Karen Ziemba – I wish this was a joke — Page 2

On that blissful afternoon a few years ago when I bumped into TAMrMcC as he was walking his dogs between MUSIC MAN performances, we wound up having coffee together at a sidewalk cafe. During our conversation, he mentioned that his experience in a sitcom was an enormous help in getting "up" in a major musical comedy in almost record time. His words became even more truthful when I learned that his replacement in THE MUSIC MAN, Robert Sean Leonard, was having a very difficult time learning the lyrics and the choreography and Eric generously gave of his own time helping the actor learn the role. Those who saw Leonard in the eearly weeks of his performance will verify that he was still uncertain of the lyrics, awkward in the dance movements and afraid to smile. I understand he improved later on.

Sitcoms may have their place as a training ground for Broadway actors.

Idina would be perfect for The Sopranos.

AHA !! Gotcha!! You just said, "Broadway stars" without the use of sarcastic quotation marks around the word "star", thereby admitting they exist. I shall record this day to throw in your face at a later date.

VICTORY IS MINE!
