Nov. 16th, 2010 12:26 amOK, first off, I'm still high off of Gavin Creel's third and last Birdland show. He was even more corny and adorable than at the first show. And there were even more new songs! All of which were wonderful... and most of which made me want to bash Jonathan Groff in the face (or crotch, whichever was closer) with something heavy. Honestly, I caught Gavin wiping tears away after one or two songs. ;_;
That being said... Dude. Hobbit table. XD Sheer awesome. XD And so much more, but I'm just too tired and I can't even try to write it all.
Mainly, the point of this post was to share this article about Hair's new tour cast. The whole article is awesome, but here was my favorite two paragraphs:
"Hair's touring company is led by a phenomenally talented collection of actors. Burkhardt is perfectly cast as the sexy, mercurial Berger. As likely to charm a woman in the front row with his long dark hair and easy smile as to flirt with the man sitting next to her, Berger is the unofficial leader of the leaderless Tribe. He's the man who they all want to be. Or do. Or both."
Seriously? OMG, awesome. XD And so true!
"Burkhardt infuses the character with an undeniable magnetism, an effect heightened through his clear onstage connection with Remillard's Claude. The characters Claude and Berger are engaged in a mutual and uninhibited triangular relationship with Sheila. The two men love one another, and Remillard and Burkhardt communicate that intimacy in an entirely casual and naturalistic manner. They have developed something powerful that brings an even greater depth to the story, moving the audience to even greater investment in the pair."
*wobble eyes* Also, so true! The ease of the relationship between the two of them was one of the most beautiful things about this cast. I adore them so unbelievably much. And I seriously love how Sheila only got a brief half-line mention in an entire paragraph of gushing about Paris and Steel's Claude and Berger. :D
Now, go read the rest of the article! It's not very long and it's totally worth it.
Side note: So glad they seem to have found a blowdryer for Paris' wig. It looks much better now... a.k.a. almost like his real hair. ^_^
