"I loved how the characters seemed to reach right out into the audience and pull you in"
I'm an aspiring Broadway actress, so naturally, musicals are my passion. I caught the Wicked bug after seeing the Tonys in June and decided I had to come up to NY and see the show. I had the opportunity to choose a second show to see, and in searching for one, I happened upon the Brooklyn website. Lo and behold there was Eden Espinosa--Idina Menzel's understudy--starring in a brand new musical that would be previewing while I was in NY! Naturally, I made my mom purchase tickets and I was off to NY.
I found the show to be so captivating and I loved how the characters seemed to reach right out into the audience and pull you in. I've never seen on Broadway a more intimate show. Well done! I was quite taken, however, by Ms. Espinosa's stellar voice--I couldn't believe that it sounded even better in person than it did on the recording! I told someone the very next day, "I came to NY wanting to be Idina Menzel... but now... I want to be Eden Espinosa!" Brooklyn is a phenomenal show that is absolutely refreshing in every way, from the down-to-earth actors to the soulful music to the enchanting costumes. I hope to come see the show again soon... but until then, I highly recommend it to anyone in search of quality entertainment! |
