1) Why hasn't Keith Byron Kirk gotten much work since the National Tour of Evita (2 yrs. ago) ?? not the most amazing singer but he has a wonderful stage presence.
2) I can't find much on Michael Lanning and Gene Miller (the caucasian soloists beginning at 2:15). CIVIL WAR was their "Broadway Debut" but what are they up to now? Anyone know?

keith works but has stayed kind of under the radar. is is a great actor, i really enjoy his work.
lanning is an absolutely amazing singer/songwriter, and seems to only do musical theatre occasionally. he is currently starring in "mask" at pasadena playhouse.
and both are awesome guys all around.
not sure about gene miller...he was part of a musical group called "shiloh" back in the day.
As far as I know, Keith is still with THE COLOR PURPLE national tour, as an understudy for Mister.
He was splendid in MISS SAIGON, as well!
If it's the same person, Gene Miller was the singing voice of Kuvo in Lion King II: Simba's pride, opposite Liz Callaway. But even that was 10 years ago.....
