Posted: 1/13/07 at 8:01amThis man is so very talented, and I believe he deserved a Tony Award for TITANIC. He had two of the most gorgeous songs in the show, and I hope he will receive at least a nomination this season for THE APPLE TREE. He belongs on stage, in musicals, as great as he was in THE LIEUTENANT OF INISHMORE. His voice deserves to be heard, and I'd like to create this thread to show my adoration and appreciation for Mr. Brian d'Arcy James.

Posted: 1/13/07 at 8:16amHe's my #1 choice for Lt. Cable. Just imagine how gorgeous his "Younger Than Springtime" would be.

Posted: 1/13/07 at 8:37amI enjoyed him in THE APPLE TREE, too, Foster, especially as Adam. If only they were faithful to the story and didn't make him wear that damn white suit. *swoon* I wanted to meet him briefly at the stage door afterward, but noooooooo you didn't want to.

Posted: 1/13/07 at 9:12amI know more than a few die-hard Norbert fans will take issue with this, but I also enjoyed him immensely in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. I thought he did a fantastic job.

Posted: 1/13/07 at 9:27amI'll second that he was pretty fantastic in DRS.

My favorite performer on Broadway today. What a voice.
There's another love thread over on the off-topic board: https://forum.broadwayworld.com/readmessage.cfm?boardname=off&thread=890904
But maybe this one will get more attention.

The first time I heard him sing the "May the Lord who watches all..." part in Titanic, I literally gasped. It was so beautiful. Wonderful, wonderful singer. I agree - his Lt. Cable would be divine.
Oh, and ot - SDav, I like your avatar. Bright Young Things is so great!

Posted: 1/13/07 at 4:48pmOh, word. He is beyond fantastic. I hope he gets his chance to star in Young Frankenstein.

I was just going to post the old-school Brian d'Arcy James thread, but Kerrie beat me.

Posted: 1/13/07 at 6:37pmNot only is his singing voice amazing, but he's proven himself in straight plays as well. Why, why doesn't he have a Tony Award on his shelf?
#13re: May The Lord Who Watches All Watch Over Thee - Brian d'Arcy James Love
Posted: 1/13/07 at 10:04pmI saw him in The Apple Tree today. He's really great. Especially enjoyed him as Adam and Flip.

Posted: 1/13/07 at 10:40pmThe fact that he didn't even receive a nomination for TITANIC blows me away. I suppose the nominating committee saw it as more of an ensemble piece.

Posted: 1/14/07 at 2:47amI never understood the point of these types of threads, but I love me some James. He's got a great, unique voice and I wish I had seen Titanic when he was in it.

Posted: 1/14/07 at 1:47pmI love Brian, and I think he would be lovely singing Cable, but he's got a very hairy chest, and most Cables are smooth when half-naked! Don't count on the casting director to see past this.

I saw him in Titanic before I actually figured out that the actors on Broadway have actual names!
I saw him again in The Apple Tree, and I thought he was spectacular. That voice is beautiful!

Posted: 1/14/07 at 9:25pmHe was amazing in Titanic. Maybe I'll go pull that cast recording and listen to his beautiful voice.
