Posted: 8/31/04 at 12:48amHow do you think Wayne will do in Chicago? I think he will do considerably well. He is very talented, and his comedic timing was apparant on "Who's Line is it Anyways?" Isn't he true that he can sing in different styles (regular pop voice, opera, etc...)?

I think he will do pretty good. He will also help the shows grosses.
I would be interested in seeing his Billy, But I still love Chris Sieber's Billy...

No matter how he does, it will still be better than Alan Thicke. Saw him attempt Flynn in Toronto a couple years back. I still have bad dreams...

Posted: 8/31/04 at 12:57amLol, Alan Thicke from Growing Pains? I never knew he made an attempt at Chicago, let alone singing.

I think he'll do just fine. He has a good stage presence and can sing adequately and dances as well.
He'll be fine compared to some of the stunt casting I've seen in the past few years

Posted: 8/31/04 at 11:11amI am sure he will do great! He is a great actor and his voice is very good! And plus with his show being cancelled I think he deserves this! :)

Posted: 8/31/04 at 3:03pmi think he will be great. I'm guessing he's performing on b'way on b'way since he's hosting it.

I think he's going to be horrible.
he is not a good live performer. he needs to have multiple takes to be funny.
his style is all the same, and you will know you are watching Wayne Brady as Wayne Brady.

Posted: 8/31/04 at 4:32pmI saw him live, he was doing improv, and I thought he was great! He can sing and act well, plus he's got a lot of presence. He seems like he could play sleazy very well. What more could you want from that role?

I still maintain that Alan Thicke was not all that bad.
Anyway, on the topic, I have faith that Wayne will surpise everyone... Who knows, I might even take a repeat visit to the show just to see him. Time will tell though.
