CRAZY, JUST LIKE ME
TBG Theatre
October 2, 2011
Cast: Andy Mientus (Simon), Andrew Kober (Mike), Lexie Papedo (Lauren), Mike Russo (Stacey), Louis Sacco (Dr. Headman)
Notes: A funny and touching show with a fantastic cast. It’s not perfect, but nothing at NYMF ever is. It definitely has the potential for an off-Broadway run somewhere down the line.
Quality: A; recorded using iTalk. A tiny amount of background noise during quieter scenes, but it doesn’t impede anything.

CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
Neil Simon Theatre
August 23, 2011
Cast: Aaron Tveit (Frank Abagnale, Jr.), Norbert Leo Butz (Carl Hanratty), Tom Wopat (Frank Abagnale, Sr.), Rachel de Benedet (Paula Abagnale), Alex Ellis (u/s Brenda), Linda Hart (Carol Strong), Nick Wyman (Roger Strong), Joe Cassidy (Agent Branton), Brandon Wardell (Agent Dollar), Timothy McCuen Piggee (Agent Cod), Rachelle Rak (Cheryl Ann), Kristin Piro (u/s Betty), Bob Gaynor (Jack Barnes/Ben Casey/Pan Am Executive), Candice Marie Woods (Diane/Bank Teller), Angie Schworer (Cindy), Michael X. Martin (Mitch Miller/Dr. Wanamaker/Motel Manager/Tailor/Judge)
Ensemble: Joe Cassidy, Jennifer Frankel, Lisa Gajda, Bob Gaynor, Kearran Giovanni, Grasan Kingsberry, Michael X. Martin, Aleks Pevec, Timothy McGuen Piggee, Kristin Piro, Rachelle Rak, Joe Aaron Reid, Angie Schworer, Sabrina Sloan, Sarrah Strimel, Charlie Sutton, Brandon Wardell, Katie Webber, Candice Marie Woods
Notes: The best performance of CMIYC that I’ve ever been to. Includes a funny moment after Don’t Break the Rules, Aaron performing Goodbye flawlessly, and Alex giving the best performance of Fly, Fly Away I’ve ever heard.
Quality: A; recorded using iTalk. I went to see the performance with my sister so her commentary may be audible every once in a while. Some really quick audio cuts because of talking, but they don't get in the way of anything.

SPRING AWAKENING
ReVision Theatre
August 25, 2011
Cast: Billy Lewis (Melchior), Noah Zachary (Moritz), Elena Ricardo (Wendla), Taleen Dersdepanian (Ilse), Shira Elias (Martha), Chelsea Zeno (Thea), Sprio Galiatsatos (Hanschen), Spencer Kiely (Ernst), Michael Linden (Georg), Teddy Toye (Otto), Renee Bang Allen (Adult Women), Travis Mitchell (Adult Men)
Notes: Perfectly recorded. Includes a hilarious rendition of My Junk, Michael Linden’s amazing solo in Touch Me, and the saddest Whispering / Touch Me (Reprise) I’ve ever heard.
Quality: A; recorded using iTalk. The Mirror-Blue Night and Whispering / Touch Me (Reprise) have some background noise. The former is because of the sound of rain deliberately added to the scene; the latter is because it started pouring outside during the song. The only odd moment is during Totally Fucked when Billy sounds a lot closer for a few seconds. I was in the front row and was one of the few to get screamed at by him.
