Posted: 3/24/05 at 9:39pmOk, so I know he's great to look at but what does he sound like? I've been trying to find clips to hear him but havn't found any. I considered getting the fiddler on the roof cd but I don't know if he's even on it. Is he?

I saw Norbert and David. I prefered Norbert, but David was in no way horrible (it was only his FIRST performance).
He needed to work on the delivery of a few lines.
The one thing he did better than Norbert was "As long as You're Mine" He and Shosh match perfectly, and they really have that lust while doing the scene. I was expecting them to stop singing at any moment and rip off each others' clothes. It was HOT!

Posted: 3/24/05 at 9:48pmHe's not really on the Fiddler CD so don't bother buying it for him. His part on the show was tiny

Posted: 3/24/05 at 9:57pmAhhh, glad I didn't buy the cd then. I saw Kristoffer Cusick as Fiyero and liked him alot better than Norbert, but I can't find and clips of him either...the world hates me lol

Posted: 3/24/05 at 10:17pmhey, i liked David alot! I haven't seen Norbert do Fiyero so I can't really say but I thought he was really good. And gorgeously sexy. Hehehe. I really liked his voice and how he did "As Long As You're Mine."

I have seen one Fiyero, David, and I was not impressed. I was actually quite disappointed. His voice wasn't great and he was really boring acting.
EDIT: Didn't we have this exact discussion like, a day ago?

Posted: 3/24/05 at 11:58pmAh, I just saw the show tonight....I'd seem him before and honestly liked him alot better this time. Not my favorite, but good. He got a haircut! ee i know its not exciting or anything, but I just didnt like his long hair. Now, he looks goo-ood.

I've only seen pics of him and while he is very attractive (
)Norbert is still my favorite Fiyero to date. Maybe I'm a bit biased because I'm a huge fan of his but I just really loved him in the role.

Posted: 3/25/05 at 12:50amI thought he was great in everything...except for As Long As You're Mine. It sounded like crap. That tiny clip from the Behind The Scenes thing on Bway.com almost killed me. It just bothered me so much that it looked like he was saying half the lines in the songs.. Do not let that video mislead you. I think that might be the only time he *SAYS* lines in the songs. He killed As Long As You're Mine, I'm sorry. He did do very well in Dancing Through Life though!

Posted: 3/26/05 at 12:02amI thought he was okay-- not great as Fiyero. Norbert was definitely the best, wasn't too crazy about Joey McIntyre either.

I had the chance to see Norbert and David, as well. David certainly looks more like a "Fiyero", but Norbert is just...Norbert! He's amazing! David DID speak a lot of his lyrics when I saw him, didn't exhibit very much energy, and he didn't deliver a lot of the dialogue as it had been delivered in the past. True...that everyone's interpretation, of any character, could be right; but I guess it's just what people WANT to hear that makes it differing.
Personally, I didn't like David at all as Fiyero. But he was definitely a VERY nice person when I met him after the show.

Posted: 3/26/05 at 1:54amActually nobody ever really stands out as Fiyero. It is kind of a dull role.
#19re: David Ayers
Posted: 3/26/05 at 2:03amWhat do all of you see in him? He must not be photogenic because every picture I've seen of him as Fiyero makes him look kind of like a lanky, pubescent, unattractive David Cassidy. (And I've never found David Cassidy THAT attractive anyway.)
Hilda, Hilda, wake up! I've invented a maneuver.

Posted: 4/27/05 at 1:16pmI said before, even though it didn't seem they were on their game, David and Shoshana mesh really well.
