So NBC's been killing it with their shows lately... and I have to say... I think Good Girls is my favorite... but I just can't stop thinking about Rise! Here are some things I love about it!
Josh Radner's Acting Abilities Finally Shine!
I'm a fan of How I Met Your Mother... and I'm one of the rare people that actually really did like Ted Mosby as a character... and Josh Radner is talented... but despite being the main character of How I Met Your Mother... he kind of faded into the backround with the very over the top comedic performances of all the other characters. Radnor kept it grounded and I think that's a hard thing to do with all of those other characters.
That being said... it's hard to tell whether or not he's the best actor... that's the only thing I've seen him in and... he was okay but I always thought he was trying to be more of a director. In this show- I think he really is his character. I think his actual passion for the show shows in the passion of his character.
All The Students Are So Talented!
No one in my high school musical was that talented... seriously! No offense if you were in my high school musical... but come on! They have Moana in this!
Yes- I do love Auli'i Cravalho and I was so happy that she was in this show that I knew I would have to watch the show just for that. While she hasn't really been on the show that much just yet... she's singing in it... and that is really really something! She's super talented.
And so is everyone else on the show. I'm sure these kids will do great in musical theater because of this show... and they're just good.
I've Never seen Spring Awakening and Now I'm Probably Going to Listen To The Soundtrack
I don't know if I'd like to see Spring Awakening live. I know it's a sad and more serious play... and I prefer the fun ones... plus I think the revival ended... but now I just downloaded the Lea Michele/ Jonathan Groff version of the soundtrack. I really think they're both talented- so I'm excited to listen to that.
I Also Love It When A Show Uses Songs from Musical Theater to Coincide With The Plot
So bonus points. Also more Bonus Points for Hamilton too... cause you know Hamilton is one of my favorite things ever!
Speaking Of That... They Have Cast Recordings on Itunes/ Apple Music After Each Episode.
I'm probably going to check more of this out after I listen to more of the actual Spring Awakening Soundtrack. Although I do like learning about Spring Awakening through the context of this show... hmm lol.
Everyone Has A Great Backstory... and They Did A Great Job of Introducing That In The Pilot.
This is an ensemble cast... so having a way to tell stories about each character is going to be challenging... luckily the Pilot introduced each story the perfect amount. We have just enough insight into each character. I thought they left it vague enough with all the characters too that the story is pretty open....there's a lot of things they can do and I can't really predict it.
I think that is everything I want to say about this. I'm excited for a new episode tonight and you guys should check it out!
Byeee!
