I have to disagree with Magruder: loved Jeckyl & Hyde with Cuccioli and Rob Evans. Words can NOT begin to express how much I hated it with Bach. I expect only actors who can both sing AND act on Broadway - and felt very cheated by his performance. Not too happy with him in Rocky either - glad he was booted from the Superstar tour. I would never, ever, again pay $ to see anything that he appears in - or even accept a free ticket. IMHO he is the absolute worst.
Was pleasantly surprised by Joey Fatone in Rent and adored Eric McCormick in the Music Man.
However, that's why there's chocolate and vanilla - everyone is entitled to his own opinion.

OMG!!! Sebastian Bach in Rocky Horror, as Riff Raff!! IMHO the worst, tried to upstage anybody that was on stage with him.
Of course, I am majorally prejudiced - Raul WAS the BEST Riff Raff - altho some of the understudies, e.g. Mark Price were not bad.

Another awful casting - Tom Selleck in 1000 Clowns.
Didn't think Rosie, Joey Fatone, or Christy were too bad in Suessical, Rent, or Beauty.

You are correct JAZ94: Bach spent more time perfecting his hair flip than concentrating on the roll. He WAS the horror in the Rocky Horror Show.
I took my 8 year old niece to Beauty and the Beast last week and thought Chrissy was, not the best, but not the worst Belle I've seen over the years. The kids in the audience just loved her though, and that's what it's really all about.

I've said it 3 million times, I'll say it again. Jon Secada. Cabaret.
I personally despised Molly Ringwald as Sally...what I'll do for Raul, haha!

Posted: 7/20/04 at 11:30amI thought Molly Ringwald did ok as Sally. She didnt blow me away, but she made it through the show without me being in pain.
