Two things sort of
This is going to be another one of those posts where I make a list where every point is somehow related to Spring Awakening with not-so-subtle links hidden all in the text and people wonder if I have hobbies. Actually I do have a project going on that I will inform you about at a later time so I can flock it.
1) Matt Doyle. msmoocow just linked me to this performance he did the other night -- this song is like perfect for him. It hits on all of the best things about his voice and he sings the shit out of it. Kay.
2a) BUENO IT'S ROBI! Robi Hager replacing Andy Mientus in the Spring Awakening tour. It's not a secret that I've never been on the Mientus bandwagon, and so I can't say I feel like I'll miss him. I'm super super excited for Robi as Hanschen -- I love what I've heard of his Hanschen in the past and I think it's probably the role overall that suits him best (though his Touch Me solo as Georg is epic for sure). The sad part is, I highly doubt they're going to let him understudy Melchior, and I am devastated that the world keeps on teasing us with these small chances of Buenochior happening and then they DON'T. Just let Robi go on for Melchior. Just once. By this point, he deserves it.
Until it happens, I will default to assumption that, like Rob Devaney as Adult Men, Buenochior would've been the greatest Melchior ever to grace the stage, if only you had given him an opportunity to play the role.
2b) Speaking of people who did not go on for certain characters in Spring Awakening, I'm still devastated that Jenn Damiano left before she was old enough to play Wendla.
2c) Speaking of people who were in Spring Awakening but didn't go on together, it also kills me that Alice Lee and Matt Doyle never had a chance to go on as Melchior and Wendla together. Alice's voice seems like... completely unexpected for a Wendla understudy, and I sort of totally love it and the way it works with Matt's.
THE END.
