Posted: 10/14/08 at 1:33pmI'm sure everyone will say this, but hands down Allie Trimm for me.

IMO - Allie Trimm was my least favorite part of the show.
I enjoyed Ariana Grande and Elizabeth Gillies the most, and could see Eric M. Nelsen doing comedy as opposed to musical.

Aaron Simon Gross and Al Calderon, in my opinion...after their voices finish changing, that is.
I also agree with Allie Trimm

Posted: 10/14/08 at 2:55pmI thought Eric M. Nelsen was excellent. I know that he doesn't have the best voice in the world, but his acting and dancing? I thought he was great and really entertaining. And he has stage presence coming out of his ears.

Posted: 10/14/08 at 2:56pmAllie Trimm, Elizabeth Egan Gilles, Aaron Simon Gross and Corey Snide [Evan alternate] I think for certain will have careers down the line. Ariana, Brynn and Al Calderon as well.

Posted: 10/14/08 at 3:08pmI saw Corey Snide, and didn't like him at all. His acting was blah, it never changed, his voice was scratchy, and he used his hands too much. Part of it may have been the character... Evan isn't the most exciting of students, but whenever he was talking I felt distanced from the show. He was definitely the weak link.

Posted: 10/14/08 at 3:12pmI can actually see all of the kids doing more shows in the future.They all have amazing talent.

i would say Ariana, Allie, Elizabeth, Brynn and Eamon
although i think Eamon goes with out saying since hes already done so much more then the other kids.
Shows Seen This Year: 13, A Chorus Line, Avenue Q, Chicago, Curtains,Gypsy,In The Heights,Legally Blonde,Mamma Mia,Spamalot,Spring Awakening, and The Little Mermaid

Posted: 10/14/08 at 3:32pmI didn't really like Allie all that much...she was fine, but I thought Elizabeth was fantastic. She was by far my favorite in the entire show, and Ariana was excellent as well.
And hang on, when did you win the discus?
#13re: Which '13' Cast Member...
Posted: 10/14/08 at 3:35pmI think they'll all go on to Spring Awakening. If the two shows stay open the Spring Awakening casting people would have pretty easy job.

"although i think Eamon goes with out saying since hes already done so much more then the other kids." Although he's an understudy Henry Hodges has been in 4 other Broadway shows.
I think they all have a future in acting, weather movies (which Graham has already been in) or comedy, which someone mentioned Eric Nelsen with.
I would definitely love to see Ariana, Elizabeth, Allie, Al & Eamon on the Broadway stage again though. But I'm sure they all have a bright future.

Posted: 10/14/08 at 3:48pmNever seen the show, but I have seen Brynn MANY times (I know her), and I think she probably does, although most of them will probably have sustainable careers later.

Posted: 10/14/08 at 4:10pmI actually really liked Corey Snide when I saw him in the role of Evan this past Sunday. I thought he played it differently than Graham Phillips, a little more innocent perhaps. And he did some riffing on some of the notes, and that I appreciated. I like it when the understudy mixes things up a bit. Though I kept wishing the role required more dancing because to see him dance would have been wonderful...with his amazing Billy Elliot background and all.

Posted: 10/14/08 at 5:08pmAllie, Elizabeth, and Ariana are all amazing :) But Allie's just got MAD... likeability. haha
I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.

Posted: 10/14/08 at 5:18pmEamon's voice still has not changed and so when it does, it won't be the same. It won't be cute or high or anything like that. He will proboly be a choreographer when he grows up.

Allie Trimm had a great voice, but she didn't quite have enough presence in my opinion. Elizabeth Gillies, on the other hand has star quality! I can definetly see her going far.
Also Al Calderon, Brynn Williams, Ariana Grande, and Aaron Simon Gross

Listening now, and I think Allie Trimm has such a beautiful voice.
Not that it's relevant, but i think that Elizabeth Gillies is absolutely adorable.
