I think BWW should add a "like" button.

"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

He was the centerpiece of the Finian's revival. He should be great in this!

I can't think of any performer before the pubic today that would be more "right" for this role. Hope the others are as well-chosen, too. Cheyenne would be a great Tony and Kate Baldwin a fine Alice. And how about Jackie Hoffman as the dipsomanic? It's a fine play from a distant era that still has many points to make today. My best to everyone involved!!!!
