After 23 Years at Phantom, George Lee Andrews "Let go"

Posted: 9/1/11 at 5:42pmWait...the Henrik in the NYCO production is a DIFFERENT Kevin Anderson??? This blowing my mind. At least on YouTube, it looks like the more well known one. I guess that explains his surprisingly operatic voice!

Posted: 9/2/11 at 9:21amKevin Paul Anderson is in the DVD of Bernstein's Mass at Vatican City. His voice almost literally explodes while attempting to sing a very high section of his number. It's quite painful, one of the worst "recorded for posterity" moments I've ever seen. Just having a bad day I'm sure, he did sing beautifully in "Night Music", but a shame to have THAT preserved!

That may explain why he's not well-known any more (or ever!)

Kevin Anderson, the Steppenwolf actor who also sings, was in that awful "BRKLN" (whatever) musical.
In 1981, I saw him play JFK in the musical "One Shining Moment" at the Drury Lane Water Tower Theater in Chicago. The concept of the show was a group of college kids putting ona show about the Kennedys. Megan Mullaly was Jackie, and Alan Ruck was LBJ.

There's something about the NYCO A Little Night Music that always puts me off--maybe it's the huge empty stage (how I wish we had footage of Aronson's sliding birch trees in action), but George Lee Andrews *is* note perfect in it (and it's great that we have a recording, thanks to the "Scrabble Album" of him singing Silly People from the original production even if it was cut out of town).
I know Hal Prince spoke a while back about keeping it fresh by switching up the actors who played Firmin and Andre--does anyone know, out of curiousity, which years Andrews played who?
