Didn't Peter Joback just come on board recently?

I'm happy for him, but he never really struck as me as someone who could play the Phantom. We'll see!

He was only supposed to have a limited run for the 30th anniversary.

Yes, he came in for the 30th celebration but it was always to be a very limited run.

I really don't know anything about him. Have you seen him in something, and if so, what's his voice like?

A quick Google search for videos suggests that his voice is strongest in the lower range, which I very much like for the Phantom because that sort usually sounds great at "Let your soul take you where you long to BEEEEE". However, the real test for this role is whether he can handle that last note in "Music of the Night".

Is this the When Veruca Says guy?

He's also in The Standbys documentary.

This performance of "Stars" from Les Miserables is very encouraging, with the caveat that he might struggle with that last note in "Music of the Night" like Norm Lewis did.

The audio isn't amazing in this video, but I'm getting John Owen-Jones vibes from his voice. Hoping he falls in the same vein, JOJ is one of my favorites
Will be interesting to see him in the role, very curious to hear his MOTN as well

That's what separates the great ones from the pop tarts.

Yes, he was Verucla Salts dad.
