I couldn't find the thread about the show currently playing off-broadway...
I had the pleasure of seeing this beautiful piece of theatre the other night. Yes, it drags at times, its low budget etc, but the music and performances make up for it. Nick, Ciara and George are seriously amazing. Also can I just say how much Nick looks like Larson with the glasses....omg.....getting back to the cast. Nick really captures the personality I would think a struggling artist would have, he has a great voice and his acting is on point. Ciara Renee. no words can describe her performance. Truly remarkable, she has a very powerful voice and she is a very deep actress, she will be the only thing that will bring me back to Wicked, she has to play Elphaba at some point. George Salazar was quite good as well. I thought his acting was better then his singing voice but that wasnt really a big deal. His role is a little awkward in hows it's written IMO.
Yes, the production is lacking in set, audio etc. With that said, I ADORE the set piece on the ceiling, it is so cool and is utilized well in the show. The band was great but I thought the mics on the actors were too loud when speaking but too low when singing.
House was pretty full.
