Was it daunting to step into Urinetown? It must have a certain rhythm after running for two years. How did you approach the role of Lockstock? Did you try to put your own stamp on the role?

No Questions but all I know

I saw the Beauty and the Beast on Ice Special where James, Susan Egan and the cast sang as famous ice skaters skated. He sang "If I Can't Love Her" and Man, it was the BEST rendition i have EVER heard, bravo!
