Saw the show tonight. It's in fierce shape.
Wopat makes me cringe. He was a little too reminiscent of Mr George (Hamilton). Maybe he'll grow on me like Mr George... or maybe not. Time will tell. Far too many mistakes for someone who's been in the role before. I say bring back Eric Jordan Young!
Shawn Emamjomeh was out tonight and Mark Anthony Taylor went on in his place. Was definitely missing Shawn, but Mark did a great job. He didnt disappoint as the jury.
During the summation was the best, though -- "Yes, you may take her life, but it won't bring Casely back!" Mark: That's news to me...
Dana Moore in for Krissy Richmond, currently. Dana's fabulous -- I've just never been a real fan of her Hunyak. She gave a great performance, but I missed Krissy.
Michelle Potterf also out, though Gabby Garcia gave a HOT performance as Kitty. I always love seeing Gabby go on. She's such an underappreciated talent in that cast.
Terra MacLeod: Solid. She gives a cold Velma portrayal which takes some getting used to.... Spectacular dancer.
Tracy Shayne: Love, love, love her, but I don't need to tell you all that. She gave a great opening night performance and despite a few mic troubles in the 1st act she was strong, hyper, fiery and everything I expect (and know and love) from her as Roxie. It's really great to have her back in the company.
Roxane Carrasco: Fierce as usual. Extra spunk tonight, lots of adlibs, incredibly enthusastic. Superb performance as always. Never less than an absolute joy to see her onstage.
Ann Nathan: She's a great Mama, but I'd like to see her have more direction. She seems to play Mama in two opposite directions... She's a phenomenal talent, but I think I'd enjoy her more if she picked one of those two directions to run with.
Ensemble: In fabulous shape. Listened to the people behind me spend 20 minutes talking about how gorgeous Michelle DeJean is and how funny Michelle Robinson is. There are some new boys I didn't recognize and I'm too lazy to go get my playbill.... and I'm thrilled to report that Dan LoBuono is back. YAY!!
This is slightly incoherent, so on that note I think it's off to bed with me
