So in the the time between this post and the last one I went to NEW YORK and I turned 18.
New York was amazing, holy crap. I had such an awesome time with my family in long island, but Manhattan is where it's at. I love it, its always so busy and every things always open all the time. If I could ever live there I would. I also saw a bunch of shows! Ill give mini reviews
Hairspray: I'm not going to lie the first 2 minutes of the show I was freaking out cause the Tracy's (Marissa Perry) "oh oh ohs" in the beginning of "Good Morning Baltimore" were very "interesting" sounding, however my apprehension subsided and she was fantastic. I wasn't too blown away by Ashley Parker Angel as Link however I do think he was sick on our performance so I'll give him a little slack
RENT: Rent was fantastic, I was a little bummed because I didn't get to see Tamyra Gray as MiMi and her understudy wasn't very good. Nonetheless it was very good. Eden Espinosa the girl playing Maureen was particularly fantastic, she definitely reminded me of Idina Menzel alot. Merle Dandridge also had a interesting take on Joanne and I appreciated that as well.
Spring Awakening; HOLY CRAP!I want to be in this show. Everyone is amazing, no one lacks at all. I got the understudy for Moritz and I was kind of happy because I dont totally love the new Moritz voice (Blake Bashoff) but his understudy was AWESOME. Everyone in the show is just so on point its amazing
Chicago; Very good as well, I didn't have the best attention span for this show as I should have. But I enjoyed it immensely
Aside from New York, I turned 18. I had a big party and I had super duper fun
