You cant judge their acting seeing as their faces are blurry. i think they did AMAZING! plus Elon is one of the most reputable musical theatre programs in the nation.
Jeff first phrase, the way the actor choose to express it, came off very gay to me, which is obviously not right for the character. The guy playing Austin, I got the sense that the actor was very uncomfortable being rooted to one spot and he wasn't sure what to do with himself so he tried to "move" with his arms, which didn't work for me. It's okay for a character to be uncomfortable but when an actor is uncomfortable, you can't hide it.
Y'all sound great, but the composer wrote notes and rhythms for a reason. There's a lot of what was sung that isn't faithful to what's on the page. The composer is a smart guy. He meant to write what he did- trust in him. You can act without re-writing Salzman and Cunningham's music.
Wish the chord for the word new at the end of the song was taken back a lot volume wise. It's got all four notes a whole step a part from D to G sharp and doesn't need much at all for it to ring out beautifully.
1) Your pianist was the truest to the original score of any "I Love you Because" video on here. Keep up the great work.
2) You are all very talented performers and your solo sections are evidence of this. However, the quartet section still felt like four people singing their own little song.
3) I think you could have made a bigger deal out of Austen NOT saying "but, I do" at the end of the song. Felt like a bit of letdown for me.
Anyway, keep up the AWESOME work. You guys are great.

apart from playing with the melody, which didn't help the performance, the vocals are very good! especially the 4 part hamornies! Well done!

brilliant.....it might help if they were staggered a bit, instead of just a straight line...brilliant nonetheless
