Schenectady reviews
Here is the first review from Tuesday's opening in Schenectady. This reviewer obviously gets the story and loved Drew's performance.

Re: Schenectady reviews
Another great review -- this one from a blog in Albany. The closing sentences of the review say it all:
"So let’s do the math now: Elton John + an amazing story + superb cast = a great night at Proctors! Get there before Billy and crew dance out of the theatre Sunday afternoon."

'and another lad alternates as Michael.'
With Sam's departure, is this simply an inaccurate assumption by the reviewer? Unless I have missed something (which is possible, as I have been traveling on business the past month), the Tour is down to one Michael - the multi-talented Jake.
With just three Billys and just one Michael, the Tour appears to be running on close margins: one Billy on stage each night; one as backup; one as tall boy. One Michael in every performance. Zero time off for the next three weeks.
It would give me sleepless nights, if I were the producer!

Re: Schenectady reviews
I have tonight's performers (which I'm not at liberty to divulge until about 1/2 hour before curtain -- unless a forum member going to the show tonight posts it from the lobby cast board earlier). I can assure you, there are two Michaels -- the other besides Jake is a very familiar face. Again, since the name hasn't been documented anywhere, I cannot post it until show time.angelenroute wrote:With Sam's departure, is this simply an inaccurate assumption by the reviewer?

Another generally positive review -- this one from Metroland, billed as the capital region's alternative weekly -- entitled Mining Your Emotions:

Re: Schenectady reviews
A somewhat mixed review - doesn't much like the book, or the music, but raves about the actors.
