I did not want to see Joey in the Boston run of TTB but once the show was over I was happy he was the lead. Great performance. His talent level truely impressed me.
My best friend who's a hard critic saw Joey and thought he was simply amazing, so into his character especially his interpretation of Jonathan's "What a Way to Spend The Day.."
I had also gone to see Christian Campbell in the tour and thought the same thing...that he was really stretching on the singing and flat a lot. But, I went back a few days later to a matinee to see his understudy Trey Ellett, who was much better.
"See. Who says boyband members are bad for theatre?? Some are good. "
Especially *this* boy band member, who started out doing theater before the "band thing."
Joe was very good as Jon. I did think he rushed through some of the dialogue and as a result his delivery caused some funny momehts to be lost....therefore his acting wasn't as solid as Raul (but not many people have Raul's natural ability to conform to a character).. Overall I was very proud of Joe. He did an incredible job vocally. Updated On: 7/31/03 at 08:45 AM
