I want to say that I favored the Soliloquy, much to my surprise.
Get this man back in a musical now, please!

The concert really reaffirmed how much I want him to do like, a classic, old-school revival. He just sounds so good singing classic showtunes.

I'm disappointed that there are no professional pictures. He looked so great, and the venue is so beautiful.

I absolutely agree about wanting to see him in an old-school revival. Please, god, let the man do something with some joy in it. I still think he'd made a spectacular Sky Masterson, since Sky is a bit of a darker character.

Maybe, but I think he can do better. Not that I don't love Guys and Dolls, but...I think he needs a big challenge.

His suit looks beautifully shiny in that second picture. Silk?

Well....yes, but wool wouldn't reflect like that. Silk does. It's pretty.

There's a short video interview on the Tony website.
Go to www.tonyawards.com, and in the options under the "spotlight" screen at the top, click until you get to "meet the nominees." Then just hit the play button that appears in the middle of the image. He's the last one on the video. He imitates the audience, which is always a good laugh.

I love how he's the only one who needed to be bleeped. Hee...

The funny part is that "asses" SO does not need to be bleeped.
Personally, I enjoy the cackle.

Me too. I love how he goes from super-intense thespian voice to like, a kid imitating evil laughter. Oh, Raul.

That suit is gorgeous!! Add to this one the Phil outfits and it looks like he's gone shopping recently.

He must have gone shopping. The suit fits.
Great photos! (Presumably they were taken on the day of their respective Actors Fund performances?)
He's looking very....Lenny-ish in the Homecoming shot. Everybody looks so happy! (except for Lenny). And why is Gareth wearing a shirt that says "1957" on it? He's not that old!
Company photo - he's wearing what looks like...house slippers?? (and doesn't Kelly Jeanne just sort of....glow?)

Haha, a few of them are wearing slippers in the Company picture. Aww. I really miss seeing that cast work their magic.

I love the way he talks about Leap of Faith -- I haven't seen the movie, but it sounds like he's really passionate about the musical.
