giddyThe actors were great. Will Chase as Roger was incredible. He's a handsome guy, with a beautiful voice and nice timing and just gorgeous blue eyes that pop right out at you. I loved the way he thumbed his nose when he was nervous. Adam Kantor was a great Mark, very cute and bumbling and enthusiastic. I didn't care much for Renée Goldsberry as Mimi, she had a great voice but her interpretation was a little whiny. Eden Espinosa was an awesome Maureen. She has a voice very similar to Idina Menzel's, and her 'Over the Moon' was great. Tracie Thoms played Joanne, she's the same actress who played her in the movie and was just as great. Justin Johnston was very adorable as Angel, he hit all the right notes. Michael McElroy didn't quite sell the vocals as much as I wanted him to, but was a charming Collins.
The tickets were quite expensive - $23 each, but worth it, especially if you're sound works properly. For someone like me who never got a chance to see it live, it was a real treat. I hope they release it on DVD someday.
