In which I'm overinvested.
In eight days, the Bare album and DVD (dudes, check it out) is released, and I am so very, very excited. Although I'll admit it, that when I first heard of this recording, I was almost as worried as I was excited, because this show means more to me than any other save for perhaps Rent, and I was afraid they'd screw it up somehow.
But, with each little clip I've seen I've become a little less worried, and that is a lot thanks to Matt Doyle who plays Peter. Yeah, he's got a fantastic voice and he looks and sounds like Peter, but above all I just feel so relieved when I hear him talk about the show. He gets it, he gets Peter, and you get the feeling that he actually cares about the story, cares about the characters, and that he isn't just singing the songs. And to an overinvested nerd like me, that matters.
I can't wait to hear 'See Me'. And 'Ever After' - James Snyder seems like a great Jason, too, from the little you got to see (the note he hits at the end of the line 'of such peace' hits me right there), and I'm looking forward to hearing them sing against each other other than in 'Bare'.
Oh, and there's another clip from BroadwayWorld, with parts of 'Are You There?' (heh, the guy who plays Matt looks kinda geeky - it's not how I picture Matt, but it's cute) and 'Role of a Lifetime'.
This could turn out sofa king good.

Not to go off topic, but is "Heroes" incredible or WHAT? :D
Dibs on Nathan (that big ol' slab o' hunky man)! :D
It is! And dude, I will fight you for Nathan. Milo is all yours from now on if I get Adrian Pasdar. Deal? :P
And to think you were 'underwhelmed' by it in the beginning. You so owe me. ;)
NO! Mine! FIGHT TO THE DEATH! :D
I was no degree of whelmed whatsoever. You obviously weren't trying to convince me hard enough. :D
