Wow, BARE Samples

I just when on Sh-K-Boom to listen to some of the samples from BARE. All I can say is: WOW!

wow is right for the first few, but i dont like all of them- the song "see me" starts off well, then seems to grow more standarish and predictable when it tries to grow in intensity. i still want to see it, though. i love "are you there" and "you and i"

I agree with Broadway Matt about the weird endings - I never knew when to clap and was always afraid if I clapped I would interrupt the next song.

But I was simply amazed and enthralled by the show. I saw it the night before I left NYC, ditching half my family, but I knew I had to see this show. I was so right, anyone who is in New York just has to see this show. I was thorougly impressed with all the actors, acting-wise and certainly vocally, particularly Michael Arden and John Hill and Jenna Leigh Green. I was astounded (in a good way).

I enjoy "911! Emergency" for some reason...

The songs are terrible. The score is good, but the lyrics? The only song I see having merit is "A Quiet Night At Home". That truly captures the essence of an outcast high school student. But just some of the lyrics are so juvenile. "How about a baseball bat? There's one in my pants." And "Portrait of a Girl". That's a Britney Spears music video waiting to happen. I was disappointed.

Does it matter?
