Will Patrick Wilson EVER come back to a Broadway Musical? — Page 3

I saw the stage production of 'The Phantom of the Opera' once. I didn't care for it. I hated the style of singing and the over the top dramatics. That was at least 10 years ago. This year I was watching HBO and the movie version came on. I decided to watch and loved it. I prefer the more pop/rock vocals. I'm new to the whole Team Raoul or Team Phantom phenomenon. Still don't get why any girl would go for
a crazy murderer ... I thought Patrick was great and I loved the hair.

Ken Russell would have made it far more intriguing. Not the failed Oscar bait that we now have. But, I think the failure is ALW's iron hand on his material.

EricMontreal22. Patrick looks like Albert Nobbs in that Julie Andrews tribute link. XD

I just found this compilation video of all kinds of Patrick Wilson singing. It includes several things I'd never heard including a bit from Allegro and Lucky in the Rain. It also has clips from Oklahoma (People will think) and the Full Monty (Breeze Across the River). This video isn't that old, but it got buried amongst 'A Gifted Man' and 'Prometheus' and 'Watchmen' stuff.
Patrick Wilson Sings

I'd be fine if he went on stage without a costume
or even figured out a way out of his costume while on stage

"Gypsy, check out Angels in America--like most plays, it works better on stage, but is a worthy adaptation, and Patrick stands out in it (I think)."

He is such a non-entity in that movie, it's like watching invisible ink fade away. Kushner had to add a scene with him at the end just so audiences would remember he had been in the story at all.

"Hey, weren't you in a movie?" completely honestly sums up the issue with Patrick Wilson.

His best bet, not that I think he has it in him, would be to pull of an unexpectedly (which in my case is the only way it'd be possible) great Broadway performance that makes the world sit up and take notice. Let's face it, it was a total let down when he took the Hugh Jackman role in "Oklahoma!" and it's been one disappointment after another from him. He almost had a chance with "Full Monty," but he really did nothing after that to help his career.

Namo, while it sounds like he's never impressed you, I'm curious if you found him as forgettable in Little Children?

I adore him in "Angels in America." Nails it.

I think he's the best actor Hollywood's got to play the "boring guy" roles. It's actually a feat I've found in him to come off so unbelievably bland (I'm trying to make this complimentary...) on screen. He's wonderful in mostly everything I've seen him in. He's basically playing sexy wallpaper in "Young Adult" and does it very, very well.

And now we know why Patrick Wilson isn't doing a Broadway show this fall: he's going to have a role in HBO's 'Girls' in season 2.

I would love to see him back on Broadway.

Wonder what the planned show is.

Shooting "Girls" is not that much of a commitment. It's only ten episodes. It's already shooting. Andrew Rannels appeared in four of last season's.

Not only planning to head to Broadway, the contract was drawn up and everything. It's only recently that he dropped out, so the conflicting project may be something that hasn't been announced yet.
