That would be Peter Lockyer. He plays the Jeweler and understudies the Phantom. However, he goes to NYU, not Hunter. And while he looks very young, he's actually in his early 30s.
I'm so glad you liked him, AlmostFamous! I was there on Friday and thought that he was amazing. Of course he is my favorite actor, so I'm a little biased. But it's good to hear from other people who enjoyed his performance.
Actually, they don't sell any posters at the theatre. The only time they have them is when they're doing the BC/EFA fundraising, and those are autographed and you have to donated $40 to get one.
I saw both Mister Roberts and The Man in the White Suit. Loved him in both. And The Producers, a whole bunch of times. And I'll be going back for more. What can I say, I'm a devoted fan.
I think Hunter Foster would be great in the title role... he said himself that he'd love to do it. And how about Christian Borle as Eyegor? He'd be perfect!
In case anyone is interested, Hunter was on a talk show in Cleveland and there is a video clip of the interview on the show's website. Just thought I'd share.
Yay Hunter! I was there yesterday as well. It was my tenth time seeing him in the role and this was definitely his best performance. This was my third time seeing Richard Kind as Max and he has gotten a hundred times better since the first time I saw him. The ad-libs on the couch were hilarious and his curtain call speech was very sweet. Hunter will be sorely missed on Broadway. I can't wait to see him in Mister Roberts though.
Hunter will be joining the Max tour, which appears to be ending in Boston on February 20th. It's the Leo tour that's going to Florida. So it's possible that he could still be doing Mister Roberts at the Kennedy Center. I sure hope so.
I've seen the show eight times just for Hunter. So I'm biased because I'm a huge fan of his. But he is just so awesome in this role and never fails to make me laugh. Every time I go he gets better. He and Brad were terrific together and I'm very curious to see how he'll be with Richard Kind.
