Yeah I do see Cat, we were debating his "star power" on the main board. I don't think the box office will take as much as a dip as it did when Lithgow was out for a week, I think there's a difference between expecting a name and him not being there, and another semi-name being there. Norbert is still fantastic as is the show, and once it doesn't have such a name, it will be seen for other reasons. Besides, Pryce isn't as well known as Lithgow, but he's not exactly a no-name. Besides Miss Saigon and Evita, he was in Pirates of the Caribbean and a slew of other movies.
Ooh, reading that, just remembered he also plays other parts in Hey Mr. Producer concert including Henry Higgins...I gotta go watch it again.
Annie, if my stupid computer wasn't acting up, I would definitely send you my Highlights from Miss Saigon CD, or at least his two main songs on there "If You Wanna Die in Bed" and "The American Dream." It's great to listen to, esp. the American Dream, I love that song!
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
