Posted: 1/21/07 at 1:22amIf what I overheard last Sunday was true, Phoebe was Ilse and Jenn Damiano was Anna this matinee. They swung Lauren out to give her experience in the role, I believe.

What? I thought Lauren was out watching in the audience.

Posted: 1/21/07 at 1:35amWait. So they exchange roles (understudies included) only in the matinee time?

Posted: 1/21/07 at 2:27amThe recording of "Those You've Known" does NOT do justice to the raw emotion that goes on on stage in that number. I was blown away when I saw it, and there's always something a little disappointing just hearing it on the CD. There's just not that raw pain in Jonathan Groff's voice.

I agree. I mean, dont get me wrong, the recording is SO SO pretty, and I love it, but I'd choose it live any day just because of the sheer emotion that goes into it. Honestly, I'd want Groff to get a tony nomination just for that scene ALONE, let alone the fact that he's also great in the rest of the show :P
but all three of them are just really. really. amazing.

"and we had a poster to be signed that is going to be auctioned off for bc/efa, and they were all so enthusiastic about it, and jonathan groff told us this story about he & bc/efa."
I saw you guys with the poster. I was like aww that's so great! haha.
I thought Pheoebe was amazing as Ilse. It was my first time, but you couldn't tell she was an understudy. She has suchh a beautiful voice.
#262re: Spring Awakening love
Posted: 1/21/07 at 3:53pmlauren swung out because she is the dance captain, and it's in the contract that the dance captain has to sit out and watch once every three weeks or so, which is why phoebe played ilse and someone else played anna. but lauren was still there, and well.

ahem... theres more goodies you know where :P just... incase anyones interested (*cough*johnnygallagherisSOamazing*cough*)
and yeah, I'm still confused as to why Krysta and Pheobe switched places though. Because if Krysta was out it'd make sense that Pheobe went on as Ilse, but Krysta was there, and she's the usual Ilse understudy, no? Did they just want to give Pheobe some more practice with the role?

Posted: 1/21/07 at 4:16pmWow, the guy singing 'Word of Your Body' is amazing. I'm so impressed.

"Did they just want to give Pheobe some more practice with the role?"
I think they probably did want to give Phoebe more os a chance to go on as Ilse.

Posted: 1/21/07 at 5:38pmgreat stuff on the forbidden site...I love the cast recording but seeing it live is something else....it tears your heart out more and I also think that Purple Summer is better live especially when they go accapello...it is more emotional
