Due to the snow, my classes on Thursday were cancelled, so a friend and I decided to lotto and my friend won.
Full cast, no understudies.
Dee: I liked her the first time, but I really liked her a lot more this time. Her voice was in tip-top form (which is good after how long she was sick) thus she nailed the vocals on 'The Wizard and I' and 'Defying Gravity' fabulously. Having gotten used to her acting, I was a bit surprised to see her changing things up here and there, which truly made her performance a lot better than I recalled. I truly enjoyed her a lot more than I did the first time and felt a lot more connected to her.
Katie Rose: Once again, best Act I to Act II transformation since Jennifer Laura Thompson! Her 'Popular' is ridiculously hilarious and I loved every second of it. During the classroom scene prior to 'Something Bad', she accidentally tossed her feather pen across the stage, so when Timothy was coming over to answer her question, he handed it back to her and she thanked him and went into her usual line about harping on the past. She and Dee had fantastic chemistry and truly are heartbreaking during 'For Good'.
Andy: Again, I love Andy as Fiyero. Andy (like Aaron) truly just scream everything that Fiyero is and truly does a great job. I really enjoy his approach to Fiyero in Act II and his voice blending with Dee was really great.
Alex: It was so great to see Alex, especially since the last time I saw Adam and didn't enjoy him much. Alex truly commits a lot to the character, so it was good to see him back.
Jenny: Once again, I really really love Jenny's Nessarose. She nails the innocence in Act I and the witchy-ness in Act II perfectly.
PJ: I'm so ready for PJ to leave it's not even funny. His schtick is getting so old and boring, he just needs to go.
Rondi: I still enjoy Rondi, because she truly seems to having a blast up there and never once comes off as boring as PJ.
That's pretty much all I have to say, but if you have anything else you'd like to know: Just ask.
