He's awesome. The man can act beautifully... excellent comedic timing. He's got a beautiful voice... and he can DANCE!
He's really doing a great job - it's an excellent role for him. The show is funny, but his performance made the show for me.

last day is 1/9. Richard Kind comes in on 12/21 to take over from JT who is working Max until then since Brad left on 12/12 for a brief rest before going to London to take over from Lane.
Just call it Producers Round Robin Casting

Posted: 12/14/04 at 7:20pmRichard Kind - should be interesting. I know his niece, not that anyone cares LOL but how do you all think he will do? I thought he was really funny in Mad About You and Spin City so hopefully he can bring it up on stage.

Posted: 12/14/04 at 8:59pmI've seen the show eight times just for Hunter. So I'm biased because I'm a huge fan of his. But he is just so awesome in this role and never fails to make me laugh. Every time I go he gets better. He and Brad were terrific together and I'm very curious to see how he'll be with Richard Kind.

Posted: 12/16/04 at 9:14pmWas I the only one not astounded by him? I thought his comedic timing was only decent, not spectacular. I wasn't impressed by his acting at all.

Posted: 12/16/04 at 9:27pmYou are not alone. I've seen the show more than a dozen times in NY and LA with every Leo. Sorry to say Hunter is not in the top three for me. I was not impressed. He was too forced in being funny and played the role for attention and big laughs. Not a good match with Brad. Brad has done far better with his other Leos. Matthew is still the best, followed by Roger. That's my opinion. Updated On: 12/16/04 at 09:27 PM

Posted: 12/17/04 at 2:21amHunter was good but I liked Roger better.

Posted: 12/17/04 at 2:37amI don't think I'd describe Hunter's voice as "beautiful", but it definitely has a very likeable quality. He is my favorite Leo Bloom, though. I thought Stadlen was great as Bialystock, but that role was made for Nathan Lane. I don't like the man's voice AT ALL, but that role is perfection when he is inhabiting it.
Word. Word, indeed.
