I'm surprised you would put Jessie in the feisty funny category. When I saw it she seemed either cold or perpetually on the verge of tears. Her Jenna seemed shell-shocked and nervous.

Sara is the only one who captured that sassy seen-it-all waitress attitude. She was perfect to me though I kind of wish I'd gone back for Jason or Gavin because her chemistry with Chris was just okay.

To me, Shoshana was a blend of earth mother warmth and dry delivery. I don't know if she sold a lot of the laugh lines on her own but as a whole the company made it a funny show.

Anyway, I hope Alison is in when I see the show next week. If so, I'll report back.

idk, I think i’d put Jessie in the more sassy Jenna category from the show I saw, but I think maybe that’s her acting style which I find to be quite pronounced. Def not as sassy as Sara though, who wasn’t really my fave style for Jenna, but I really enjoyed her show which had a lot of energy and her voice was unreal, omg. Her and Kat to me have had the best live vocals on the show, and just made the the singing seem so effortless. I love Shoshana and liked her Jenna but her vocal riffing style distracted me a bit because I just wanted her to sing the melody as written by and large, and she didn’t always do that lol!  I think my fave Jennas have been Kat and Stephanie. I’ve def cried more at their shows than any other and felt the most invested in their characters. It’s all splitting hairs though because like I said, all the Jennas I’ve seen have been strong.

This is more of a rush question...if I get there between 4am-5am tomorrow morning, do you think I'll get a ticket?
