So, I saw The Wedding Singer for the second time yesterday. The theatre was PACKED.
This show definitely has the most energetic cast of any I've ever seen. I think that's part of what makes the show so much fun. The cast is happy and obviously having a ball, and it's kind of contagious.
I know that a lot of people still think that Laura Benanti is "miscast" as Julia, but she really has grown into the role (I saw the show in previews also, and there is a big difference). Her Julia is adorable and sweet.
Stephen Lynch is fantastic. 'Nuff said.
Amy Spanger is great. She has such a gorgeous voice. She seemed a little off during "Right in Front of Your Eyes." She totally missed the note for "annoyed" at the beginning, and it was really noticeable (at least to me). Other than that, she was great.
Felicia Finley is hysterical. Her "psycho" Linda is perfect. She did mess up one line though. She went "When I app-... When I applied to DeVry..." She managed to keep it together, even though she was fighting not to laugh.
To sum it all up, the show is fantastic.
