I don't think he sounds too good.
best part = the ensemble girls. Looking very classy (not in costumes from the show.)

Eesh. He sounds purty bad if you ask me. :-
Wouldve LOVED to see him on stage opposite Brooke Shields though (that wouldve been a sight to behold).

Posted: 11/9/05 at 8:44pmYou know the host is really thinking "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh. PLEASE tell me you just got that on tape."

Posted: 11/9/05 at 9:22pmThe man cannot hold a note for longer than three seconds. Which means his "We Both Reached for the Gun" isn't good at all. He doesn't even bother with the final note. He just dances around and the chorus picks it up.

Posted: 11/9/05 at 10:06pmi found it funny that his "acting voice" is so completely different than his "interview" voice, the latter was more billy flynn to me personally

Posted: 11/9/05 at 10:07pmI ADORE Huey Lewis, absolutely, Just NOT in "Chicago". This was a very bad F&BW Idea.

Completely amateurish and appalling. THIS is why I'm a Chicago actor, not a New York actor.
WHAT HAS BROADWAY COME TO?

Posted: 11/9/05 at 10:26pmYeah, certainly not what I consider to be Broadway quality.

Well I'm sure the next Billy Flynn will be much better - John O'Hurly, now I can really see him in the role!
But I give the Weissler's much credit, because right now they are doing more creative casting than they have done in years. We have so many new actors coming in and out of Chicago - some good, some not so good - and they really are taking risks. Almost 10 years laters, and it's still all about creativity and taking risks - and I give them so much credit. We have Robin Givens coming (which is probally the most creative and unexpected casting in the shows history.)

I have to confess, that was so bad I watched it 4 times!! Yes, I can see the Hostess saying "Did You Get THAT!!??" LOL!!!
That Hostess has a VERY "Viola Fields" quality to her too!

I don't know if this was ever posted. But Bway.com has a video for him. http://www.broadway.com/gen/show.aspx?SI=22374#
The biggest treat is that it includes Brooke Sheilds as Roxie. This must've been Huey's opening night, which I believe was Brooke's last day in the show!
I've noticed he dosen't really have a character voice for REACEHD FOR THE GUN.. it sounds like his regular voice.
Interesting.
