The Broadway production thought it would be a smart move to have a bigger name (Tony winner Kevin Anderson), a name bigger then just... Lee Morgan. Plus, Kevin was the first Taylor in workshops. I do agree with you about Lee's performance, so amazing, so full of life and reality, truth. I guess NYC knew what they wanted to do. But I doubt Lee is gone from Brooklyn JUST yet. :)
You know it and you want it... you just can't believe you've got it.
