The Wedding Singer Preview (Live) — Page 2

what the show really has going for it (from seeing it today) is the high energy performances and commitment from the entire cast. Everyone up on that stage is committed to the material wholely. They are having a blast, and so the audience was having a blast. Stephen, Laura, Amy, Felicia, Kevin... ALL gave outstanding performances. I was completely satisfied by each of them and never thought any were miscast... even the much whispered about Benanti.

The show is very funny, and very entertaining. I missed a bit of the 80s so I wasn't quite up with all the references, but even without that previous knowledge, things were very funny. And i knew things were going over my head but that was never distracting. Things still worked.

A little tweaking here and there will really make this show a TONY contender! I'll have to post more thoughts on this later when its not 1am :)

Oh no--they cut Wonder? I like that song

---

Which song is "Wonder" again?

Good thing they cut "My 8 Lovers". Unfunny and slowed down the pace. What book changes were there? Is Glen more unlikable right off the bat now? Is Julia still an ice princess? And did they amp up Linda's part, by any chance? (Not that there were really any opportunities where they could extend her scenes and still be loyal to the movie, but by GOD is that woman HOT!)

---

i dont remember wonder either...hmmm....

---

there are so many people in this show i love, i can't wait

---

I don't see the "great" reviews on ATC. there's one thread and it's mostly negative esp about Benanti, Margo.

The characters still are not fleshed out. They seem to be forced to move from one plot point in the movie to another.

I also did not think they were all high energy and dedicated. The cast is talented, and some where really selling it, but some major cast members were far from convincing.

Dang, I might have to see this now in August. How was the attendance last night?

Being in the mezz sometimes attributes to that in some shows.

YAAAAAAY LAURA!

---

I'm seeing it tomorrow afternoon, and I'm way more excited now that I've read this thread! Yay!
