Y'ALL HOLY FUCKING SHIT
IF YOU EVER GET A CHANCE TO SEE DEH LIVE T A K E I T
IT WAS SO GOOD
THE SHOW FINISHED NEARLY SIX HOURS AGO AND THERE'S STILL SOME RESIDUAL CRYING
SO IMMA DO WHAT I DID WITH HAMILTON AND TALK ABOUT HOW AMAZING THE CAST WAS ONE BY ONE AND THEN THE OTHER STUFF

SO. WE BEGIN WITH EVAN.
ok all done with all caps
Now, Ben Levi Ross didn't play Evan at this production which I was super bummed about but holy hECC I was impressed and astounded by the guy who did.
His name is Stephen Christopher Anthony

And he is precious
I'm only gonna show pics for a few btw. Only if they're adorable or real pretty

BUT THIS BOY DID SO G O OD
HE DID THE WHOLE "CRY PRETTY MUCH THE WHOLE TIME THING" AMAZING
HIS VOICE WAS 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
HE WAS JUST 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
10/10 would see again

Ok!!

Z o e
So the person who played Zoe's name is Maggie McKenna and she was s o pretty (there was obviously more but l o o k)

So, her voice was a m a z i n g. She totally killed Requiem and her acting was just 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
She did a great job of portraying Zoe and I think she's great

A d u l t s

Cynthia!
Christiane Noll played Cynthia and she was epic!! She also aced the "cry during the whole thing" game and had a 10/10 voice. She got me to hate Cynthia a little less.

Larry!
Larry was played by Aaron Lazar and he was also good!! He did a good "To Break In a Glove"! If it was possible for me to hate Larry less, this guy would do it! He also had cool spiky hair so that's a plus

Heidi!!!
Heidi was played by Jessica Phillips!! I have a lot to say because she was p h e n o m e n a l.
Her "So Big, So Small" moved me to tears, when that song hasn't made me cry in almost a year. She made me cry during "Good For You", which is a total b o p that I've actually never cried during but b o y.

Ok I don't have a whole lot to say, but what is there to be said, she was great!!

A l a n a
Alana was played by Phoebe Kayobe and holy h e c c
She was great! Before I saw it, I never really understood Alana's presence and whether or not her character was very necessary to move the plot along, even after reading the script. I know that's kinda weird but I never truly processed how much of a mess Alana's character really was until seeing it. I just kinda thought she was there to move the story a little bit and be vocal support but b o y was I wrong. I realize now a lot more about Alana and her character and I feel as if Phoebe really brought out Alana's necessarity (idk if that's a word) through her portrayal.
Ok, outta my weird deep rant about Alana
Also her voice was 10/10 A++

C o n n o r
Marrick Smith played Connor and he was a m a z i n g
Although you could definitely tell that he was a grown ass man, I feel like that really brought out the character in an odd way. Also I didn't realize how greasy Connor's hair was in all the clips I've seen. That shit nasty.
But yeah! His voice was a lot deeper than the two (2) Connors I've seen, but I liked it!!

ALRIGHTY I SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST
THE INSANELY COOL JARED KLEIMAN
WAS PLAYED BY JARED B. GOLDSMITH

LOOK AT HIM.
HIS FACE LITERALLY DEFINES JARED KLEIMAN IN EVERY WAY.
HE ALSO HAD THE 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 VOICE
HIS LINE DELIVERY WAS AMAZING AND AHHHHHH
YOU WILL NEVER COME TO UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE THIS MAN

(and then I went to sleep and said I'd finish tomorrow)
(ok I'm up now)

SO SOME GOOD STUFF

During "To Break In a Glove" Larry threw Evan this towel and I'm not sure if it was meant to happen but Evan missed it by like mile and it took him like two tries to pick it up

At some point (after The Connor Project had been invented) all of these pictures of Marrick Smith as a child were just kinda everywhere that projections go and it was super cool

Another thing I didn't realize, the vast majority of the show is centered around projections

Near the end of "You Will Be Found" Larry is looking around at all of the stuff that is happening and just collapses into Cynthia's arms, it's the first time he cries during the whole show

SINCERELY, ME CHOREOGRAPHY

Also, I love the fact that the ending is very bittersweet

OH ANOTHER THING
During "So Big, So, Small" at the endish, Evan just collapses into Heidi's arms and they just cry for like two minutes before the scene change.

OK PICTURES

Ew it me
