I saw both. Jessica was really good. She belted the part in Buenos Aires instead of singing it in head voice like the others do, which I really enjoyed. She obviously had the dancing down and gave a great performance. I really enjoyed Laurel, and gave Christina a run for her money. I am a big fan of Christina's performance in Evita and I thought that Laurel had such a unique personality that she gave to Eva and I really enjoyed it. She really made it her own.
I saw Laurel as well (in her first performance actually) and she was beyond wonderful. She brought such a freshness to the role and was just stunning dressed as Eva.... now I wish I could see her as the Standby in Wicked :P
I still wonder if the new casting got worked out how much longer this could have ran. 6 months?? another year??
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
I'm waiting for a twitpic or instagram pic of Max post-mustache...if he shaves.
I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)
I went to the final performance. They added a few things here and there throughout the show (a split in the air during Buenos Aires, tumblesaults during one number, though that might have been there before...what stood out the most was during Charity Concert—Max’s “forever more” when he sings On This Night of a Thousand Stars is usually shorter, but it had to be at least 20 seconds. That as well as And The Money Kept Rolling In, but there was nothing changes—just a ton of cheering and a huuge reaction from the audience).
Michael started the speeches and spoke the most, but Elena and Ricky spoke as well. Someone posted a video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCM40FBYcu0 It mostly focuses on Ricky for the beginning, but you do get to see what everyone said.
