I know I’m late but I’m so happy for Clyde Alves!!! He’s always been a backup dancer and an understudy but then it was his time to shine. He looked so happy and natural with the others. I just adore this whole cast so much!!!!
Best musical I've ever seen and as a former Bwy baby I've seen alot of them. Was in NYC to celebrate my birthday and saw lots of plays and saved the musical, my favorite, for last. I was brought up loving the Gene Kelly movie but this was even better. Everything about this was perfect -- the dancing, singing, acting, orchestrations, directing, choreography, lighting, costumes and sets were sensational. I saw it last week in previews. The house was sold out - over 1,000 people in the theatre. The proscenium was draped with an enormous American flag. The conductor led the entire audience standing and singing, with pride, the National anthem. After a week of ISIS and more killings, we all sang our hearts out. At the end of the show the audience stood up cheering the performers. It lasted a good 15 minutes. They company kept bowing and we kept clapping. I will never forget this show nor my friends who were with me. I congratulate this company and have to say it was one of my all time favorite birthdays.
It is truly amazing how the man who is playing Gabie matches the movements of Gene Kelly. I wish was able to come see this show when it opens. Oh NYC, why are you so far away?
I think that Tony Yazbeck (Gabey) and Clyde Alves (Ozzie) should switch characters because they already look like the original characters. Also it's cool that Jay Armstrong (Chip) looks like Frank Sinatra who also played chip
By "the original characters" I presume you mean the original actors? That would be John Battles (Gabey) and Adolph Green (Ozzie). And Chip was played by Cris Alexander. Please stop referencing the movie version, which threw out a large portion of Bernstein's marvelous score.
