| I should have mentioned that the vast majority of the audience at Springsteen on Broadway and Pass Over did wear their masks, and I just happened to sit right behind those who didn't. I also want to laud the sound design of both shows. At Pass Over, the actors' voices were so natural that I was unaware that they were miked until I could see the mics when the cast disrobed. The actors sounded glorious during the brief singing passages, and the sound effects were also expertly designed. At Springsteen, the first strum of his guitar was thrilling, an impeccably clean sound that was loud but not ear-shattering. Whether he was playing piano or guitar, the sound was always beautifully balanced. I shouldn't have been surprised, since the sound design was by Brian Ronan, whose incredible work on the original Spring Awakening contributed greatly to that show's impact. It's great to hear live sound in a theater when it's so well done. One of the many problems I've found with streaming shows is that the sound is often poor. Therefore, I was pleasantly surprised that the recent Norbert Leo Butz show from 54 Below sounded great when played through my stereo system. |
