After seeing Leap of Faith last month, I told my friend Eric (the one that got the tickets at a good price), we should start doing a video blog reviewing musicals... Because we seem to Starbucks afterwords and talk about the show we just saw....
So we didn't do that for American Idiot, where we basically asked, Ok what was that all about, and it took me half way threw Jersey to figure it out was that life doesn't necessarily goes the way you planned it, or wanted it, and well it's not necessarily a bad thing.
We didn't do it for Catch me if you can either, which again we were surprised how a movie turns into a musical and worked. We both loved it, saw it in previews with the full original cast. Aaron was great and so was Norbert & whats her name.... oh ya Kerry Butler....
Well when he asked about Leap of Faith (to get tickets) I wasn't exactly trilled. I pictured another horrible movie musical. (Which I always say) and now with Catch me and Leap... well, I need to stop the hate of the movie to musical... (however I'm still afraid to see Ghost the musical.... haha)
While, we both loved the show. Eric was confused in how or why the "4th wall" got broken, at times, and I explained that was all.... Back to the Future type of thing (and I refuse to see that movie to musical... Back to the Future the musical.... and if it does come out in 5 years... I want credit and paid for the idea.. haha) after that explanation it worked for him. I originally only wanted to see it because I wanted to see Raul in person, and I wasn't let down one bit. He has an amazing "original" sounding voice. And the whole show worked well for me. Even so I can see me wanting to direct it and star in it at the same time in a community theatre setting... haha..
So I give Leap of Faith 2 must see's!!
Maybe this being the first review... Ladies and Gentlemen the "must see's scale"!!!
* 3 must see's!!! (Next to Normal type.... RUN DON'T WALK TO SEE IT NOW!!!!! and you need a brain to understand it)
* 2 must see's!! (Really good show I recommend it!!)
* 1 must see's! (fair to midlin?)
* must see? (Reserved for the Lion Kings and Phantom of the Operas, which yeah its ok already..... too much producers making too much money for too long, or for no reason)
* must unsee's it (Flippin Forget it, don't see!!!!)
