| He did it in DC a couple years ago. Beat me out for the role. | |

| Are you aware that he played that role (Arnold Beckoff) four years ago at the Studio Theatre in Washington, DC? The unabridged (as far as I could tell) 3.5-hour production was directed by Michael Kahn, the soon-to-retire artistic director of the Shakespeare Theatre Company in DC and long-time director of the drama division at Juilliard. I see a lot of theater (in NYC, DC and Baltimore), but Brandon Uranowitz was unfamiliar to me. (Even though I had seen him in "Baby, It's You", he did not stand out to me.) His performance in "Torch Song Trilogy" was amazing. | |

| As nice as his singing voice is, I don't understand Uranowitz's appeal (though, admittedly, I did not see American in Paris). I feel like his choices are always about eliciting as big of a reaction as possible from the audience. However, I think you're insinuating that Arnold should be played by an actor who reads as Jewish, a point that I ***strongly*** agree with. As skillful as Urie is, to me, he failed to authentically convey the aspects of Arnold's identity traditionally associated with Judaism. |
