 Dec 31 2024, 01:23:43 PM

82/100 - Not too bad a way to end the year. Once again, thanks for doing these quizzes for us, they are fun.

Robert Cuccioli Question
 Nov 17 2024, 09:54:42 AM

"It was absurd that James Naughton won the Tony over Cuccioli. Naughton coasted in an easy role and was just part of the Chicago sweep. Cuccioli’s stunt casting replacements were so bad they only emphasized how he had worked magic with a role(s) that can easily look ridiculous in the wrong hands. He was robbed."

I agree 100%. It is a shame the recorded version of J&H could not have been with him.

"Doesn’t Robert do loads of regional and concert work? He probably just doesn’t like being in NYC."

Robert Cuccioli Question

My wife knew Robert during his HS days at St. Mary's on LI. We went to see him in "Jekyll & Hyde" in 1997 and thought he was great; he would receive Tony nomination. He never appeared on Broadway again until 2011 in the disaster of a musical "Spider Man". My question is why he could not appear on Broadway again in almost 15 years and then somebody like Christian Borle constantly gets roles. Borle is great but it seems the minute he leaves one show he is cast in ano
