@broadway157 I agree, just saw it in Sydney a few days ago! I was totally touched by Bert's character!

@broadway157 The Aussie cast has less powerful voices, but they perform it better in terms of staging, I think.

Van Dyke created this part, including the accent. It;s a question of taste but he made this part what it is today.

@Musicalandmore Dick Van Dyke is a wonderful actor and he made Bert for what he is but I prefer Gavin's accent. Gavin is great too!
