Analyzing Aaron Tveit & Gavin Creel singing "Take Me Or Leave Me" from the 2016 MCC Miscast Gala. Join my mailing list for weekly updates & music recommendations: www.mateochavezlewis.com/emai...
Great analysis... and to state the obvious, the pop/classical choices made reflect the characters... Joanne is more straight-laced traditional and Maureen is more pop/free-flowing.
Yes it's the same four notes in a different rhythm! The first time I heard Take Me Or Leave Me I thought it was "Lean On Me" at first, and I was like... I didn't know this was from RENT! 😂😂
Really enjoyed this. Their follow up Miscast was also excellent 'In His Eyes' from Jekyll and Hyde ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uF8AtY28lNk.html
So unfair to show this to gays. Should be illegal. Would love to hear you break down this classic: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BQlZbwz6ii8.html
I love the chemistry but not the song choice.. just totally lacking for me. Makes me need to hear the original. I think both men are capable of way better. I think all of your observations were spot on, I just don't love what they did with it, almost felt like pros doing Karaoke.
