Has anyone heard Matt Caplan singing "One Song Glory"? I found a clip of it online, and I have to admit I was really impressed. I've seen him as Mark twice, and liked him, but I wasn't expecting to like his Glory. Of all the versions I've heard, I have to say that, after Adam's, his was the most emotional. I was pleasantly surprised.

I have. It's... different. I still can't picture him as Roger.

Neither can I, I haven't seen it or heard it but I just saw him last night and he struck me as at the limit of acceptable quirkiness for Mark, I hope he can play a more subdued Roger.

I didn't know Norbert played Mark and Rodger. I was searching online for a clip of Norbert singing another song and came across "what you own" sung by him and adam.

Norbert understudied both, I think, and he played Roger for a bit of time. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, I'm always confused.

That clip is GORGEOUS.

I love those clips, they are amazing!
I heard the same Emcee, but there is a good possibility I heard it from you, so who knows?

I didnt listen to it all the way through. I think his voice is better suited for Mark, because he doesnt really have that rocker and roll type of voice, but then again, I never heard him as Roger.

Norbert? Not a rocker voice? I think he's certainly got a pretty pop/rock-suited voice. His Glory is SICKENINGLY good. That, from me... well, it's good.

Really? I guess I've never heard him use it. I've only heard like last 5 years and wicked, which aren't exactly the most Rock'n Roll. How did you get the clips of him? I think he physically suits the part.

His stuff in Wicked was pretty "pop." I have no idea where I found the clip... it floats around every so often. I think I got it from a site that no longer exists.

His stuff in DRS in addition to being spectacularly funny really shows he can sing just about anything and make it impossible to put down.
