GDLoT Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Once again thank you to everyone for sharing their experiences with this amazing show! So YES! please keep posting recaps & details, they are much appreciated, even if I don't always comment on them. Heck, I've kept a few of plaid's notifications just in case I do get a chance to go back to see AI again. So shout out to plaid ducky for all the useful info & details! That bit about Michael, John & Stark - 'I fuckin' love you guys' just made me AWWW & hearing how they all teared up, were a mess and when, brought tears to my eyes. gonna miss hearing about them in AI. They are like family. It's also nice to know that there are others here who have felt the same way as myself sometimes. So all around. BUT now we begin a NEW chapter of Davey & Justin and YEP! I'm another who is excited to hear about how it goes for them! The NEW blood will be baptized tonight! HUGE shoes to fill! I would still love to see this show again no matter who is in the roles, IT'S. THAT. AMAZING! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oda Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Am I the only one that didn't like Libby? Her voice doesn't match the music. And she was swimming in the Princess Jasmine costume. No i agree i love Libby, but i don't think her voice fits the EG role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaid ducky Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Am I the only one that didn't like Libby? Her voice doesn't match the music. And she was swimming in the Princess Jasmine costume. To me, she's gotten way better than from the first time I saw her on. That being said, her 'Extraordinary Girl' is not my favorite but I do like what she does with '21 Guns.' Also, it was strange at first to see Krystina in a mix of Christina's and Libbys's old costumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain peroxide Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I couldn't help thinking Christina was way better, but Libby did a good job filling her shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkingAlone Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) I got a video from the last songs from Billie, Michael, and John!! I was in the front row so its a pretty good view! Edited March 1, 2011 by WalkingAlone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDM Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Am I the only one that didn't like Libby? Her voice doesn't match the music. And she was swimming in the Princess Jasmine costume. I am just hoping she gets better. And is able to spin around at top speed and sustain that high note like Christina did since that is the only thing that really makes it worth sitting through that scene. To me. Not my favorite scene of the show, to say the least. Really going to miss Sajous in that part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Just a reminder: Aspen is scheduled to go on for Extraordinary Girl the matinee of the 5th. She's awesome & fierce so if you can see her go on before she leaves. And I was so happy to see Leslie on for Heather yesterday afternoon. It's been a while since I've seen her on for Heather so it was great that she got to go on last time with Michael. ETA: Here's the little things that Stark did during "Jesus of Suburbia" including the riff that Esper loves but Stark's not really allowed to do. Heh... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1641504/last.mp3 I loved that! Especially the thing during I Don't Care, it sounds really cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vla313 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Yeah, Libby's definitely better than the first time I saw her as EG, so hopefully she'll keep on growing as she gets more comfortable with the role. (Her EG is better than her Heather, vocally though). I am sooooo curious to see how Justin and Davey are going to do and really want to go tonight. But I deliberately scheduled myself to work b/c the last time I did that (see an amazing last performance, then see the first of a new cast) was the original revival cast of Hair, and the second cast sucked so bad. lol. *holds out on seeing them until Sunday* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripe Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Nope, I don't love Libby in the role, either...but hopefully she will grow into it. Aspen was much stronger. Jeanna never did grow into her Heather role....I just do not like her in that role at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love her but haven't caught her as EG. But I have IN tickets for the 6th. AI overload man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oda Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Jeanna never did grow into her Heather role....I just do not like her in that role at all! Really? I like Jeanna quite alot actually, except that one note she always does so weird. (When she sings "I don't feel any shame, I won't apologize") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDM Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Jeanna never did grow into her Heather role....I just do not like her in that role at all! I actually really like her as Heather. And she and Will really get down on that couch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizziebix Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I actually really like her as Heather. And she and Will really get down on that couch... Well, she and Esper did! We'll see what happens now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundaymorning6am Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I actually really like her as Heather. And she and Will really get down on that couch... Jeanna really did grow into the role. She was awful and slow the first time I saw her, and that was a few weeks after she started, and she's just gotten better and better. I really like her now.

plaid ducky Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 The reason that they changed that note was because she couldn't get it how it was originally. Jeanna's still growing on me. I've realized that she has her good days & meh days. Her 'Nobody Likes You' is probably the least favorite thing she sings and her 'Rock & Roll Boyfriend' is the favorite. Also, I noticed that she adds an extra hip during the dance sequence at the end of JOS. I watched Leslie on Sunday afternoon to see if it's a Heather thing but it's not. *shrugs* I can't wait to see the new understudies (and Chase!Johnny) go on. I'll miss Gallagher's plaid Johnny shirt. And Esper's blue hair, but I'm curious what they do with Justin's since he mentioned on Twitter a flatiron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripe Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Yes, I must admit the Jeanna/Esper on the couch was always quite hot. Mary's Heather was a lot more...cool and removed or something. But I did find her singing far superior. Jeanna sometimes seems like she is ahead of the music, just very slightly. But enough to notice it and it puts me off. I heartily dislike Jeanna in Rock N Roll BF. Her singing, that horrible dress, the dancing, her hair....it all rubs me the wrong way. Just my opinion, though. I loved Mary in the role from Berkeley, so that's who I always picture in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaid ducky Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Ahahaha! Out of her, Leslie & Libby, her R&RBF is the best. But I wish that they gave her Libby's dress because she wore it one time and it was actually flattering on her. But yeah, Mary is Heather for me.

In other news, I loved reading everyone's recaps from the weekend. Keep them coming! I haven't heard of anything. I'm awaiting for news of someone after Davey... and the other cast member leaving. We'll see. And if anyone is curious, here's LNOE from the Sunday matinee with Leslie as Heather: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1641504/LNOE227m.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
