it actually is. Dust and Ashes is very much in his range, but some of Pierre's other songs require him to use a rougher tone that could be damaging if he doesn't take care of his voice properly. His standby, Scott Stangland, has a rock tenor voice that is "built better" to withstand those rougher parts so to speak lol. Groban brings a more classical, traditional musical theatre type of voice.
makes me wonder how Adam Pascal would fare in the role, com e to think of it
Lead producers Janet & Marvin Rosen appear to have tried to drum up some free publicity for the show recently by inviting the Clintons (Marvin raised the money for Bill's reelection). But it appears that all the press went to Hillary, with very little mention of the show itself.
Of course, Hillary Clinton is infinitely more significant than this show...
In regard to In Transit holding on until the Tony's, it seems to me to make more sense for the producers to just tell the cast and crew to simply stay at home and continue to direct deposit their earnings until about mid June.
It wouldn't affect the inevitable net result in the least.
