Say what you will about him, but I'd love to see Jack Black come to the Broadway stage!

Posted: 12/13/10 at 8:08pmHow anyone can consider him entertaining is beyond me...
"He found something that he wanted, had always wanted and always would want— not to be admired, as he had feared; not to be loved, as he had made himself believe; but to be necessary to people, to be indispensable."

Posted: 12/13/10 at 8:32pmI would actually be curious to see him onstage. His on-screen energy/persona can be rather oppressive and heavy, but the same was often said of Bert Lahr, and I kind of feel Nathan Lane can sometimes run that way as well. Not to say Jack Black is anywhere near as talented as either of those two, but I wonder if he would fare better with a touch of distance and reality between him and the audience, not magnified to the degree that he is in the movies.

Posted: 12/13/10 at 8:48pmI would really hate it if he did. He has no talent...his acting is that of a frat boy's appeal when they are drunk...

I have always thought he would be an awesome Freddy in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

Posted: 12/13/10 at 11:54pmI think he'd be wonderful as Daryl van Horne in THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK.

Posted: 12/14/10 at 12:00amI'd LOVE to see him on Broadway. I enjoy him sometimes and sometimes I don't. But I think given the right show and right director, he could be good.

Posted: 12/14/10 at 2:09amMet him at a Sydney Theatre Company show a while back. Seemed quite intelligent. Would love to see him in a role that's out of his usual type.
