"I have not stopped talking about
the show since seeing it"
When I first heard the song downloads of the upcoming musical BKLYN, ("Once Upon A Time" first) I had to purchase tickets immediately because of the outstanding quality of the songs and vocal performances I heard. I was blown away by the talent of the cast, and the beautiful music and lyrics performed on the tracks. Being a professional singer myself, with excellent pitch, I can't help but listen to all singing performances with a very sensitive, critical ear. I felt these singers were flawless and incredible when listening to them sing the songs BEFORE going to show, and it was my hope that the live experience would match the recorded ones. To me, a live performance is the most telling about the true quality.
I saw Brooklyn on Saturday, November 13th 2004 (8th row center) and was completely impressed and BLOWN away by the performances, as well as the costumes, band etc. The entire experience as a whole was FABULOUS! The ensemble cast was outstanding in both their acting ability, as well as their AMAZING and moving singing talents. Each in his/her own right is unique and lends their own style, power, and incredible vocal range to the success of the production. These will certainly be BIG shoes to fill if the cast is changed sometime in the future! I have not stopped talking about the show since seeing it and will recommend it to all the people I can. BRAVO cast, crew, band, costume designers (very creative!), and all associated with producing Brooklyn! You more than exceeded my expectations and enhanced my theatrical experience. I hope the show will run for a long, long time!!!! |
