Oh wow I WAS way off, minus Santa Fe, which he did sing really well. I'm a total fansie so any song from that show I LOVE. I'm just sad he didn't go full NYC accent on it. It felt too posh and enunciated for a Jack Kelly song but he still sang it incredibly (just not as good as Jeremy Jordan).
My jealousy just increases so much every time you post more about who you got to see and MEET in the Broadway Concert Series and this is no different. While I do believe Laura Michelle Kelly (originated the role on the West End with Gavin Lee BEFORE Broadway and won an Olivier for it then joined the Broadway cast later on (she's done other things too but I'll hold my tongue on that hehe)) and Julie Andrews were better Mary Poppins than Ashley, she's still fabulous, never knew she played Belle too that's a news to me, and Josh just SLAYS me with the Tarzan OBC recording every time I listen.
I love the choices in songs that they did, but I'm SCREAMING over the fact that they did Aida because I LOVE that score (Elton John wrote it not long after The Lion King was on Broadway and the original Nala, Heather Headley, played Aida and won a Tony for her performance) and My Strongest Suit is probably my favorite song. Sherie Rene Scott sang it originally and she is a powerhouse vocalist who is known for taking on big belty pop-influenced numbers and Josh sang it fantastically. You can tell his vocals have really strengthened since Tarzan. WOW.
That's interesting you say not to get the Dining Package for the Broadway concert series since I know it is SUPER helpful for the Eat to the Beat concert series. I'm glad at that but I wish Broadway would be just as popular as has-been acts (all tea, no shade).
