His voice amazing. He still has to learn how tell the story. This is a song you don't sing... This is a song you need to beg. You need the audience to believe you are in complete panic. He has the voice to do it but not the experience...
@@christinebrett4825 I was wondering the same thing. Even as a guitar player myself I don't see the need. It's fine and I loved this performance I saw at the Proctor's Theater in Schenectady NY. It's such a dramatic song. I'd say let him act it out from the beginning. But I'm no theater guy, just a rock & roller who sang JCST in choir way back in high school. All in all this show was a wonderful experience. I loved it!
Seriously impressive. Hopewell's voice is incredibly flexible and flips into those high notes in a way I have not seen of many others in the same role. He understands the assignment as the character and the notes he has to sing.
He is absolutely amazing! The most important things are having really good breath support and matching the pitches with your voice. And yes, he totally understands who he is and who he is playing in the show. I am proud of him and his friends too!
I just saw the show in Reading. I am a huge fan of the Ted Neely version and saw him perform live twice. So...knowing the guitar was going to be used, I was skeptical. But he did a great job, guitar did not distract at all. It was a great version of JCS!!
