Thank you Trish (Toto!), you’re amazing!!

Hello! We have part two of the interview that Randy gave to Larry Murray. Read it HERE. Thank you Chicca!

Hello! We have the part one of a new interview posted by Larry Murray on the website berkshireonstage.com. You can read it HERE. Thank you Trish (Toto)!

Here I am! I added in its section the new interview Randy gave to Charles Giuliano and that was posted on the berkshirefinearts.com, july 14th 2011. To read it again click HERE . (THANK YOU Gloria!)

Hello everyone and happy Saturday! Charles Giuliano posted an interview with Randy on the website berkshirefinearts.com. You can read this wonderful interview HERE.

We have two more reviews about the Who’s “Tommy” in general, and Randy in particular. You can read them here:

troyrecord.com

"There are no bad performances and everyone’s voice adds to the great sounds of the score. However, a problem with the work is that most of the characters are mere sketches and have no substance. This makes it difficult for performers to work anywhere but on the surface. This places the entire burden of developing empathy for Tommy on Harrison and he saves the show.
Harrison has matured into an excellent actor. Over the years he’s honed his craft with drama at BTF and now shows a strong, mature singing voice. He’s always had a compelling stage presence, but in the role of Tommy he demonstrates an ability to own the stage without neglecting the character. It’s great work."

"Now, Eric Hill is at the helm and the show has been re-envisioned to fit the grandeur of the elegantly restored Colonial Theater. It stars two actors whose careers have flourished at BTF, Randy Harrison and James Barry. Harrison who was a riveting Alan Strang in Equs and Lucky in Waiting for Godot is an ideal choice to blow audiences asway as the grown Tommy."

Thank you, Katia and Lory!

Hello everyone! Another update today, too! The Who’s “Tommy” is doing really, really well! All the reviews are raving… especially about Randy!

Scott Lowell went to see Randy perform in Tommy at the Colonial Theatre. This is what he said about it on his Facebook page:

'I had an amazing night at the Berkshire Theatre Festival last night! Beginning to hate my ol' pal Randy Harrison for being SO talented. He sang the HELL out of "Tommy!" The whole cast was great but Randy, James Barry & Jenny Powers brought such searing emotions to their roles it actually moved me as never before. How will I get all those damned songs out of my head?'

Hello everyone! Many articles and reviews have been posted about Tommy. The musical that's taking place at the Colonial Theatre is having a great success and I'm so very happy for Randy. I'm just sorry to know that, this year just like the past one, it appears that he's been "mobbed" by some fans. But I won't comment further on the matter...

You can read theatermania.com's review HERE berkshireonstage.com's written by Larry Murray, HERE ... and other reviews, HERE, HERE and HERE.

A few quotes:
Harrison has a particularly large leap to make, spending the first half isolated as the narrator and then appearing as a deaf, blind mute.
"I can't look for textural clues," he says. "I have to listen to the music for the answers. I think the strongest thing for me has been letting the music come into me, thinking of myself as an expression of the music."
"I think a huge character for me is going to be the audience. The audience is going to play an enormous part for me as far as the people I'm trying to get a response from and talk to.
"But," he continues with a soft laugh, "I'm really excited to talk to another actor onstage soon."

Thank you Katia and Lory!

@lovemelast Some sound issues still to be resolved, but Eric Hills production of Tommy rocks!! Randy Harrison=Tommy=match made in theater heaven!

Randy Harrison, super talented actor.

One of the performers says:

ChristopherGurrJust molested Tommy in front of our first audience. Ewwwwwwwww. (and yay)

@orosiefactor Rosie ¢¾ Terrificly fun time @ The Who's Tommy w/ @lovemelast @Artistsupporter and her gorgeous dates! Randy Harrison totally rocked it as "Tommy."

@lovemelast The Who's Tommy was fcuking amazing. Randy Harrison was wonderful as Tommy and the 2 younger actors who played Tommy were equally good.
