His Billy Bigelow at Goodspeed was sensational!
An excellent performer who would have been a household name in the golden age.
Is James a tenor or baritone? I don't think I've heard him sing R&H before.

Previous to the Hollywood Bowl he gave a concert in Vrrona, Italy. He sang several Otalian arias and was very well received.

100% agree! Recently, James Snyder headlined at Feinstein's at the Nikko in San Francisco. He was a knockout singing from his Broadway repertoire, including ''Hey, Kid'' from ''If/Then'' and ''Girl, Can I Kiss You With Tongue?'' from ''Cry-Baby.''

Hopefully he sang his songs from FANNY in his Feinstein show. When he sang those songs at City Center he knocked the roof off the place

Happy to report Snyder did sing the title song from ''Fanny.''
Here's audio of him at Encores! (And he still sounds great.)
