Very nice, yes the mic does suck very badly, would've been better if on the higher notes when he had to push if he would have pulled the mic away a tad and it would be more clear but I digress.. Props
I thought it was very good and hes very talented. Anyone who can riff like that has my support, but let the record show that none of those riffs are written in any sheet music for that show, and that makes me question his interpretation a tad.
With regards to theatrenerd10's comment, I don't think it is his interpretation as since the show was recorded in 1998 nearly everyone who sings this song has done those riffs (including broadway stars danny calvert, darius de haas, and many others)
um he was good. he did like one extra riff and a run. seriously, i wish people would stop talking about riffs like they know what it is. its so annoying. everything else in this song is pretty much the darius version standard. he sounds like what i would think marty thomas sounded like when he was young. nice job.

Agree that there were a few too many riffs. You did a very nice job though. If you walked into an audition with with that many riff's most likely you will not get in though

Actually I know the piano player personally, and he can play. But 1. this is not an easy song and 2. he was probably sight reading.

I know...I don't really see what the problem with the riffing was. I mean, yes, if this were an audition, it wouldn't be a good idea, but I'm pretty sure he's not auditioning nor trying to act the song; he's just singing and having fun. Who cares if he did a couple runs?

Then it must not be the original music because I have the original sheet music right here and there are not nearly as many riff's as he does.
