his interpretation of the role of Riff. I can't believe how many people ripped Mark Price to pieces when he performed Time Warp on the Tonys. I thought he was perfectly marvelous!(But yes, I know, the whole performance would have seemed completely different if Raul was there instead.)

Hello? No one could be Raul. Was Sebastian Bach popular? Yes.

That was two years ago. I think people need to get over it.

Mark was in Mamma Mia! when Sebastian was around. Did you hate Jason Wooten's Riff Raff too?
I can see your obsession Seany.

I'm pretty sure he is. Although there isn't really anything to "get over" - I doubt there is anybody seriously fretting over this on a daily basis. I was really only joking since I love Raul so much, I thought that was indicated by the smiley...but who knows....

Trust me, this board is turning into a hunting log for rich weirdoes!
Just look at ShbrtAlley44's icon. That thing ain't normal.

Jason split the Riff Raff pants. He was most beautiful as a Phantom.

I agree, Jason looked cutest as a Phantom....

As far as Jeff Martin goes.....
That boi worked his ass of in his Broadway debut learning and performing SEVEN tracks.. I'd like to see you do that ****.. Raul, Jarrod, and Sebastian dod their roles eight times a week every week.. for understudies, it is a VERY sporatic.. until you do it, I don't think you should trash.....

besides, like I said, I enjoyed him each time I saw him.... I saw three Rockys and Jeffy was my favorite.....
