I cannot tell you how much I love this portrayal of Jasper! This is the creep that I've imagined ever since I first heard about the play. I cannot get enough!
I can't stop watching this. Such a hauntingly beautiful song, so well-sung and well-acted, and such a fascinating display of the characters' conflicting emotions. Wonderful!
You did an absolutely amazing job with this song. The reprise of Moonfall never fails to send chills down my spine.
I'm honored to be the understudy for Rosa, and we're doing the 2013 Revival and I thank God the revival lowered the key.
Wow! Gorgeous! So sorry to hear the theatre has now closed. What a loss to the New Orleans theatre communtiy.
This is brilliant
This is awesome!!! I wish I'd been able to see it
This was a community theater production? You all were amazing!
Aw! Why is it gone? I played Rosa in 2010 and loved it :)
Can anyone explain to me why she seem so "willing" after she so persistently refuses him?
Ah, so the in-between baritenor, am I right? An amazing voice in either case!
The Board of Governors sold off 65% of the building for a restaurant in 2011. The restaurant recently opened, but the remainder of Le Petit Theatre has had to postpone their reopening twice. It is now slated to reopen in September of this year after being shuttered since the end of December 2010. There was and still is a great deal of controversy over the sale.
It was technically a community theatre production but the director/producer would hire the best talent when he wanted it. No one involved in their productions did any less than the highest level of work-it was expected. It was why we all wanted to work at Le Petit Theatre under Sonny Borey & his team. You knew you were working with the best. Sad those days are now gone.
Thank you for the wonderful comment, its appreciated.
The theatre is slated to reopen in 2013 at 35% of its former capacity. Their schedule will rely mostly on small plays, classics, and musical revues or scaled-down versions of popular classics. The Board have managed to reopen, but as a shadow of the theatre's former (and needlessly diminished) glory.
I am a first tenor to second bari.
Out of curiosity, is the John Jasper here a lyric baritone or a tenor? I can't quite tell with this audio quality.
