Posted: 11/7/04 at 4:28pmWhy did I think that Ragtime was a revival?! Strange. Oh well, he needs another part written for him in mind.

Posted: 11/7/04 at 4:32pmI also saw him in his first Broadway musical Mail, back in the late 80s and that was an original show (not a great one, but, original nonetheless).

Posted: 11/7/04 at 5:15pmHe did not originate the role in Kiss of the Spiderwoman. He did on Broadway but the role was originated by I believe Anthony Crivello.

Posted: 11/7/04 at 5:21pmCarver was really the highlight for me. The score wasn't fantastic as far as Kander and Ebb go I thought it was merely acceptable instead of their usual brilliance.
