The Los Angeles production (the first touring company I believe), had a great cast. Strong performers in the roles of Roger, Mark, Mimi, Joanne, and Collins. Neil Patrick Harris (of Doogie Howser fame) does a really spectacular job as Mark- emotional and strong. Mark Leroy Jackson was just... likeable as Tom Collins, and Julia Santana turned in a good, although short-winded performance at times. Kenna Ramsey was a good Joanne with a great voice and good acting. Christian Mena debuts strongly as a good Roger, although I sensed a lack of emotion as the show went on, even though his voice remained remarkably good. Finally, D'Monroe and Carla Bianco both gave fun performances as Benny and Maaureen, respectively. I enjoyed the cast thoroughly, and Harris' evolution from TV personality to Mark is great to watch. Additionally, since I got so lucky as to win the lottery for the $20 rush tickets, it was all the more special. Once again, wonderful!
