Posted: 4/13/05 at 11:37pmBesides his comedy act, has he done anything on Broadway before, plays etc? Just curious, I think this man is a genius and I think it would be cool to see him live in a musical or something

Posted: 4/14/05 at 10:27amI don't think it's POSSIBLE. I think he really needs to be able to take creative license every performance.

#4 Robin Williams HAS STARRED on Broadway
Posted: 4/14/05 at 10:42amRobin Williams is a disciplined professional. HE STARRED ON BROADWAY with Steve Martin in a revival of WAITING FOR GODOT a few years ago. I believe it may have been at Lincoln Center. The man is a professional and a very fine actor. You can do some research and see his fine reviews. I don't think he ever missed a performance and neither performer was ever reported to have "adlibbed" in their Broadway outing starring in WAITING FOR GODOT.

Posted: 4/14/05 at 11:51amIve seen the video of his Waiting for Godot with Martin at the lincoln center library. It also stars F. Murray Abraham as Pozzo. Pure genius. Every performance was amazing. Directed by Mike Nichols too if im not mistaken.

Posted: 4/14/05 at 11:54amWilliams needs to do a stint as Max in The Producers. I think he'd be brilliant. and jacking a bit but would Michael J. Fox have been a perfect Leo?
