I loved him! His acting and singing was great when I saw him last March on Broadway with Megan Hilty and Eden Espinosa.

He sounds like he is singing out his nose and one of the Elphaba's I know said that she hates singing As Long As Your Mine with him because his voice is so awkward.

In Toronto, when Steph pulled him to her @ the end of "As Long As Your Mine" he seemed apalled. I found him pretty to look @ but hell after seeing Norbert (who actually managed to make that sketch of a leading man into a role!)I guess anyone else would be a poor second.

Personally, I think he's great. I really loved his voice and take on the role. He really brought out the best in Fiyero.

Most people hate him, but I've seen him twice and quite enjoyed him. He doesn't have the greatest singing, but he's compotent, and I think he acted the role wonderfully. He actually managed to make me forget, for a little while anyways, how horrificly under-written his part is.

Having seen my fair share of Fiyeros, Oliver Tompsett, Sebastian Arcelus, Kristoffer Cusick, Derrick Williams, Cliffton Hall, Michael Seelbach, and Brad Bass, I'd have to say my least favorite was Derrick Williams. And Kristoffer Cusick is a close second to worse. I can'st stand Derrick. He doesn't have a great voice and he's very boring. The entire time I was there I was like, "When will this be OVER?" It's also annoying because I love Erin Mackey in the role. I saw her in Chicago once with Derrick and once with Michael. Then when I heard she was leaving I tried to get tickets again but couldn't. Then I heard she was going to LA so I was going to fly out there to see her again, but low and behold, stupid Derrick Williams is going to be Fiyero.
