Wow, what amazing dedication! It's no wonder he's such a brilliant actor.
I can't believe he performed at Joe's Pub during a break in Lear in his costume!
But the article is right, he always was extremely dedicated--in addition to never missing a performance of Sweeney, he was performing at the Bowery that one night welll into after midnight, and the next night was back in another amazing Sweeney performance.
One can have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for that man.
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
