Thank you Rob for the absolutely brilliant interview with Michael Ball!

I throughly enjoyed reading it. It was almost as if I was there with you listening to Michael respond to your questions....well almost, but not quite. It was as if I was privy to a lovely conversation. You are very talented.

On a personal note, I am *thrilled* that Michael mentioned Chicago as one his fan bases. I have been an *active* Michael Ball fan for about five years, and I *always* mention Chicago and give him little *Chicago* trinkets to remind him to do a concert here one day! LOL!

Also....sounds like Michael is up to date on the goings-on of BWW.com!!!!

Peace and Love,

Michael's #1 Chicago fan

This is a really great interview - I really enjoyed reading it. A nice overview of Michael, and his current activities.

I agree with Faith2- it is like overhearing a conversation

Very good interview work!!! You can be proud of that one!!! He spoke more freely to you than any other reviewer I've read so far.

Michael has one of busiest careers for a musical theatre star. He is excellent onstage - whether doing stage productions or giving concerts - his talent and charismatic stage presence make him quite a joy to watch always. His concerts and his recording career have also provided us with proof that he can tackle many musical genres. Can you imagine him singing rock music and light opera ( he did - with Brit soprano Lesley Garrett - a number from THE MAGIC FLUTE )??

And what a sense of humour! He and Maria go back a long way. She once joined him in one of his concert tours - and they sang a few songs from GREASE ( including SUMMER NIGHTS )together, to the absolute delight of the crowd.

Let's hope he can find a way to sing to more corners of the earth

What a great interview! Many thanks - I enjoyed reading it.

As a long-time British fan of Michael's, I hope America comes to discover (in hordes) what a great talent Michael is, both as a musical theatre actor and a superb concert performer. And he's a true gentleman too ...

Take care of yourself over there Michael - and good luck!

P.S. Hope that Maria makes a full and speedy recovery.

Thanks for the interview, Rob; it was so much fun to read! I've loved this man's voice since I heard him in Les Mis years ago. So glad that he's back on Broadway... and if he's there until March, then hey... I might even be able to catch him perform!!
