Funny thing about that article; There was a similar situation when Michael took over the role of Count Fosco in WiW in London in 2005. Michael himself told a story about people sitting behind some friends who were wondering where the heck Michael was -- they were assuming that he was playing the role of Walter.

He's not Edna Turnblad in this photo at all - LOL! More like the Michael who is equally versatile with non-musical theatre songs. His latest album, a tribute to Burt Bacharach, was released last week.
I wonder if we will ever get to hear him sing in a London cast recording of HAIRSPRAY

hahaha, he looks like a hoot!
Ben James-Ellis - is so cute, and a very age appropriate Link. He looks great alongside Leanne Jones.

Gorgeous! He's so smooth on that floor.
Fabulous orchestration! Is it up a key?

I thought you'd like that, Mateo. As for the orchestrations -- no idea. Guess you'll have to ask the composer.

What a body on James and he is only like 18. He has a better body then most men I know.

You can set you goals
And seize the day,
You've been given the freedom
To work your way
To the head of the line-
To the head of the line!"
