David Corenswet, star of the new ''Superman'' movie opening July 11, did an extended interview with ''CBS Sunday Morning,'' where he returned to his hometown of Philadelphia. There, he revisited the Arden Theatre, where he made his stage debut at age 9 in Arthur Miller's ''All My Sons.'' Corenswet fondly remembers his late father, a stage actor, often rewatching the tape of ''Regard of Flight,'' Bill Irwin's 1987 Broadway show.
Corenswet and Christopher Reeve, who starred in the classic 1978 ''Superman'' movie, were both classically trained actors who went to Juilliard. (Both 6-foot-4, too.) Before Juilliard, he recalled the Upper Darby Summer Stage, where “every summer I did two or three musicals.''
Corenswet says he can carry a tune, but ''I have an older-school baritone voice so a lot of the modern musicals, I just can’t sing high enough for. But give me a 'Music Man' or a 'Guys and Dolls,' I really love that stuff.” (Too bad he wasn't asked about ''It's a Bird ... It's a Plane ... It's Superman''; if there's ever a Broadway revival, he's got possibilities.)
