Effie in Dreamgirls.
The title role in the musical version of Attack of The Blob
George W. Bush (I don't like the shrub) to Clay's Al Gore in the musical version of the 2000 election. (How ODD that Ruben won, yet Clay gets better sales and better audience response during concerts. hmm)

There are probably some great roles out there for Ruben, but it is just plain scary to see him on Bway!! He is definently meant to be a singer.

But, but, but.....

He. Can. Not. Sing.

He's godawful. His voice is downright unpleasant and is always slightly off the note. Bad. He should not be allowed near Broadway or a recording studio ever again ever ever ever.

There's no need to be rude about Ruben's appearance. I, for one, think that he would make an excellent Amos in Chicago.

Yes, he would make an OK Amos. I just don't think it would go well with the critics.

Not being rude about his appearance. Just his ghastly singing voice.

have you forgotten lyric: "You can look right through, walk right by me, and never know I'm there?" Ahem! It speaks for itself.

Thanks 11. He couldn't be any worse than Melanie and he would bring some real "star power" to the part.

What about Ruben as Amos and Star Jones as Mamma?

"star power"???? All he knows how to do is stand in one place, waddling back and forth from foot to foot, sweating like he has just run a marathon, and sing the same thing over and over!!

Haha, BG2! This isn't really something to fight over, though. It's Ruben. C'mon!

Ruben obviously has some sort of star power or he would not have won AI.
