Roger Bart to headline the Australian production of Back To The Future.
For me it’s still one of the worst musicals I’ve sat through and yes I did see Cyrano the musical.
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Not sure if this casting better represents the lack of protection of Australian stage actors, or whether or not Roger Bart desperately needs a job.

I think despite what many of us think about BTTF, Bart must absolutely love playing the role. And why knock him for it?

No one:
Roger Bart: I'm going to give you a world tour in BACK TO THE FUTURE
I do think it is always a fun novelty seeing an original Broadway or London star in a distant location. Roles don't exactly turn up every day especially at his age. So ride the wave while it's there!!
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

I can think of a bunch of older Australian actors who could play that role but maybe they didn't want to!

Theatre producing is not a jobs program.
They can cast whoever they like. It’s one role.
He’s also the only thing that is close to good about that show.

As we say here in Australia, Settle Petal! I didn't say he shouldn't be allowed to do the role. Someone else earlier said was this a case of lack of protection for Australian actors or whether or not Bart needed the role. All I said was I could think of Australian actors who could do the role, as someone who actually lives in Sydney unlike most people on this board.
I'm not sure why my comments as a Sydneysider are so offensive. I've got nothing against Roger Bart.

Strong unions that are meant to protect workers and their jobs, like Actors Equity, IATSE, and AFM, would beg to differ.
