Favorite "Father" role in a Broadway show...

Posted: 6/19/05 at 12:01am

In honor of Father's Day, I thought it would be appropriate to have a post honoring those great "Father" roles. This should be fun!

Okay, I'll start...

Sam Carmichael, Bill Austin and Harry Bright in Mamma Mia!
"I'm learning to dig deep down inside and find the truth within myself and put that out. I think what we identify with in popular music more than anything else is when someone just shares a truth that we can relate to. That's what I'm searching for in my music." - Ron Bohmer

"I broke the boundaries. It wasn't cool to be in plays- especially if you were in sports & I was in both." - Ashton Kutcher

Mr. Darling in PETER PAN!
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

Now, Billy is a good one! I think Tevye is by far the best, but here's another for your consideration: Georges Seurat! EH?!?!, EH?!?!
