What Do You Think of Hank Azaria in Curtains?

Posted: 3/21/07 at 9:10pm

I know the show didn't even open yet, but I was thinking about way ahead in the future. What do you guys think of Hank Azaria as Lt. Frank Cioffi? I think he'd do a great job. Why not?

not Tony Danza!

Hank might work. Does need a bot of work with singing. and maybe dancing, but otherwise, he fits the character mold I think.

From your subject line I thought you had gotten Hank Azaria and David Hyde Pierce mixed up.

I hope David stays in the show as long as possible!

On Hank's singing: I was listening to a Simpsons audio cammntary, and Hank said that he can sing in a character voice, but he can't sing with his own voice.

Tony Danza? Egads! Azaria...I like him but I don't think he could pull this one off.

I assume that the person who said Tony Danza was just kidding.

Last week I saw a group of middle-adged tourists posing for a picture with the poster of Tony Danza outside the Producers. I died a little inside.

I posed for a picture with the real Tony Danza, but only because I had nothing better to do while waiting for Hunter Foster to come out of the stage door.

People get that the Tony Danza suggestion was a tongue-in-cheek suggestion, right?

I'm puzzled that CURTAINS hasn't even opened or been officially reviewed (at least as of this morning) and we're already in the replacement speculation business.

Yeah and I said I know the show hasn't opened yet. No harm in thinking about the future.

It won't last long enough to consider replacements.

"On Hank's singing: I was listening to a Simpsons audio cammntary, and Hank said that he can sing in a character voice, but he can't sing with his own voice."

If you listen to the song, Who Needs The Kwik-E Mart?, he sings it wonderfully as Apu.

I honestly think that if Azaria is going to do a musical that isn't SpamAlot, and requires him to sing alot more, then he would really have to do some training with his voice, cause like everyone says, he can't sing in his normal voice.
