MCP Joseph - Vosk, Espinosa & Newell

[macbeth]

I wasn't thrilled when they announced that Noah Galvin would replace Ari'el Stachel (anyone know why?) but they got me re-interested today with Eden Espinosa, Jessica Vosk and Alex Newell as the 'Narrator'. 

I wonder if they'll split the part or sing together? Or both?

I saw a production with three narrators and they mostly split it up, but I think sang together in the finale. It’s probably flexible.

I went from not much interest at all to absolutely no interest whatsoever with this announcement.

Yeah, I thought Stachel was a great (and unexpected) pick and I’m not entirely sure about this second announcement. But I have a ticket anyway, and I already love the show, so I’m going to enjoy myself, gosh darn it.

I just think this was an odd show for Manhattan Concert Productions to choose. It's not like Crazy for You or Parade where there are a ton of meaty ensemble parts made for a truly "starry performance."

In fact, aside from Joseph and the Narrator, everyone else seems to be virtually a bit role woven into the greater chorus tapestry...excuse the metaphors.
