I was lucky enough to have seen this show live in San Francisco with Douglas Sills on the National Tour. We thought his understudy might be performing for him as this was an early matinee the day after a late show. Needless to say we were THRILLED to learn that the man himself would be performing. Luckier still, we were sitting right by the aisle that he runs down at the end to confront Chauvelin. He was so close I could've touched him! But yeah, SUCH an amazing show!
@snoopyluvr123 I agree with you completely on Sills. Why Sills is not working?idk However, I can't agree with you regarding Depp-Hearns. Hearns is one of the worst over-actors to step foot on a professional stage. He eats the scene and peep still love him and to me thats amazing, esp given the fact that he is held in such high regard. As for Depp, although his singing was nothing to call home about, I would take his subtle forms of expression over Hearns' irrritating cries any day of the week
Since you posted the comment you've no doubt learned more about the musical. But the Scarlet Pimpernel is much more light-hearted than the other musicals you mentioned. Yeah, there are more moments where it gets dark. But overall, the tone is lighter. When I want to listen to something that's fun and not so dark, I listen to the Scarlet Pimpernel.
really like the Percy in this one. Felt it was very inspiring that he was willing to do whatever it took. Now best Percy of all time is Anthony Andrews with Jane Seymour in the film production though Douglas Sills is the best Percy for the musical. Saw this 10 years ago, and I'm still gagging to see it again.
